Eleven went home this weekend! Her new parents knew she was coming. But their sweet kids had no idea. This video is worth a watch.
After losing their beloved dog to old age, the kids had been having a hard time adjusting to life without a pup.
This is the video reveals the moment they learn their dreams are coming true! The moment they meet Eleven for the first time.
Eleven and her brother Hopper were found abandoned in a neighborhood where no one recognized them. New Hope stepped in to keep them out of a shelter.
Now Eleven has a family, and Hopper is still waiting for his. Hopper has a pending DNA test so we will have a big reveal for him soon too but he appears to be a pyrenees mix.
Hopper is an affectionate, goofy puppy who’s ready to meet his people. Apply to adopt him at NewHopeAnimalRescue.org

Sweet sisters Asha and Amber are heading to their forever home together—with two sisters who are absolutely over the moon to welcome these sweet kittens into their family.
Sisters adopted by sisters —and one very happy family!Captain Jack and Skippy Jones adopted together at PetSmart in Balcones Woods!
Captain Jack and Skippy got to leave New Hope together last brothers, but that is not how their stories began...
Captain Jack came to New Hope on July 3 at approximately four weeks old. A member of our team was at a local shelter to pick up a dog when she noticed that he and his two littermates were not thriving. Having entered the shelter at only three weeks old, they were still at an age when they needed bottle-feeding and help transitioning to eating on their own.
By the time they reached us, two were critically fragile. Despite round-the-clock feedings, fluids and supportive care for the entire litter, Captain Jack was the only one to survive, but now he was alone.
Skippy Jones entered that same shelter alone at five weeks old. And joined our rescue mid July.
Oh, this photo gives the ending all the heart it needs. You can actually see their new family, so the copy doesn’t have to strain for emotion.
I’d end it:
Captain Jack and Skippy were initially fostered separately, but later moved into the same foster home so each could have a kitten friend. They quickly became inseparable.
Now they get to spend their lives together—and they have three human siblings to grow up with, too. We could not be happier for this entire family!
And yes: the gray kitten is visibly snuggled into one child while Skippy is being proudly held by another. It’s a genuinely wonderful adoption photo.
