New Hope Animal Rescue

New Hope Animal Rescue New Hope Animal Rescue saves the lives of dogs and cats at risk of being euthanized in shelters.

Whether a pet has been discarded or is at risk due to breed, age or health status, we provide the medical care & rehabilitation needed prior to adoption. New Hope Animal Rescue saves the lives of dogs and cats at risk of being killed in shelters. Caring for every pet we rescue includes ensuring they are spayed or neutered before adoption. We also urge our community to join the fight against pet ov

erpopulation by having their own pets spayed or neutered and encouraging friends, family, neighbors and colleagues to do the same! We are 100% foster based, which means we do not operate a shelter. All of our rescued pets reside in volunteer foster homes until they are available for adoption. To learn more about us and view adoptable pets:

RRON IS HOME RECOVERING ๐Ÿ’™

After an incredibly stressful emergency visit and surgery yesterday, sweet Ron is finally back home recovering with his foster family.

We are so relieved this little boy made it through surgery safely. Thank you to everyone who donated, shared, checked in, and helped us get him the emergency care he needed in real time.

Last nightโ€™s emergency bill totaled $1,902. So far, we have raised $725, which means we still desperately need help covering the remaining balance.

https://givebutter.com/rons-life-saving-prolapse-surgery-1rfkwt

Right now, our rescue is also still recovering from a devastating $9,300 emergency bill from a recent spay complication โ€” all while trying to survive kitten season and continue saying yes to animals who need us most.

Ron's Fundraising Campaign for his Emergency Surgery is here:

Just under two weeks ago, sweet Ron underwent surgery for a urethral prolapse. Unfortunately, prolapses like this can be common in micro bullies like Ron and can sometimes become chronic. At this point, we do not know whether this relapse happened from licking, healing complications, or if he has a chronic condition that will need future correcting. What we do know, is that he's actively bleeding and surgical correction can't wait.

And this little dog has already been through so much.

Ron came to us with painful skin and ear infections and a gentle, deeply sensitive personality that made it clear life had not always been kind to him. Despite everything, he remains unbelievably loving and trusting. He just wants soft places to sleep, people to cuddle, and the comfort of finally feeling safe.

We are still not recovered from the devastating $9,300 emergency bill after a spay complication, and now we are facing another major emergency expense during the absolute worst time possible โ€” kitten season.

Any donation helps. Every share matters. Even small contributions make a difference right now as we work to save Ron.

Every donation made here goes directly to Ron's emergency care and surgery and any follow up care he needs.

Rockyโ€™s story started under a parked car during a storm โ€” cold, scared, and barking for help as severe weather rolled in. Thankfully, someone stopped.

Now this adorable 5 month old puppy is safe in foster care and absolutely thriving.
Rocky is smart, playful, affectionate, and FULL of personality. He loves other dogs, is already crate trained, sleeps through the night, and has been impressing everyone with how quickly he learns. He already knows โ€œsitโ€ and โ€œdown,โ€ has excellent recall for a puppy, and is obsessed with enrichment toys and games.

Heโ€™s the kind of puppy who wants to be involved in everything โ€” playing, learning, exploring, and then crashing hard for puppy naps afterward.
Rocky is looking for an active, committed home ready to continue helping him grow into the incredible dog heโ€™s becoming.

Trust us โ€” between the ears, the personality, and the puppy wiggles, heโ€™s pretty hard to resist. Adoption Event at Wakesurf Saloon

๐Ÿ’• Meet Valentine (โ€œLittle Valโ€) ๐Ÿ’•

Little Val is currently looking for a calm foster or foster-to-adopt home where she can safely undergo heartworm treatment โ€” and we know someone out there is going to fall in love with this sweet girl. ๐Ÿ’–

This affectionate, easygoing pup wants nothing more than to be close to her people. Whether sheโ€™s cuddled on the couch, following you from room to room, or relaxing nearby while you shower for the warm steam, Little Val is happiest simply being with you.

She has wonderful house manners, loves gentle attention, and has been an easy companion in foster care. She entered our rescue with pneumonia that she caught at a shelter, but thanks to lots of great vet care and TLC from her current foster, she's made a full recover. Now that sheโ€™s starting to feeling better, her playful personality has begun to shine through. But she's still the queen of the relaxed lifestyle filled with naps, cozy cuddle sessions, and slow-paced walks.

Meet Sammi at Wakesurf Saloon this Saturday from 2-4 along with other New Hope adoptable dogs๐Ÿ’›

After the heartbreaking loss of her owner, this sweet, 11 year old girl found herself displaced and in a shelter โ€” something we see far too often in rescue. Thankfully, one of our fosters stepped in, and Sammi has been reminding everyone ever since that older dogs still have so much love, joy, and life left to give.

Sammi loves being part of a family and a dog pack. She lives comfortably with dogs of all sizes, cats and and has proven herself to be the perfect little house guest.

