Story
SAMMIE IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE HE IS ADOPTED!    "Hey there, I'm Sammie! I am a social butterfly who loves every dog I meet and really hope my future home has other pups to play with! In my foster home, my favorite times are snuggle time, playtime, and dinner time! I'm a pro at cleaning my plate. I am a bit curious about the resident kitty in my foster home, but I promise I've never been anything but polite! I'm well versed in 'sit' and adore a game of fetch. Give me a backyard, and I'll run myself into nap time. While I've got a sweet side, I've also been known to channel my inner American Ninja Warrior and take a hop over short fences. I need to be watched!   I've made many furry and human friends in my foster home, and they all seem to think I'm great! I'm working on mastering the leash and to not bark, but I am getting into the crate when asked! If you have a couch and endless love to give, I'm ready to be yours!"   He is estimated to be between 2-3 years old and 65 lbs. He is fully vetted including neuter, microchip, and all shots including rabies shot. His adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to VA. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Sammie up north after he is adopted.     To apply to adopt Sammie, go here:  http://www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net .    Any Questions, email us at newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com .     THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 1:30 pm

COOKIE IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE ADOPTED!   Hello, my name is Cookie and I’m here to sweep you off your feet. I am a 2 year old german shepherd around 65 pounds! I’m looking for my forever home and family to call my own! I’ve still got some energy and I’m always ready for an adventure. Whether it’s chasing a ball, exploring the great outdoors, or learning new things, count me in! I’m super smart and a quick learner – especially if treats are involved. I already know a few basic commands. I’m not just about playtime; I’m a cuddler too! Belly rubs? Yes, please! I thrive on human attention and will happily sit in your lap – even if I’m a bit bigger than your average lap dog. I also walk good on a leash! I love playing with toys, but a kong with frozen peanut butter, is my favorite! I love playing with other dogs of all sizes. I get very excited that I may knock little ones down, I’m truly a dog that doesn’t meet a stranger. I have not yet been around cats. Cookie’s loving personality and irresistible charm will bring happiness to those lucky enough to have her in their lives. Cookie is sure to become a beloved member of a family for years to come. She is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all puppy vaccinations. Her adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to VA. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Cookie up north to her new family.   If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com You can apply to adopt Cookie 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.February 15, 2025, 7:22 pm

Story
ROCKY IS  IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE ADOPTED!   Hi! My name is Rocky although my foster mom mostly calls me puppy! I was the runt of the litter, the underdog, hence my name Rocky but I am big in personality! My siblings foster mom did a DNA test and I have some German Shepard in me! My foster mom knows that to be true because I am extremely smart! I learned how to sit in one afternoon! I do very well with other dogs and wish I had a sibling to play with! I have never been on a leash because I will stay at close range with my foster mommy when she takes me outside. I don’t run off and I immediately come when called! I have lots of puppy energy, but I don’t jump up on my mommy’s guests! I’m pretty chill for a puppy and my foster mommy says I’m a good boy! I am crate trained, I will stay in my crate all night without whining! I’m ready for my furever home! I’m going to miss my border collie and lab foster siblings but I’m very dog friendly to any breed! Please consider me, you won’t regret it! I am fully vetted, and ready for my next adventure. Vetting includes  spaying/neutering ,  microchip, rabies as well as all puppy vaccinations, and has been on preventatives. His adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to VA. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Rocky up north to his new family.

Luci

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 2 yrs
Harrisonburg, VA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Luci was rescued by a kind soul that found her by the river super skinny. She called us and we picked her up. We believe she is a purebred GSD. She is on the smaller side at just 40lbs so if you love the breed but can't handle a very large dog, Luci would be perfect. She is spayed, UTD on all required vaccines, HW tested negative and microchipped. Typical to the breed, Luci does have a prey drive so no cats or small dogs or other small pets. She loves people and gets along well with a large group of dogs here. Also, Luci is reliably housetrained. If you would like to make this beautiful and sweet girl your new family member, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or dogs4mylife@gmail.com and we will send our info and application. If you do not see a response, please check your spam folder.

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Princess is an approximately 3 year old spayed female shepherd mix that desperately needs a home. Her owner was unable to continue to feed her, and a neighbor stepped up to help care for Princess but they are not able to care for her long-term. Princess is good with other dogs, and after having multiple litters of puppies before getting spayed, she is very maternal. She is friendly with strangers but will let you know when they come into the yard! Princess appears to be house-trained and is non-destructive when she comes inside the house at night to sleep. Once she knows where “home” is, she is not one to wander and sticks close to where her people are. Princess is fully vaccinated but is unfortunately heartworm positive.

Story
Hi I’m Dilly. I can be shy at first but I warm up after a little while. Once I do, I love playing with toys. Especially ones that roll, crinkle, or squeak. I’d like to live people who are understanding and are willing to help me come out of my shell. Once I like you, I’ll stick by your side like Velcro. That might be the Malinois in my ancestry. If you want a dog who will always be there for you, then come meet me today.
