Mustache was adopted from our adoption center @pet Mustache was adopted from our adoption center @petsmart  in Mueller!  #Iadopted #adoptlove @petsmartcharities
Swish… calm, collected, moseying through life, a Swish… calm, collected, moseying through life, and chicken-approved. 🐔✅
If that’s not adoptable energy, we don’t know what is.

Swish is still looking for a forever home that understands her needs—like ongoing skin allergy care, her “swishy” heart murmur (which will require occasional cardiology check-ins), and a lifestyle that doesn’t involve stairs or long walks. She needs someone who’ll keep her safe from overheating and love her for exactly who she is.

Swish isn’t your average dog—she’s got bulldog swagger, moves at her own mosey-paced speed, and needs immediate outdoor access for potty breaks (no walks down the hall to an elevators or lobby exit, and no staircases.). She thrives with a comfy routine, soft beds, and someone who will keep up with her vet care to keep her feeling her best. 

Bonus points if your home has a friendly dog buddy for her to hang with—or you’re home enough to give her all the attention she so politely demands. Chickens? Optional. Swagger? Non-negotiable.

Cubby wrote a song just for you this Sunny Saturda Cubby wrote a song just for you this Sunny Saturday! 

You could be my hooman, my only hooman,
I’d make you happy when skies are grey.
You’ll never know dear,  how much I could love you—
Unless you apply to adopt me today.

I had some ruff days before New Hope found me,
But I got here safely, and here I wait.
I'm now neutered and down for snuggles. 
And I could be yours without much delay.

You could be my hooman, my perfect someone,
My treat dispenser, come what may.
With all my snorting and  couch bound cuddles—
I could be your sunshine every day.
Two Good Foster Dogs. Zero Drama 🐾 Meet Momo [ Two Good Foster Dogs. Zero Drama 🐾

Meet Momo [left] and Sundance [right]—two rescued dogs fostered together who know how to bring the energy during playtime and the calm when it counts. They're just two happy, dog-social pups enjoying a chew side by side in this video. 

✔️ Dog-friendly
✔️ Crate and house trained
✔️ Smart, loving, and full of personality
✔️ Would love a yard and a dog friend*
✔️ Available for adoption separately

Momo is the zoomies queen—playful, snuggly, and full of heart and very trainable and eager to please. Sundance is a smart, adaptable dog who loves structure, enrichment and lots of snuggles. They’re not a bonded pair, but they show us how they shine around other friendly dogs.

If you’re looking for a fun, social companion who knows how to balance play and downtime, one of these two might be your match.

Welcome Cubby to New Hope Animal Rescue! 🐾 Thi Welcome Cubby to New Hope Animal Rescue! 🐾

This 48-pound bulldog might look like a loaf with legs, but don’t be fooled—he’s full of love, energetic snorts, and a squeaky toy obsession. He’s house and crate trained, dog-friendly, and follows his humans like a shadow. His signature move? Smashing his face into his favorite toy with bulldog determination while kneading it like a cat [aka, he's an expert biscuit maker!]. 😍

Cubby is settling into his foster home and will be available for adoption after his neuter and a medical evaluation! Follow us for updates on this lovable snort machine. 💙
