Moose was adopted by my family from a rescue when he was 3 months old. He just turned 1 on valentines day. A DNA test was done on him and he is 100% American Pitbull Terrier and beautiful brindle! Moose is sooo sweet and loving. He is great with kids and other dogs. He wants to play all day and has high energy. He is e-collar trained and it would be up to the future owner if they would want to continue with the e-collar. We just found out my 3 year old is allergic. He is a big baby!!! and LOVES love.

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
I took the dog in from a family who neglected him, I did this to give him a home full of love until I could find him a family. I had a bleeding heart once I heard his story from a friend and without any thought took him in. His name is Henry and he's about one years old. I took him to the vet, he's completely healthy and has all his shots. He is a very sweet cuddly boy who craves love. He lives his toys and blankets. He is crate trained but loves to sleep in bed at night when he's allowed to. I am looking for a family home that has a big yard for him to play in and people who will give him so much love and attention. He needs additional training because he was neglected and never trained properly.

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!

Story
Bishop - Needs Foster or Forever home Male Pit bull type dog About 6 years old House trained Crate trained Walks well on a leash Knows basic commands Can live happily with another dog of similar size Needs a home with older children Up to date with vaccines Neutered Bishop came to us as an owner surrender. He had been rescued from a bad situation by a Good Samaritan who could not keep him. We saw him advertised on a free pets' site and contacted the owner, who was thankfully was willing to work with a rescue. After spending time in boarding while we searched for a foster home for him, Bishop has spent time in foster-based training. He has done great! Bishop loves his walks, and needs a family who will take him on adventures and continue to introduce him to new people, places, and things. He would love a family who is at home for at least part of the day - a stay-at-home parent, a retired person or couple, or someone who works from home would be ideal for him. He is happiest when he is with people. He is an absolutely wonderful, happy, affectionate dog who will make a wonderful family member.

Story
Update: Bingo is thriving in his foster home (in CT)! This happy, playful pup adores his canine foster sibling and has a special fondness for children. He would be overjoyed to have a family of his own. Bingo is full of love and is ready to share - he could be the perfect addition to your family! Reach out to learn more! Meet Bingo! 🎉🐾 a 9-month-old Labrador/Pit Bull mix with a heart full of love and a playful spirit! This sweet and social pup adores people, gets along great with other dogs, and is fantastic with children. Whether he’s playing fetch, going belly up for belly rubs, or snuggling up for a cuddle, Bingo is always ready to bring joy to your day. He loves his walks and is always up for an adventure! Bingo is housebroken, crate trained, fully vetted, and ready to find a forever home of his own. Smart and motivated, he thrives on attention, toys, and learning new things. Currently in foster care, Bingo can’t wait to meet his perfect family. If you’re looking for a loving, fun, and affectionate companion, Bingo is your boy! Could you be the one to give Bingo his happily ever after? Reach out today to meet him! 🐶💙 Original plea: We're LOVE-struck! Bingo (M, 53 lbs potential LabXpit) is only 9m old and already has quite a story. His original owner bought him from a breeder even though his live-in girlfriend said she didn't want a dog. He put time and training into Bingo but his relationship struggled. Bingo's owner ended up moving out and said he would come daily to care for Bingo until he found a place for them which he was doing but when he couldn't she would not feed or walk Bingo. She called the shelter and told them that if they didn't accept Bingo she would just leave him in his crate to starve, as she had been doing and she meant it (heartless). Bingo came in underweight and heartbroken, having lost the only Dad (she doesn't get to be recognized as anything but a villain) he had ever known but he kept his spirits up which landed him straight into adoptions, where he was scooped up. One would think happy ending but not just yet. His adopter returned him in just a couple of days because her cat was afraid of him even though he had not done anything, except be a dog in a home with a cat that had never met a dog. Who knows, they may have become the best of friends but he was never given the chance. He's back at the shelter now💔 We met Bingo today, though his head hung low, he wagged his tail and when we came over to him, he gave us the most gentle, sweetest puppy kisses. We couldn't help but take him out for a walk and some play! He is so sweet, social, smart, playful, a mush, a kissy face, wiggle butt, mush! Though he pulled a little on the leash, he checked in regularly with us, was food motivated, knew some basic commands, passed dogs politely, and even went back into his cage (his clean cage) without a complaint, just one last kiss to show his gratitude. Please help us save Bingo, reach out learn more! He's located at a shelter nearby CT, will come fully vetted and we will help transport!

Update: Sundae is in a foster home now embracing all the joys of being a puppy! While she's a bit shy at first, her sweetness shines through - she wants to give and receive love and adores other dogs. More than anything, she's ready for a forever home to call her own, If you'd like to learn more about this lovable girl, reach out! Meet Sundae A Puppy Who Needs a Second Chance Today, we watched as Sundae was surrendered to the shelter by someone who claimed not to know her. But the truth was written all over her face, she had been abandoned by the only life she knew. At just 9 months old and 38 pounds, Sundae was so scared she couldn't even walk, she army-crawled across the floor, trying to make sense of what was happening. One look at her intake photo, taken while she was in medical says it all. Her eyes were filled with confusion and sadness, her little body frozen with fear. She didn't understand why she was there, why the world around her changed so suddenly. But we saw something else in her, too - a quiet hope that someone will come and show her love, patience, and kindness. Despite her fear, there's a gentle soul inside her just waiting for love. Sundae deserves more than the heartbreak she's endured she deserves safety and a family who will never let her down. With patience and love, we know she'll blossom into the happy, trusting pup she was meant to be. Sundae is looking for someone to change her story - to teach her that love is forever and that she'll never be abandoned again. Could that someone be you? Sundae is located nearby CT in an overpopulated shelter, we will help with transport to CT/other nearby areas, and she will come fully vetted, including spayed. Reach out today to learn more!
