Story
Riley, born in January or February of 2015 is a tricolor, smooth coat, collie/border collie mix with some brindle markings on his legs. He has experienced 2 failed adoptions. He was adopted from us when he was about 6 months old and was returned to us 3 years later when the male member of the adoptive family, who had Alzheimer’s, became abusive toward him. In time he began developing his self-confidence again and began to lose his fear of men. Even though he was still somewhat leery of men he didn’t know, he would actually seek attention from men with whom he was familiar. He got along well with the dogs in his foster home but he behaved aggressively toward any new foster dog that periodically come in. He is not good with cats as he showed aggression toward the clinic cat at our vet’s office. Riley was adopted a second time, but after a year of trying different techniques to manage Riley’s difficult behaviors his second adopter felt that she could no longer handle him and once again Riley was returned to us. He left us weighing 55 pounds and returned, markedly overweight, at 78 pounds. He is now back to a healthy weight. Riley has had extensive training. He is quite smart and learns quickly. He rides well in a car and walks well on a leash unless he meets a dog while out on the walk, in which case he will pull and act aggressively. Riley is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, is heartworm negative and is being kept on heartworm and flea and tick prevention to maintain his good health. Riley is located in Arkansas. His adoption donation is $415 which includes the $165 transport fee. If you would like to adopt Riley, the first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application, please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in

Story
DAISY IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE ADOPTED!     This gorgeous gal with the stunning smile is Daisy. She is a Collie mix, with shiny soft fur. She’s supper sweet, but timid at first. Once she knows you are okay though she will presently roll over and present her belly for rubs and pets. She gives her foster mom kisses all the time. She’s smart and wants to please, but the shyness holds her back. But it’s getting better. She sleeps in a crate all night. Daisy is house trained as well. She is not crazy about a leash, so we are still working on that.  Daisy is great with every dog she meets, and would do best in a home with another dog to help build her confidence. Daisy’s pal in her foster home is Elroy the cat. Daisy is a sweet submissive gal needs the perfect forever home. 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 Daisy up north to her new family.   If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com You can apply to adopt Daisy 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.August 19, 2024, 10:00 am

Story
Hey there everyone! I'm Oscar, a 6-month-old Collie mix weighing about 25 pounds. I'm a super sweet and precious pup, always ready to shower you with love and affection. I came here with my two siblings, Ollie and Olivia, who are also on the hunt for their forever homes. Though we’re looking for separate families, I'm excited to find a loving home where I can thrive and share my playful and loving nature. I also get along wonderfully with other dogs and love making new friends. So don’t wait any longer, apply today to adopt or foster me! Oscar is available for adoption but is also in need of a foster home. To Adopt (or foster-to-adopt), please complete the adoption application here: https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-application To Foster, please complete the foster application here: https://anewchancear.org/foster/fostering-application/ 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.

Looking for your new best friend? Nestle is the happiest and most loyal dog you will ever meet! Nestle gives the best hugs and kisses and somehow knows when you need them. He is full of love and snuggles, and he enjoys curling up next to you while you’re watching TV. He’s about 2 years old, weighs 78 pounds, and we believe he’s a Collie/Shepherd mix. Nestle knows the basics… sit, stay, lay down, shake, and kennel. He loves toys, playing fetch, and his favorite…a kong full of treats! Nestle’s foster momma says “they don’t get any better than Nestle. He is the BEST!! I’m telling you he is absolutely the best dog. Super super smart. He is a lover of all things and picks up on commands very quickly… he loves to cuddle and always wants his paw to be on you. He also loves to go on walks and gets super excited about meeting new dogs and new people.“ Nestle is housebroken, crate trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventives. If you’d like to make this all-around amazing boy a member of your family, please email bigyellowdog.wendy@gmail.com for an application.

Penny is a gorgeous 2 year old girl, who needs a home that will give her time to adjust as she can be a little nervous.  She is very very sweet, is good with dogs as long as they are not "right in her face" but who likes anyone being right up in our faces!!  She would do best with older children, and would love a fenced in yard to run and play in.  One where she has freedom to relax, lay in the sun, or chase after a ball. Please go to the link to fill our our adoption application.  https://www.remembermerescueny.net/adoption-application  Remember Me Rescue does not adopt out of the local area, no transport is available.  We adopt to Long Island, Westchester, NYC area and parts of Connecticut only. Also, we have a very high volume of applications and we are all volunteers. We cannot respond to every application personally. Please make sure your application gives us a good picture of your family and the life you plan on providing a dog from our rescue. We choose a home based on the BEST FIT for EACH dog and approve on a dog by dog basis. Thank you! ##1789108##
