Story
Drip is a typical American Bull Dog. He is a cuddle bug and incredibly loyal to his "people". Our daughter acquired Drip from the SPCA in Charlottesville when he was 6 years old. On a routine and around his "usual" people Drip is a dream dog but he definitely suffers from stranger anxiety. He tends to jump and "nip" at new people until he learns that they are safe...I imagine Drip has a past that we aren't aware of. We have never felt comfortable having him around children as he is definitely a reactive dog. With the proper training and care we truly believe that Drip would be a wonderful Dog for the right person! Drip is fully potty trained and trained on an underground fence. We can no longer keep Drip due to the fact that his owner, our daughter, is moving and Drip and our Male dog do not get along. We have 3 female dogs that he gets along beautifully with but there is tension between him and our male dog.

Story
MAX IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE ADOPTED! Hello! My name is Max. Can I tell you about myself? I’m the perfect weight at about 40 lbs. I’m about 2 yrs old. I am a little bit on the shorter side. My foster mom says I am the perfect size for anyone! My favorite thing is to run and play, so a family with another dog to play with would be awesome! I have other dog friends here and I get along well with them, but I’ve got a rowdy play style. I don’t go potty in the house cause I’m a good boy. I’ve learned that going into my crate isn’t so bad with a treat. I love to eat my meals in my crate! When foster mommy pets me, I just melt into her and love to cuddle with her at night. It’s great here, but I can’t wait to find a home of my own! Thank you for reading about me. Max is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all puppy vaccinations. His adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to VA. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Max up north to his new family. If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com You can apply to adopt Max here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!

Story
These 3 chunky babies were born in a rural shelter with not much hope. Thankfully an angel stepped up to foster mom and her babies. And this angel is also adopting the mom. Now we have taken the babies into our rescue and will get them fully vetted and ready for an awesome forever home. They were born around the first of June so they will be ready to go to forever homes the middle of August if everything continues to go as planned. THESE PUPS ARE FOSTERED IN TN AND WILL TRAVEL NORTH ONCE THEIR ADOPTIONS ARE FINALIZED AND VETTING IS COMPLETED. If you are interested in adopting please submit an adoption application at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFRR/Dog Their adoption fee is $399 and if transport is required there will be an additional $200 fee.
