Story

STELLA IS IN HER FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE ADOPTED! Meet Sweet Stella! Stella is a beautiful 10-month-old Belgian Shepherd/Black Mouth Cur mix, weighing around 45 pounds. She’s a super smart, energetic girl who is always ready for her next adventure! Stella loves zoomies, long walks, and trips to the dog park/doggy daycare. Fetch might still be a mystery to her, but she makes up for it by being an absolute champ at tug-of-war! Once she finally slows down, she turns into the sweetest, most cuddly pup who wants nothing more than to be close to her human. This bright girl is crate trained, housebroken, and a very quick learner. She’s still working on leash manners—mostly because she thinks you should walk as fast as she does! Stella rides great in the car and settles well once she’s had her play time. Stella hasn’t been fully tested with cats, as the cats in her foster home aren’t fans of dogs. She would do great with kids and could thrive as the only dog in the home, or with a confident, playful dog sibling. She would love a home with room to run or a human who enjoys staying active with her. Stella is a loving, joyful, silly girl who will bring so much happiness to the lucky family who chooses her. She’s ready to be your adventure buddy—and your cuddle buddy too! 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 Stella up north to her new family. If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com You can apply to adopt Stella here: www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!

Story

BENNY IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN, AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO VA ONCE ADOPTED! Say hello to Benny! This goofy, lovable 1-year-old mixed breed pup is ready to find a family who appreciates big hearts and even bigger paws! Benny is a fun-loving, rowdy pup who never says no to a game of fetch — in fact, it’s his favorite way to burn off energy and show off his playful side. He’s still a puppy at heart (and in size!), so he’ll do best with a family who enjoys activity, laughter, and maybe a few slobbery kisses along the way. He’s working on his manners and already showing how smart he is — eager to learn, especially when treats or toys are involved. Benny lives in a foster home with dogs and cats. He goes to doggy daycare a at least once a week. He enjoys his time with the staff and making new dog friends who play as much as he does. With a bit of guidance and plenty of love, Benny will grow into the loyal, gentle giant. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion who will fill your home with joy (and probably take up most of the couch), Benny is your guy! He is fully vetted. Vetting includes spay/neuter, microchip, rabies and all puppy vaccinations. His adoption fee of $600 includes the transport to VA. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Benny up north to his new family. If you have any questions, please email us at: newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com You can apply to adopt Benny 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.December 10, 2025, 12:11 am

Harrisonburg, VA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Lois is an amazing dog who is looking for her perfect home!! Would you ever imagine that this adorable smiling face had ever been anything but happy?! She seems to have forgotten her past (which was the too often sad story of a mom and her puppies struggling to survive) and is ready for her time in the spotlight. She's been waiting over a year and a half for her chance! Lois is an outgoing, friendly, playful, athletic, bubbly, energetic, happy-go-lucky girl who truly loves playing with her friends. She’s had a few different dog friends (all boys) that she’s played with and she is always up for a game of chase with some zoomies. No girl dogs for her, or cats. She really needs an active household. She’ll keep everyone entertained! Her big smile is just too contagious. Besides a family of her own, Lois also needs a secure, fenced yard. She’s quite the athlete and she likes to show off her athletic prowess. So we want to make sure that she stays safe! Lois is a great size - around 40-45 lb. She’s probably in the 2-3 year old range. She’ll be an amazing dog for the right home! This animal is being fostered in the South but transport to a location near you is included in your adoption fee. We use Rescue Riders Pet Transport, (www.rescueridersllc.net), the most animal-friendly transport on the road.
