Story
I can’t believe I even have to do this but I’m looking for a really good home for my dog. She’s housed trained she doesn’t use the bathroom in the house, she doesn’t chew things only toys she a really good dog. She doesn’t like the rain or wet grass and she loves sleeping in her cage with the door left open and she loves sheets. She’s good with big dogs not little ones and she doesn’t really like cats either. Remy would like to be the center of attention so a house with no little kids is preferred she does good with older kids. My daughter is really scared of all animals we had to rehome my cat and I tried to give it time but she just to scared of her. I would like for Remy to have a home with a backyard so she can run around something I haven’t been able to give her cause we live in an apartment building.

Story
This is Ruby!  She was found on the streets of Memphis and a couple days later she had 15 puppies in our rescue. She took great care of her puppies and they are all adopted now. Ruby is a gentle soul. She looks at you with eyes that show appreciation for her life. Her tail is always slowly wagging and she has a happy bark that bounces her whole body. Ruby loves hugs and pets from her humans. She is very sweet and calm most times - but does like to chew on bones and has energy to do short zoomies in the yard. She loves to go for slow walks especially if she gets to sniff along the way. It is entertaining to watch her look for bugs in the grass. She is always jumping back in surprise at  any movement.  She will throw herself down on the grass  and rub her back conv e nien tly exposing her belly for a rub . Ruby likes to be hosed down when it is hot out. Ruby is very smart and is responsive to commands and training. Ruby currently spends her days in an outdoor run and her nights in her crate inside. She is housed next to another female dog who she gets along great with. She likes other dogs but doesn't put up with any silly play.    She is best as an only dog or with an owner with breed specific experience. She is about 6  years old, and weighs 70   lbs.   Ruby has been spayed, is current on her vaccinations and microchipped.  Her adoption fee is $550  and includes her transportation to her new home in CT.  SHE IS IN A LOVING FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO HER NEW HOME ONCE ADOPTED!  New Beginnings Animal Rescue uses  a licensed and registered USDA transport company.    If you would like to apply to adopt Ruby, please fill out our online application here:  http://www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net.  Any questions, please email us at:  newbeginnigs_animalrescue@yahoo.com.   THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!

I just want to hang out with people, and lounge around. My foster family says I am a big ole couch potato. I guess I have earned that as I am around 6-7 years old. Don’t let that fool you though- I love going outside playing/ and for walks. I am wonderful with other dogs and kids. I am not a fan of cats-sorry! I am completely house trained, kennel trained, and leash trained. I come when you tell me. I ride well in a car. I love to tag along on all my foster moms outings. I don’t meet a stranger. I do feel everyone should pet me if they see me. She is completely vetted. Vetting includes spaying/neutering, microchip, rabies as well as all puppy vaccinations, and has been on preventatives.

Story
**POPPY IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE SHE IS ADOPTED** Poppy is a silly and fun loving little 5-month-old mixed breed pup with the BEST EARS IN THE MIDSOUTH. She is part pitty, part cattle dog, and part boxer. She is currently in a foster home with her sister, Violet, and other fur animals. She has been in rescue for most of her life with no applications. She enjoys having someone to play with, but she can also be caught snoozing all by herself. She lives in a home with a 7-year-old girl which has proven she is excellent with children. Poppy is the most fun-loving, sweet, happy go-lucky gal. Poppy's favorite thing is to give KISSES. She will lick you all day to show her affection. She is an amazingly sweet and playful puppy. She has mastered the "sit" command and "come" command with the motivation of a treat. She is potty trained and kennel trained! She's currently sleeping all night in a kennel and can even be found in her kennel with the door open.    Poppy is an amazing little pup that is so confused why she has had no applications. Her foster mom has nothing but good things to say about her blossoming personality. Poppy is looking for her forever home with a fenced in backyard and excellent previous vet history. She is currently taking applications for her NEW BEST FRIEND.  Poppy is fully vetted including all shots; she is spayed and microchipped.  She's also current on heartworm prevention. Poppy's adoption fee of $550 includes the transport to CT. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Poppy up north 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.

Story
**VIOLET IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE SHE IS ADOPTED** This long-legged spotted beauty is Violet! She is so confused why she has had no applications. Violet is an adorable little 5-month-old mixed breed pup. She is part pitty, part cattle dog, and part boxer. She is currently in a foster home with her sister, Poppy, and other large fur animals. Violet is an incredibly smart dog who has learned "sit" very quickly and is very treat motivated. Violet can be on the shy, reserved, and quiet side compared to her siblings, but she loves attention. She may benefit from having a companion animal to help her warmup, but she'd be fine as an only dog too with ALL of the attention. She loves to cuddle in your lap. She will be the first one to flip over so that she can get ALL the belly rubs on her cute little spotted belly. She does the cutest little "awoos" when she is excited. She lives in a home with a 7-year-old girl which has proven she is excellent with children. Violet lets her human sister tote her around and dress her up and never complains. She loves a good stick in the yard, and she will even try to throw it to herself. She LOVES water.  Of all of these things, her favorite place to be is cuddled up on the couch with you for naps and relaxing.    She is potty trained and kennel trained, sleeping through the night in her kennel. Violet may need some time to warm up to you, but once she does, she will be your loving best fur friend forever.  *At a recent outing, it was proven Violet is excellent with cats! She respects their space but is happy to entertain gentle play time.* Violet is looking for her forever home with a fenced in yard and excellent previous vet history. Violet is currently taking applications for her family, and she cannot wait!   *Feeling froggy?? Consider adopting Violet and her sister Poppy together! They are BFFs and wouldn't mind the company in a forever home.* Violet is fully vetted including all shots; she is spayed and microchipped.  She's also current on heartworm prevention. Violet's adoption fee of $550 includes the transport to CT. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Violet up north to her new family.
