Story
I acquire him on a store back in 2016, he is now 8 years old, Bulin is very easy going loves to be petted and also loves when you take him on rides. He won't bother you as long as you are next to him, he will be there. If you won't look for him, he will come up to you to be petted. He is very loveable, kind, barks at new people, doesn't like when you get too closed to his food or even treats but he won't bite only growl. Has everything up to date.

Story
Mercedes is an active and athletic girl, she loves to explore and to stay busy. Mercedes is a medium sized girl, weighing just under 30 lbs. If you are looking for a buddy to take with you on adventures, she is your girl. She is learning leash manners, she is very treat motivated which helps in her reward training. Mercedes will sit for her food and treats, she is gentle when taking food from your hand. She should fit into most any family, we have not had the opportunity to introduce her to children, but she has a great temperament and should do fine. She likes to be where the action is at, her ideal home would have a fenced-in yard for her to explore and run and play. She has done well in multiple play groups, she is not dominant with other dogs, but does not like overly assertive ones. Mercedes has been picked on by bigger dogs, so she can be somewhat timid with them until she knows she can trust them. We do not think she would do well with small animals like cats, she does want to chase and is a little TOO interested in them. This girl is well rounded and is looking for someone to choose her! She is a great size, not too small and not too big :-) She is fully vetted and ready to go home.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Jedi and his siblings joined our rescue on May 14th as a local accidental litter.  We are hoping the owners follow through with having their dogs fixed so there are no more litters!Jedi was born on 2/24/2025 and his momma is a Jack Russell Terrier and the dad is a border collie.  These pups may have other breeds in them as well. We believe Yoda will probably grow to a medium size dog.  He does have double back dew claws.Jedi is a very sweet and social puppy!  He is just very easy going and thinks life is great!  He has gone on some social excursions with his foster mom and has yet to meet a stranger! Jedi is learning how to walk on a harness and will need continued work, but he is making progress.  His recall is excellent and he is very treat motivated!  He is wonderful in his crate and will happily go in by himself and lay down.  The house training is making slow headway and will need to be continued as well. Jedi is up to date on vaccines, dewormed, and current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention.  His adoption fee is $450.If you are interested in this cutie, please submit an application on our website at https://worthytails.rescuegroups.org.  For any questions, please send an email to jessie.wilson@comcast.net.Thank you for your interest in a rescue puppy! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 9, 2025, 9:22 am

Story
CALEB IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO PA ONCE ADOPTED!   Caleb is sweet, calm, and very smart. He is a 6 month old mixed breed pup that weighs about 20lbs. He is also quick to learn new commands. He already walks well on lead, knows ‘no’, is learning leave it and sit. He is crate trained and will bark to be let out. Caleb plays very well with all other dogs in the foster home of every size. He would enjoy the company of another well temperamented canine friend or be happy focusing all of his attention on his person. Keep in mind, Caleb’s favorite thing is playing chase with his foster siblings. He prefers to play with dogs slightly larger than he is.  He can be rough (puppy energy) with toy sized dogs. Caleb loves kids. And he loves sticks, balls, and Benebones! Once you see this precious pup with the Heart on his head, your heart will melt. He is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all puppy vaccinations. His adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to PA. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Caleb up north to his new family.   If you have any questions, please email us at:  newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com   You can apply to adopt Caleb here:  www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net   THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!
