When we received the plea for Sadie's rescue, we knew we couldn't turn our backs and intervened to keep her out of the shelter. Her owner, struck by illness, could no longer care for her beloved companion. Despite the deep affection her owner held, Sadie had not received routine veterinary care, leaving her with rotting teeth and gums that cause constant pain. At the age of 12, Sadie is also still unspayed, which contributed to the formation of a mammary mass, another medical issue that needs immediate attention. We urgently need your support to help her on this transformative journey and to shine a light on the importance of rescuing senior dogs like Sadie. Senior dogs like Sadie hold a special place in our hearts. They have spent their lives offering love, loyalty, and companionship to their human families. Now, in their golden years, they deserve the same devotion in return. Shelters, with their loud noises and unfamiliar surroundings, can be incredibly stressful for seniors like Sadie.  Thanks to a New Hope foster, Sadie will start her journey of healing in the peace and comfort of a loving home and she will not step foot in a shelter.

Dexter, our lovable Pyrenees mix puppy, is still in search of his forever home. This heartwarming video features Dexter and his buddy Meeko, a kitten who we rescued from the same shelter. Despite their size difference, Meeko can't resist snuggling up with Dexter, a true testament to Dexter's gentle nature. Dexter is eager to share his loving spirit with a family who will cherish him. He gets along famously with every dog, human, and kitten he meets. Could your home be the perfect match for Dexter's boundless love? #AdoptDexter #GentleGiant #UnconditionalLove
From Shelter to Snuggles: Meeko and Dexter's Touching Tale
These puppies are enjoying air conditioning, lots of good food, water and toys after being abandoned at a flea market to die. In scorching 107-degree heat, one of our volunteers spotted a lone puppy at a flea market, confined in a dirty crate with no access to shade or water with a heartless "free" sign. The other vendors reported to her that the owner of the puppy had disappeared, abandoning this puppy and siblings the day prior. Covered in fleas and vomiting rocks and sticks because they were desperate for food, she found 3 more puppies cowering under a nearby trailer. Without hesitation, our volunteer stepped in, rescuing them from this deadly, heartless situation.

New Hope's Papaya and Harold are kicking off the day with some epic playtime before the sun turns up the heat! Papaya once thought to be dog aggressive has been writing the book on fantastic dog interactions in her foster home lately! But let's talk about her playmate Harold – he's the yin to her yang, the calm to her playful storm. Papaya's got her own special style of play, and sometimes it's a bit, well, exuberant and dominant! This can feel threatening to some dogs which can escalate to conflict, but with low-key and lovable Harold, it shows us that opposites just might attract. Papaya's showing potential to go to a home with another dog if it's with a savvy adopter and the right dog friend. Her heart's as big as her enthusiasm, and she's ready to share her love. She might be a bit quirky in play, but Harold's got her back – his chill vibes keep things smooth sailing! Don't be surprised if Harold's crush grows even stronger [just like ours!]– it's hard not to fall for Papaya's charm! She will win you over too! She's never met a stranger and is so eager to please her hoomans! #MorningZoomies #PlaytimeHeroes #PawsomeDuos #PapayaAndHarold #AdoptDontShop

Dexter needs your help finding a home - can you share his story? He is a 10 month old pyrenees mix with a story that tugs at the heartstrings. We asked trainer Joanna Elliott for ideas on interactive toys and instead of sending us more products to purchase, she sent us this video for ideas for fun, FREE DIY games to keep your pet's brains busy and occupied without breaking the bank. We thought this would be helpful for our followers so sharing these free tips! Thank you Method Dog Training When senior Shih Tzu Sadie's snores hit the decibel level of a rock concert, even the TV can't compete!
