Meet Champ! Champ is a tiny 7-pound bundle of lo Meet Champ! Champ is a tiny 7-pound bundle of love with a big heart and an even bigger personality. The shelter originally estimated him to be around 10 years old, but Champ clearly didn’t get that memo — based on his energy, behavior, and overall health, we estimate he’s likely closer to 5–7 years old. The first thing you’ll notice about Champ is his adorable signature underbite, which gives him the sweetest little expression and makes it almost impossible not to fall in love the moment you meet him. Champ is incredibly affectionate and loves being close to his people. He happily soaks up cuddles and attention and seems to believe the best place in the world is right next to you. Despite his small size, Champ is also wonderfully social with other dogs. In his foster home he gets along beautifully with everyone — even big pit bulls — and enjoys toys and occasionally starting a little play session with his dog friends. Champ is also an excellent houseguest. He is about 99% housetrained, sleeps quietly in his crate all night without a peep, and has been an easy, well-mannered little gentleman in his foster home. He also loves car rides, making him the perfect little companion for errands and adventures. At just 7 pounds, Champ is the perfect little sidekick to take everywhere — from coffee runs to road trips to cozy nights on the couch. If you’re looking for a loving little companion with a charming smile and a heart full of affection, Champ may be your perfect match.

Sparkle kept getting over looked for months despit Sparkle kept getting over looked for months despite being the sweetest girl! Her adopter didn’t see she was in Texas when she filled out the adoption application from 12 hours away in another state. But even once she realized this, she knew Sparkle was meant to be her dog and we agreed! The best homes are worth waiting for. Sparkle made the 12 hour drive to her new home just today but we are already getting updates of her zooming around her new, huge yard with her new fur brother! Some people don’t want to go far to meet a new dog. But Sparkle’s new mom drove 24 hours round trip to bring her new, fur baby home! We are so grateful for her love and commitment to Sparkle!

But the truth is, we can only say yes to urgent situations like this when we have both the funding to treat them and the foster homes to care for them. We need both. Amplify Austin is live now through Thursday at 6 PM. 💛 Your donation helps unlock additional matching dollars from a $25,000 Anonymous Animal Welfare Fund — increasing support for animals like Herb. Every gift matters: • $50 covers a wellness exam • $85 funds a comprehensive fecal test • $150 helps neuter This is just some of the vet care we provide to prepare a puppy like Herb for adoption.

Meet Maudie 💫 She was born with legs that move a Meet Maudie 💫 She was born with legs that move a little differently — and she fully uses them. We get lots of people asking if her legs mean limitations and here is some proof that they absolutely do not. She runs the yard. Climbs the stairs. Loves her daily walks. Sleeps through the night in her crate (her favorite place). Zero destruction during the day. Zero drama. She’s amazing with other dogs. Lives beautifully with a baby. Great with kids and adults. Thrives on routine. Patio and coffee shop approved. ☕️🐾 She’ll alert you when someone’s at the door… then greet them like she planned the party. Low-to-medium energy. Very high charm. If you want a dog who fits seamlessly into real life — and just happens to be unforgettable — Maudie’s your girl. She’s even a regular at @southpawsplayschool ! Apply to adopt Maudie. 💛 Her sister Gracie is also part of New Hope and is adoptable as well! TO APPLY: Please email contact@NewHopeSavesLives.org

Goldfinch, Sunwake, Firepoppy, and their brother Sausage were rescued off the streets during the height of kitten season by a compassionate Good Samaritan who refused to look the other way. She brought them to safety and took the responsible step of ensuring they were fully vetted and spayed/neutered before rehoming or reaching out to rescues—protecting their futures and ensuring they would never contribute to the cycle of unwanted litters. She lovingly rehomed Sausage herself, and reached out to New Hope Animal Rescue to help place the remaining three through our adoption program so they could find safe, loving, and permanent homes. 💛 Goldfinch (single kitten picturd), Sunwake, and Firepoppy were adopted through our adoption center at @PetSmart Balcones Woods and are thriving exactly where they belong. @PetsmartCharities Their story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when compassionate individuals, adopters, and rescue work together to change lives.

Amplify Austin is the biggest giving movement in Central Texas and our success determines how many lives we can save this year. By creating your own fundraiser and sharing it with your friends and family, you help introduce our mission to new supporters and directly expand our ability to save lives. People are far more likely to give when they see someone they know personally invested in a cause. Your voice builds trust, inspires action, and helps create the momentum that drives the success of our entire Amplify Austin campaign. Peer-to-peer fundraising creates a powerful groundswell of compassion — one that reaches beyond our immediate network and brings together a community united in giving homeless dogs and cats the second chances they deserve. And it’s not just about raising money. You are raising awareness. But when money is raised, every single dollar is crucial. The major 24-hour push is between March 4 6pm - March 5th 6pm; but Amplify Austin is LIVE now and donations are eligible for matching dollars through the Amplify Fund. Simply visit our Amplify Page and hit the Fundraise Button to create your personalized link. https://nhanimalrescue.org/ And we created this helpful guide that even includes social media, text and templates and links to photos for social media to make participating as easy as possible! But they are optional. The most important thing is you speak from your own heart!

YouTube Video VVVIQ1dWXzdEa0p4QmxjVVF0c3JjcDNBLm01SlViQXNnYzdV Goose was purchased for $900 from a breeder, but but just 48 hours after being purchased, Goose was surrendered to a shelter and at real risk of euthanasia. Given that history, it makes sense that he carries attachment and separation challenges from his past. Another rescue declined him because they couldn't take a behavior case, but all we saw was a misunderstood dog that needed patience and time and loving guidance. Thankfully, we had an amazing foster home for him and hew was adopted into an amazing home that is committed to his specific needs!

One of the tiniest lives saved last week… and already bossing his foster mom around. ❤️ Kittens this small often fade and pass away in shelters because they simply don’t have the staff or resources to provide the care these babies need. Fosters make little miracles like this happen.
Our tiniest life saved last week
Gracie and Maudie were rescued from a heartbreaking cruelty case—just 7 months old and already suffering the effects of severe confinement. Four puppies were crammed into a tiny wire crate, unable to move freely. As a result, Grace & Maudie's back legs are weak and wobbly from muscle atrophy, but don’t let that fool you—these girls can walk, play, and even jump on the couch! Maudie, the smallest, and was being crushed under the other puppies when animal control arrived. Her fur is missing on her head from pressing against the kennel. She has never stopped wagging her tail. They were at risk of being euthanized at a shelter that couldn’t place them for adoption. Until New Hope Animal Rescue said yes to rescuing them. This video follows their journey—from neglect and fear to baths, freedom, and finally, love. You’ll see Maudie walk straight into her foster mom’s arms, Gracie soaking up attention, and both sisters discovering the joy of toys and soft places to rest. 💛 These girls are healing every day—and with your help, we can continue giving dogs like them the second chance they deserve. 👉 Please like, share, and subscribe to follow their journey. ✨ Donate or learn more at: www.NewHopeAnimalRescue.orrg 📱 Follow us on Instagram/Facebook: @NHAnimalRescue Follow us on Instagram/Facebook: @nhgivelife #RescueDogs #AnimalRescue #GracieAndMaudie #NewHopeAnimalRescue #BeforeAndAfter #AdoptDontShop #secondchances
