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 PA.  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
Meet Isabella or Izzie, a quirky little  36 pound bundle of joy. Izzie was found wandering around alone, she was emaciated and very weak. Dixie Girl and her incredible foster mom were able to step in and save her life. Izzie does well with children and other dogs, but prefers to stay close to her foster. 🎈 She is crate trained , but will require a heavy duty crate to keep her safe. She prefers to sleep in a cozy dog bed or snuggle with her foster. She is progressing with house training as long as she is kept on a schedule. Izzie is crazy about balls and will run after and retrieve them when outside. 🎾Otherwise, she prefers to be an inside house dog. She would thrive in a home where the human(s) are home most of the time! If sweet Izzie sounds like the perfect match for you , please submit an adoption application. She can't wait to meet her new family. 🎉

Story
Meet Fridge – Your Lovable, Roadside Rescued Best Friend! Fridge isn’t just a name—it’s a whole vibe. This sweet, gentle Pitbull mix was found on the side of the road and has since been on a weight loss journey, proving that second chances (and fewer snacks) can lead to something amazing. Fridge is the neighborhood favorite, winning over kids and adults alike with his calm, friendly demeanor. He’s the perfect mix of laid-back and social, always happy to greet new friends with a wagging tail. In his foster home, he’s been a dream companion, living peacefully with two other dogs and a child. He’s neutral around other dogs, making him an easy addition to a home with existing pets. While Fridge loves a good nap and cuddle session, he’s also discovering his adventurous side! He’s developed a real love for walks and enjoys exploring the outdoors. His foster family says he’s getting more playful every day, even starting to show interest in toys—a big step for this previously overlooked pup. When he’s not out stretching his legs or testing out his growing toy collection, Fridge is a true cuddle bug, always ready for some cozy downtime with his humans. He’s looking for a forever home where he can continue his journey—with love, companionship, and plenty of time for walks and play. Could Fridge be the missing piece in your life? Apply to adopt him today!

Story
🐾 Meet Jack! 🐾 Looking for a walking, running, or hiking companion? Or maybe just a best friend who will love you unconditionally? Jack is your guy! 🖤🐶 This 1-year-old Pittie mix is as sweet as they come. He loves everyone he meets, has a playful spirit, and is always ready for fun! His absolute favorite thing in the world? A BALL! 🎾 If you’re looking for a dog who will keep you entertained with his zoomies and puzzle-solving skills, Jack is the perfect match. ✨ Why Jack is Amazing: 🐾 Loves all people – He’s never met a stranger! 🐾 Dog-friendly – Currently living with big dogs and has done well with small pups in the past. 🐾 Smart & Trainable – Loves puzzle toys and is eager to learn! 🐾 Leash Ready– Walks well and takes corrections like a champ. 🐾 Adventure-Potential– Whether it’s hiking, running, or just exploring the backyard, Jack is always up for a good time. 🐾 Loyal & Loving – He’ll be your most devoted companion. 💡 What to Know About Jack’s Medical Condition (DEPOH) 💡 Jack has a genetic bleeding disorder called DEPOH, which means his blood clots break down faster than normal. But don’t worry—this is totally manageable! It doesn’t affect his daily life and only comes into play if he experiences a traumatic injury or needs surgery. Otherwise, he’s just like any other happy pup! Jack is looking for a forever family who will continue working his brain, keep him active, and give him all the love he deserves. 🏡🐾 If it could be with you, please let us know here: dixiegirldogrescue.org/forms.
