New Hope Animal Rescue

Giving at-risk dogs & cats a second chance at life. ❤️ Adopt, foster, donate or volunteer—be part of their happily ever after! 🐾

New Hope Animal Rescue saves the lives of dogs and cats at risk of being killed 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. 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 overpopulation 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.

MESS WITH THE LONG LEGS, GET THE... TONGUE?

Lady Long Legs was already in charge. Now she finally has a shirt with her official title: SECURITY.

Even 86-pound Cowboy sees her coming and suddenly remembers an urgent appointment in another room. He respects tiny bosses.

Lady Long Legs is paralyzed in her back legs, but those front legs put in WORK along with her strong determination. She actually gets some lift off the ground in her rear as she powers herself around, and she has absolutely no interest in letting a drag bag slow down her patrol. Places to go. Big dogs to supervise. Rules to enforce that she made up five seconds ago.

This tiny boss is looking for a permanent position in your home. ❤️

Her adopter will need to help express her bladder throughout the day. It’s easy and she cooperates like a pro! And will kiss you to thank you for helping her.

And she’s conveniently travel-size! If your workplace welcomes dogs, this little supervisor could clock in right alongside you and sleep calmly in a dog bed. She would, of course, expect immediate promotion to Head of Security.

Lady Long Legs has legs, and she knows how to use them—even the ones in the back that don’t work! We don’t question the boss.

Available for adoption through New Hope Animal Rescue. Tiny uniform. Walks like a boss, fearless and capable. She's accepting applications for staff… we mean family. ❤️

HOPPER’S FOSTER FAMILY IS NOW HIS FOREVER FAMILY! ❤️🐾

Today at PetSmart Lakeline during PetSmart Charities National Adoption Week, Hopper’s foster parents officially became his adoptive parents. Our fluffy boy was already home—today just made it official. 🥹 And his official name is now Quincy!

You may remember Hopper and his sister, Eleven. These two puppies were abandoned together in a neighborhood where no one recognized them. They were just babies facing an uncertain future when they were brought into a shelter—and we happened to be standing in the lobby. We made a last-second decision to bring them back to Austin with us to keep them safe.

Eleven has already found her adoptive family, and the people who opened their home to foster Hopper decided he belonged there for good. ❤️

They got to know the puppy behind that adorable face—his personality, his needs, and all the things that make him Hopper—and chose to keep loving him for a lifetime.

We can’t change how their story started, but knowing both puppies now have families of their own means everything.

Thank you to their fosters and everyone who helped these two along the way. A special thank-you to Hopper’s parents for giving him a safe place to land and then making it his permanent home. And thank you to PetSmart Lakeline for helping us celebrate!

Happy adoption day, Hopper. You can keep your favorite spot on the couch. 🐾❤️

Kip is giving Loni a little kiss of encouragement. ❤️ He has finished his heartworm treatment, and little Loni is just beginning hers.

Our handsome brindle boy Kip knows how to make his own fun. He’ll toss his toys around and happily entertain himself, then settle in for snuggles when he’s done. He also adjusts his play style to his dog friends—because a good buddy knows when to turn up the fun and when to just hang out. Apparently, he’s adding “personal pep talks” to his list of talents. 🥹 Kip is ready for adoption and looking for his forever family!

Loni is about 3 years old and just 14 pounds of affectionate pug sweetness. She’s house trained, loves kids, and has clearly already made a friend in Kip. Loni is available for pre-adoption or foster-to-adopt as she goes through her heartworm treatment.

One boy celebrating a milestone. One little girl getting started. Please join Kip in cheering Loni on and help both these sweet pups find their forever homes.

Wh***ey’s DNA results are in, and the 2% Shih Tzu has some explaining to do.

Behind that big head and very interesting family tree is a sweet boy waiting for someone to say, “That’s my dog.”

Wh***ey is about 2 years old and 82 pounds of handsome. He LOVES car rides, especially Saturday pup-cup trips with his foster mom. If your weekend plans could use a big gray sidekick and a stop for a little treat, Wh***ey would love to be included.

We’ve been calling him a Cane Corso/pit mix, and we were on the right track! His biggest DNA results are:

30% American Pit Bull Terrier

20% American Staffordshire Terrier

16% Cane Corso (American)

10% Boxer

There’s also American Bulldog, Rottweiler, several mastiff breeds, a little Bulldog and Boston Terrier—and that unexpected splash of Shih Tzu.

Quite a few relatives contributed to that face.

Wh***ey came into rescue after being hit on the side of the road. He has since healed, is fully vetted, and has been enjoying life with his foster family and their multiple dogs. He does need a cat-free home because he’s much too interested in the kitties.

We’d love to find him a family who appreciates a big, strong dog and will give him kind guidance, time together, and plenty of opportunities to join in everyday life. We’ll help arrange introductions to any resident dogs.

His foster mom has helped him heal and given him those happy Saturday outings. Now we’re hoping someone will look at this sweet face and imagine all the Saturdays they could share.

Wh***ey has quite the family tree. Now he needs a family of his own.
