Story
Meet Polar, a gentle soul with a heart as vast as the Arctic. At 78 pounds, this sweet year and a half old shepherd mix has weathered life’s storms. He is a bit shy, but once he feels warmth and finds connection, his personality comes out and it's clear what a loyal and kind companion he truly is. This sweet boy just needs to find his people, and when he does, they will see what a true gem he really is.
An avid adventure buddy, Polar loves to dash and dart around the backyard, reveling in the joy of a solid runabout. But when it's time to unwind, he’s a certified couch potato, happy to snuggle up beside his people for some quality downtime. Polar gets along with other dogs, but he can sometimes be specific about who he wants to spend his time with, so introductions are important.
This smart boy is fully house trained and has already mastered the art of sitting. He is a quick learner and enjoys bonding with his people through love, walks and just hanging out.
Polar can't wait to settle into the family life he was meant for. With patience and love, this gentle giant is poised to transform his people's life into an amazing partnership.

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.
