New Leash on Life Dog Rescue

09/01/2025

Bean is just a little guy (about 14 lbs) who is just learning the ropes of being a dog. He is about 10 months old and is a pretty timid guy, but has definitely been coming out of his shell and settling into his foster home. He is scared of loud noises and sudden movements and will retreat to his crate when scared. However, he has been seeming less nervous every day. The other dogs in his foster home have helped A LOT in helping Bean realize that people and certain situations aren't scary. He loves playing with other dogs and cat but will also toss toys around himself. He does play kind of rough and rambunctiously, so his foster family has been trying to teach boundaries and he is very easy to divert with toys. He has been catching on to routines very quickly and runs into his crate at feeding time. He also sleeps quietly through the night in his crate, but also does love cuddling up on the couch or during nap time on the bed. He has been loving time outside exploring. He is doing pretty well with potty training. Only a few accidents inside, but those were his foster family learning his "potty signals". Overall a very sweet boy who loves to play and run around the yard with his doggo friends 🙂

He would do best in a home with older children or no children and with another dog. He would probably also do okay in a home without other dogs but with a cat who tolerated playing with him. His family will need to have patience with him and allow him time to learn to trust. He would benefit from obedience classes where he would learn confidence and also get more socialization.

His $200 adoption fee includes his neuter, rabies and distemper vaccines, heartworm test and microchip. If you are interested, please go to our website and fill out an application.

This big sweet guy is waiting patiently for his furever family to find him. He’s been through a lot of change and would love nothing more than to just be home 💙

Clover is settling in and doing great at his foster home but he is more than ready to find his furever home 💙.

Clover is a 6 year old shepherd mix who’s a big boy weighing in at 94lbs. His previous owner was forced to give him up after being no longer able to care for him. Despite this huge change he adapted well to life at his foster home.

This gentle giant loves humans of all sizes but especially children 🥰. He has been used to being the only dog but has done fine in with his 4 legged foster sibling, although he isn’t much for playing. Clover has also done well around cats although sometimes he can seem a bit stressed around them.

His favorite thing to do is to play fetch. He would do this for hours if he was allowed! He does kennel fairly well but prefers not to have the door closed. Clover also does well roaming the house. He is fully potty trained and will let you know if he has to go outside.

Clover has a lot of love to give and is at the perfect age to do just that 💙

If you’re interested in adopting Clover, and are Pre-approved, please private message us, or APPLY HERE: https://newleashdogrescue.com (or private message us if you’re already preapproved!)

**Clover’s $200 adoption fee includes UTD vaccinations, heartworm test, current vet check, and microchip.

PUPPY FOSTERS NEEDED!

We have been asked to help with this litter of 10—yes 10—puppies. Mama is a great pyrenees and dad is a mixed breed. Photo of parents in the comments below. These pups are 12 weeks old and are local Wisconsin dogs. We do not have a shelter, so cannot take them unless we have committed homes for them to go to.

If you have an approved application on file and can take one puppy home, please PM us. If you are interested in fostering or adopting, please PM us but also go to our website and fill out an application. www.newleashdogrescue.com.

We simply can’t believe Badger is still available for adoption! Updated pictures and bio coming soon 💙

Badger, another of the “B” boys, is ready to find his furever home! Badger is brother to Bambam, Banks, and Balto (coming soon!). He’s roughly 3 months old and about 15 lbs. He is thought to be a border collie mix but we know one thing for sure…… HE’S ADORABLE 😍

Badger was a little timid at first since it was his first time away from his brothers but warmed up after a few days and is loving life! He absolutely loves dogs so, although not required, it may be best for him to live with another dog. Some of his favorite things to do are wrestle, go for walks (he does need some work on the leash), play with a ball or stick and chew on antlers, benebones and raw bones. He is soooo sweet. 🥹 Cuddling isn't his thing yet but he loves taking a snooze by his human or fellow pack members. He does very well with the resident cats. They put him in his place if he gets a bit too nosey.

Badger is working hard on potty training but he still needs work in this department. Intelligence is his strong suit so training of any sort should be easy for him. 🥰

If you’re interested in adopting Badger, and are Pre-approved, please private message us, or APPLY HERE: https://newleashdogrescue.com (or private message us if you’re already preapproved!)

**Badger’s $250 adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccines to date, current vet check, and microchip.
