Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hey there new friends, I’m Florence! I’m a 7-year-old Bichon, weighing in at just over 10 pounds. My life before coming to the rescue was spent confined to a puppy mill, so I’m a bit unsure when I meet new people, but I warm up nicely and have been told I’m a real sweetie. I love being pet, and I’m starting to really enjoy those gentle pats and belly rubs. I’m a laid-back girl who doesn’t need a lot of excitement—just a cozy spot to relax and some love from my humans. I’m also great with other dogs, so if you’ve got a furry friend at home, I’d be happy to hang out with them, too. Having some doggy pals around actually helps me feel more comfortable, so I wouldn’t mind a canine companion! The rescue wanted me to share with you that they are getting me all set up for my spay. I’ve missed out on a lot of love in my life, but I’m excited to finally find a home where I can relax and feel safe. Could that be with you?
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.