Sammi doesnโ€™t just want a home โ€” she wants to be part of your everyday life. Whether sheโ€™s sunning herself in the yard, curled up beside her people on the couch, or piled into bed with her humans and furry foster siblings, Sammi is happiest when she feels connected, included, and loved.

She has a calm, comforting presence about her, but donโ€™t let the โ€œseniorโ€ label fool you โ€” this girl still has plenty of pep in her step, personality, and zest for life. She enjoys exploring the yard, soaking up the sunshine, and being right in the middle of whatever the family or other dogs are doing.

The rescue provided Sammi with a much-needed dental, and sheโ€™s feeling so much better and ready for her next chapter.

Sammi has already experienced loss. We would love nothing more than for the rest of her story to be filled with warmth, safety, soft blankets, and love. ๐Ÿ’›. Adoption Event at Wakesurf Saloon

โœจ Meet Ron ๐Ÿ’™and other adoptable New Hope dogs this Saturday from 2โ€“4 PM at Saloon โœจ

Male โ€ข Micro Bully โ€ข 8 months โ€ข 28 pounds

Ron is the definition of a gentle soul. This squishy little micro bully is happiest curled up in a soft blanket, snoozing beside another dog, or resting his giant block head in your lap while you work. He doesnโ€™t ask for much โ€” just a safe place, kind hands, and someone to love him.

As Ron has settled into foster care, his adorable puppy personality has really started to shine. Heโ€™s become increasingly playful, silly, and curious, while still remaining the snuggly cuddle bug everyone falls in love with. Watching his confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding.

He is happiest pressed against his people, tucked beside a canine friend, or sprawled belly-up without a care in the world. He craves closeness and reassurance, and gives that same love right back tenfold.

Ron has lived with dogs, cats, and even chickens in foster care. He can be a little nervous during first introductions with new dogs, but settles quickly once he realizes everyone is friendly.

Ron sleeps quietly in his crate, is learning routines quickly, and has already started signaling to go outside by heading to the back door. His foster describes him as incredibly eager to please and very responsive to gentle structure and positive reinforcement.

While Ron can still be sensitive to loud voices or overwhelming situations, he has made tremendous progress since entering foster care and continues to build confidence every single day.

Ron will thrive in a patient, loving home that understands sensitive dogs and will continue helping him build confidence at his own pace. In return, youโ€™ll get one of the sweetest little companions imaginable โ€” equal parts cuddle bug and goofy puppy.

Everyone who meets Ron falls a little bit in love with him โ€” and once you meet him, youโ€™ll understand why. Event at Wakesurf Saloon

If youโ€™re looking for the ultimate little sidekick, Miles may just be your guy. ๐Ÿ’› This sweet, affectionate boy loves being close to his people โ€” whether heโ€™s following you around the house, cuddling on the couch, or being carried around like a baby (yes, really!).

Miles has an easygoing, go-with-the-flow personality that makes him such a joy to have around. He gets along well with other dogs, has done great meeting dogs on leash, and currently lives with cats. He does enjoy chasing them when they run, but itโ€™s all excitement and curiosity โ€” no aggression at all.

โœ”๏ธ Crate trained
โœ”๏ธ Walks well on leash
โœ”๏ธ Low-to-medium energy
โœ”๏ธ Loves treats & affection
โœ”๏ธ Professional cuddler

Most of the time, Miles is happy lounging nearby, but every now and then he gets the zoomies and proudly races around with a toy. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Heโ€™s still working on house training, but heโ€™s making great progress with consistency and routine. More than anything, Miles is just a gentle, loving little soul looking for someone to be his best friend forever.

Big, handsome, and officially HOME ๐Ÿ–ค

Our beloved Burglar was adopted from our adoption center at in Balcones Woods!

Burglarโ€™s journey to this moment started with an incredible Good Samaritan who noticed a neighborhood stray appearing on and off near a vacant home beginning in late 2024. After the unexpected loss of their beloved dog Stevie, she and her husband began feeding the local cats as a way to heal โ€” never expecting one scruffy black cat to completely steal their hearts.

At the time, Burglar was competing for territory with another large stray tomcat named Prowler, often disappearing for weeks at a time. Then one day, Burglar came tearing into their backyard with painterโ€™s tape and debris stuck to the tip of his tail. Using canned food and a lot of patience, she was able to help free him safely โ€” and from that moment on, an unexpected friendship began.

What started as feeding a frightened stray slowly turned into months of socialization, trust-building, and love. Thanks to her dedication, Burglar transformed into the sweetest giant cuddlebug imaginable.

When she came to us asking for help finding him the perfect forever home, our volunteers instantly fell in love with this gorgeous 18-pound medium-haired house pantherโ€ฆ and thankfully, his amazing new mom did too.

Stories like Burglarโ€™s are such a powerful reminder of what patience, compassion, and kindness can do. Thank you to the Good Samaritan who gave him a chance, and congratulations to Burglar on the forever home he always deserved ๐Ÿพ PetSmart Charities
