Story
Meet our local celebrity, Dora the Explorer! Dora is around 2.5 years old and she weighs around 58 lbs. Dora was spotted for over 1 year traveling a wide area and numerous concerned citizens became concerned that Dora had lost her way and her family. A group of volunteers made it their mission to rescue Dora. After being caught it was evident that at some point she had a family that loved her because she knew many commands and was proving to be a very intelligent girl. Dora is very playful. She bonds to her humans very quickly and would just love to be a couch potato when she is not out in the yard entertaining herself or having fun playing fetch. Her foster family has several older dogs and Dora seems fine with them, however, Dora would do great as well, as a single dog family because she loves her people! Any questions about her can be answered by her foster mom and we can put you in touch with her. Dora is ready to travel when the perfect home is found for her.

Story
CHARLESTON IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN. CHARLESTON WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE HE IS ADOPTED!    This hunk is Charleston. He is a four year old Bulldog mix. He is the sweetest fun loving goofball. He is a big boy who loves attention. He wants you to pet him, and he wants to lean into you with his whole body. He does not meet a stranger in a person or dog. He loves playing in the backyard with his toys, and then lounging on the porch sunbathing. He gets excited to go anywhere. He will run to the door and wait for you to let him out- then he jumps right in the car. This adorable boy has the most stunning eyes. We believe Charleston has some hearing loss. He seems to hear some pitches, but either doesn’t hear the others or ignores them. He does good walking on a leash, is kennel trained, and house trained. He loves greatly- he will become your shadow. If he wants your attention he will whine/talk to you to let you know. Charleston is a big boy with still a lot of puppy energy so a home with older children would be best. This guy is amazing, and deserves the perfect forever home! He is fully vetted, neutered, and microchipped.  His adoption fee of $500 includes the transport to VA.  We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Charleston up north to his new family.   If you have any questions, please email us at:   newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com You can apply to adopt Charleston  here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 29, 2024, 7:51 am

Story
Bella & her running buddy, were left on the streets to fend for themselves. They had been wandering around that neighborhood for a while and befriended a kind business owner who made sure they did not go hungry. Thanks to that Good Samaritan who gained their trust, they were taken in & have been in foster care since. She has gained 20 pounds since then and is doing great! She is approx 3 years old & is fully vetted. As you can see in the video, she is a loving playful pup. Bella is a joyful soul who bonds closely to her people. This 60 lb dreamboat will steal your heart and shower you with love every day. Her furever family is going to be lucky beyond belief. If you are interested in learning more about this really sweet and deserving girl, please feel free to text or call Alecia Clark, @ 901-486-2850. We are a rescue organization located with our dogs in Tennessee and have weekly transport available for our pups to relocate up north with their new forever families. His adoption fee of $275 includes her vaccinations, spay, microchip and transport to her new furever home. Since a meet and greet is not possible prior to adoption, our adopters make their decision to adopt based on pictures, videos and talking to the foster parent. We will do everything possible to make sure she is the perfect match for you and your family & will be with you every step of the way.

Story
**WILLOW IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE ADOPTED** Meet Willow.  This itty-bitty girl might be the runt of the litter, but she has a ginormous personality and isn't afraid to show it off! Weighing in at a whopping 9 lbs @ 10 weeks old, she loves to play with her 85 lb foster brother, yell at her sister Cricket for dirt rolling her, sneak attack june bugs, and take spontaneous naps. She is a serious, SERIOUS cuddle bug and if given the chance, she would sleep on your face! Not even kidding.  Very affectionate, seems to take correction well, and even tempered for her age.  Zoomies - probably the most adorable zoomies I've ever seen in my life. We have not started leash training yet, but plan on doing so within the next couple of weeks.  She is crate trained, sleeps through the night, working on potty training but we still have accidents - she's 10 weeks old, accidents are going to happen.  We were told her litter was American Bulldog, but we honestly have no idea what these little grass goblins are mixed with until they get a little bit bigger. Willow will be ready for adoption on or around May 21st.  At that time, she will be fully vetted, microchipped, and spayed.  Willow's adoption fee of $550.00 includes transportation to VA.   We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Willow to her new family. If you have any questions, please email us at newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com,  and we will answer as soon as we possibly can. You can apply to adopt Willow here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!

**CRICKET IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE ADOPTED** This little girl is EVERYTHING!  Cricket is a 10-week-old, 11 lb., American Bulldog mix who is probably the prettiest lil' thing I've seen in a long time. Cricket is 100% puppy energy who loves stalking & dirt rolling her little sister Willow, playing with her foster sister Lady, beating up random shoes, and corralling her favorite toys into her kennel for safe keeping.  She is very attentive for a puppy and loves when you talk to her, especially if its cuddle time...she will zonk out hard.  If you're looking for a nap buddy or a cuddle queen, Cricket is your gal! We have not started leash training yet, but plan on doing so within the next couple of weeks.  She is crate trained, sleeps through the night, working on potty training but we still have accidents - she's 10 weeks old, accidents are going to happen.  We were told her litter was American Bulldog, but we honestly have no idea what these little grass goblins are mixed with until they get a little bit bigger.

Story
Meet the charming Remy, believed to be around 6 years old and discovered as a stray. This 35-pound brindle bulldog is an absolute sweetheart with a gentle and quiet demeanor. Remy is fully vetted, microchipped, and ready to embark on a new chapter in a loving fur-ever home. All he desires for Christmas and the New Year is a caring family to call his own. Dog-friendly and people-friendly, Remy yearns for someone to love him and provide the stability he deserves. Despite having once belonged to someone, he found himself alone and unwanted, perilously close to being euthanized when our rescue intervened. Now, the focus is on finding Remy the perfect forever-loving home where he can thrive. If Remy has captured your heart and you are interested in offering him a home, please visit our website: https://Serendipityanimalrescue.org for more information, application, or to make an inquiry.

Story
Ollie is an affectionate and adventurous companion, and DDB's token "Golden Bachelor." He's an older gentleman at approximately 9 years old, but you'd never guess it! He has a zest for life and a personality bigger than any you've seen. This spunky 55lb pup has the cutest bobbed tail that makes his entire body waggle and wiggle when he's happy and is looking for someone to share it all with! Ollie is the type of dog that just wants to do everything with his person. He loves car rides, walks in the park, trips to the drive-thru, watching TV, snuggling, and just hanging out. He's more than willing to head to Starbucks for a pup-cup date or cuddle up on the couch for a movie marathon. Ollie is a people pleaser who enjoys showing off his tricks, practicing new ones, and making his person smile simply from seeing that goofy, crooked, ADORABLE smile of his! He can a bit cautious of new people, but if you break out the snacks, he realizes you're "one of the good ones" and will be your best friend! Ollie is good with most dogs but prefers older mellow females and dogs who aren't too much in his face. He is a more relaxed soul and would do well with dogs that match his energy. Because he can be iffy with some dogs, he should not go to dog parks, playgroups etc. where he is no longer directly in control with his person. He has not been officially cat tested but he's been fine with cats on his current foster's property outside, as well as been fine with smaller dogs and lives near farm animals and shows no prey drive. Ollie should not live with small children due to being nervous around them and their energy, but older children are ok. He walks well on a leash without any reactivity to humans or other dogs, is potty trained, crate trained and listens well when he's called. If you're looking for a super chill companion dog, Ollie may be the guy for you!
