Story
🐾 Meet Sammy! 🐾 Sammy is an adorable 2-year-old Maltese/Yorkie mix who is neutered and ready to find the loving, stable home he deserves. Sammy has not had the benefit of living in a consistent, stable environment, so he will need a family willing to give him patience, grace, and lots of love while he settles in and learns what it means to truly be home. 🏡 A few things to know about Sammy: • 2 years old • Male & neutered • Maltese/Yorkie mix • Needs some grace and consistency with house training • Does not do well with larger dogs • No cats, please • A home with smaller dogs may be a better fit • Needs a patient, loving family who will give him time to adjust Sammy isn’t looking for perfection—he’s looking for stability, kindness, and someone who won’t give up on him. With a predictable routine, positive reinforcement, and plenty of love, we believe this sweet little guy can blossom. ❤️ Sammy is ready for a fresh start and a family to call his own. Could that be you? He’s available for adoption through Blues City Animal rescue🙌🐾❤️ Application in the comments below

Story
shelter notes: 8/2-Ziggy was frightened to walk thu the kennels to the little yard so I carried him.  Once in the yard he immediate pooped & peed, definitely house broken.  He spent much of his time searching for a way to escape but consistently took a break and came to me for some affection.  He was not interested in the dog in the next yard.  He was brave enough to walk all the way back into recovery.  He has a healthy appetite and occasionally would sit for a treat.  those were notes from the pound. Once in foster awaiting transport, Ziggy gave a puncture would to the volunteer holding him when he began to stand up though he slept with his wife the night prior. He also badly punctured the hand of the transporter when attempting to remove him from the crate. He has a bite history and we have not spent enough time with him yet to know the triggers though obviously he likes to do things on his terms. He is fine when left to his own decision making. And because he is cute and one is drawn to him, no children or elders. Experienced dog people only please.

for now at least this little guy (11 pounds) has some 'healing' to do as he arrived under the weather with the dog pound crud but he is sweet and housetrained and quiet and soon will be ready to head to a loving home. He certainly misses someone!

Story
Hi there! I’m Ben, and I have a little secret to share, I’m pretty sure I’m made of 50% sweetness, 50% scruffy cuteness and 100% irresistible charm! With my fluffy little beard, soulful eyes and adorable scruffy good looks, I’m basically a walking, 4 year old, 14 pound Maltese-Terrier mix wagging teddy bear. But I’m not just a pretty face! I’m a good boy who walks nicely on a leash and is ready to explore the world with my new family…well, slowly please. I’m also a pup who would really love to have a friendly canine companion in my forever home. Let me explain my brother, Mr. Max and I were surrendered by our owner because she was aging and no longer could take care of us. We would love to go to a home together, but we understand that’s a lot to ask. So we are OK starting a new chapter on our own as long as I will have a different Canine sibling to snuggle with and help me be brave. So, if you have a sweet pup who might enjoy a little brother, a heart with room for one ridiculously adorable scruffy boy and a home ready for plenty of love, I might just be your perfect match.Fair warning: I may cause excessive smiling, spontaneous cuddles and the uncontrollable urge to show my picture to absolutely everyone you meet! Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from A New Chance Animal Rescue (https://anewchancear.org). We are a 501c3, tax deductible organization. ANCAR is a foster-based rescue, and we adopt within a 90 mile radius of Bedford Hills, NY. You will find the adoption application here: (https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-application/). All fields on the application must be completed. Please read about the adoption process (https://www.anewchancear.org/adopt/our-adoption-process/) so you'll know what to expect when you submit.Our dogs are in foster care and we do NOT have a shelter or boarding facility. AN APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL AND APPROVED BEFORE A DOG CAN BE MET. This is a firm policy. Our busy volunteers are not able to respond to questions about the dog or dog meeting requests in the absence of an application. We know these dogs very well because they are in foster care. Please read the profiles of the dog(s) you are interested in prior to submitting an application. If there are specific requirements stated (ie: Fenced Yard or Canine Friend Required) these are included because they are vital to the happiness, health, safety and adoption success of that dog. We are only able to save as many dogs as we have foster homes (https://www.anewchancear.org/foster/faqs/) and resources for. We provide medical care including vaccinations, testing, deworming, spaying/neutering and microchipping before transporting our dogs. We provide all supplies, preventatives and any follow up vet care necessary while they are in foster care. These costs are high and the number of lives we can save is entirely dependent upon donations from people like you. We do not receive funding from private foundations or government sources. If you can find room in your heart to help us, with any amount, we are truly grateful (https://www.anewchancear.org/help/donate/). We are a 501c3 organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. It is only through the kindness of supporters like you that we are 'changing lives...one tail at a time' by providing our dogs with 'A New Chance.' (https://anewchancear.org) Thanks so much.
