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!

TABBY IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE SHE IS ADOPTED!  Tabby is a 2-year-old bundle of joy offering up her velvety coat to pet with a happy "smile" whenever she sees you.  Her foster family says she is full of playful energy, eagerly romping around the house with her giant foster brother who is 3 times her size.  She gets along with cats as well as other dogs, and she is both crate-trained and potty-trained. Tabby is full grown at 55 pounds.  She loves affection and will happily climb into your lap given the slightest invitation...she can never get enough belly rubs, hugs, or kisses.  And if you like to put clothes on your doggie, she wears t-shirts, pajamas, and jackets just fine.   This sweet girl is ready and waiting to be someone's furever friend.  She is fully vetted including spay, microchip, up-to-date vaccinations and her rabies shot.  Adoption fee of $550 includes the transport to CT.  We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Tabby up north to her new family.

Story
MEMPHIS IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE ADOPTED!     Some stories take longer to write. Some dogs have a longer journey to health before they’re adoptable. And such was the case for Memphis. Discarded on the streets, pitifully starved, horrific ear and skin infections, this beautiful little dog was destined to die until one good hearted person stepped up. And this is where her story changes! But it’s been a long road to recovery. By the time she was saved, Memphis’ ears were so infected that the doctor wasn’t sure they’d be fixable without significant surgery. However, with months of medications and consistent cleanings, she has finally been given the green light and released from veterinary care. So this is where her next chapter starts! Memphis is looking for the author of the rest of her life! Can you be her next hero and write the rest of her story? Memphis is about a year old and 35lbs. She is just as sweet as she is beautiful. She’s a short girl with big personality and loads of love to give. Memphis has lived with other dogs and a toddler. Crate trained, leash trained and as gentle as they come. Due to the scar tissue in her ears, Memphis will require consistent ( 3xweek) ear cleanings at home to prevent infection from recurring- but she’s very tolerant and accustomed to having it done. Transport north available. Foster to adopt also considered. She is a sweetheart. She is completely vetted. Vetting includes spaying/neutering, microchip, rabies as well as all puppy vaccinations, and has been on preventatives. Her adoption fee of $550 includes the transport to CT. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Memphis up north to her new family.   If you have any questions, please email us at:   newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com You can apply to adopt Memphis here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!

GIRLFRIEND IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE ADOPTED!     Girlfriend here!  I will easily become your closest friend(girlfriend). 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.

Maddie is a sweet and friendly puppy who was found on the side of the road in a trash bag along with 4 other dogs. Can you imagine? We saved all five dogs and Maddie is the youngest, at only about 3-5 months old. She is happy go lucky despite her rough start in life. Maddie loves playing with toys and other dogs, but she mellows out nicely for her age as well. She will need work on potty training and leash training, but is doing well in her crate. Maddie is up to date on age appropriate vaccines & preventatives and we will work with a potential adopter to set up her spay. To learn more about the adoption process for Maddie, please call or text Brittany at 2037276625, thanks!
