Prince, Labrador Retriever For Adoption In Bedford Hills, New York

Location:

Bedford Hills, NY

Description:

Hey paw-some people! My name is Prince and I am a 1.5-2 year old Lab mix looking for a forever home. I am a little nervous about writing this because I am worried that I might be overlooked. I have heard that there is a stigma that comes along with being a Pitbull and it makes me so sad to think that people would judge me based on my breed and appearance. I really hope you will give me a chance and continue reading about who I am and what I have been through. Before I was rescued, I went through a really tough time. My sister and I were nearly starved to death, our skin was in terrible condition, and our nails were so overgrown because nobody ever trimmed them and it caused a lot of pain. Since then, things have been looking up for me and I am on the road to recovery. I have gained a lot of weight, going from 24 pounds to 44 pounds, and I am continuing to gain more. I am doing much better on all accounts, and I am so grateful for the care and attention that I am receiving. I know it might be hard to believe, but even after everything that has happened to me, I still trust and love humans. In fact, I really enjoy meeting new people and giving them loads of kisses to show them how excited I am to make new friends. I’m just a happy boy who is thrilled to have a new chance at life. All I want is to find a forever family who will love me unconditionally. Please give me the opportunity to prove to you that I am more than just a breed or a stereotype, but a loyal and loving companion who will bring joy and happiness into your life. Thank you for letting me share my story with you! Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from A New Chance Animal Rescue (https://anewchancear.org). We are a 501c3, tax deductible organization. ANCAR is a foster-based rescue, and we adopt within a 90 mile radius of Bedford Hills, NY. You will find the adoption application here: (https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-application/). All fields on the application must be completed. Please read about the adoption process (https://www.anewchancear.org/adopt/our-adoption-process/) so you'll know what to expect when you submit. Our dogs are in foster care and we do NOT have a shelter or boarding facility. AN APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL AND APPROVED BEFORE A DOG CAN BE MET. This is a firm policy. Our busy volunteers are not able to respond to questions about the dog or dog meeting requests in the absence of an application. We know these dogs very well because they are in foster care. Please read the profiles of the dog(s) you are interested in prior to submitting an application. If there are specific requirements stated (ie: Fenced Yard or Canine Friend Required) these are included because they are vital to the happiness, health, safety and adoption success of that dog. We are only able to save as many dogs as we have foster homes (https://www.anewchancear.org/foster/faqs/) and resources for. We provide medical care including vaccinations, testing, deworming, spaying/neutering and microchipping before transporting our dogs. We provide all supplies, preventatives and any follow up vet care necessary while they are in foster care. These costs are high and the number of lives we can save is entirely dependent upon donations from people like you. We do not receive funding from private foundations or government sources. If you can find room in your heart to help us, with any amount, we are truly grateful (https://www.anewchancear.org/help/donate/). We are a 501c3 organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. It is only through the kindness of supporters like you that we are 'changing lives...one tail at a time' by providing our dogs with 'A New Chance.' (https://anewchancear.org) Thanks so much.Adoption process» The first step in the adoption process is to be sure that every member in your household is ready to have a dog sharing your life and home with you. Having a dog affects every member of the household and all of you need to agree that this is the right time to adopt. We do not "hold" dogs so only complete the application if you are ready to adopt immediately. » Think about what type of dog you'd like and what type of home environment you have. Consider how active your home is, how noisy or quiet, how often you're actually home, whether the dog would accompany you places, etc. For example, a very happy and bustling house is probably not the best situation for an extremely shy or easily scared dog, nor is a low exercise, quiet home appropriate for an active dog. » Look through our website at the dogs, paying particular attention to the descriptions that are posted. A cute dog with the wrong personality for your family never makes a happy situation for anyone. If none of the dogs seem like a good fit then wait until you find the one that is. » Once you have found the dog(s) that you are interested in adopting, fill out the application. Please be sure to fill out every question on the application. Each question is seeking important information that will help us in determining if the dog is a good match for you. An incomplete application will not be processed. » After submitting a completed application, if you do not hear from us within a week, please resubmit you application because it may not have gone through. Applications are usually processed in three to ten days, depending upon how long it takes to reach your references. » Once your application has been pre-approved you will be contacted to set up a home visit. » If the home visit was approved, your contact information is passed on to the foster family of the dog you are interested in and they will contact you to discuss the dog more specifically. If you both agree that s/he sounds like a good match a meeting will be set up. » Everyone in your home, pets and people, must meet the dog. » If all agree that it's a good match the adoption can take place immediately. You will fill out the Adoption Agreement, include the donation indicated, and add a wonderful new member to your family. If it does not seem like a good match, we will work with you to find a dog that fits into your household well. If you have any questions about adopting from A New Chance Animal Rescue or about a dog, please email adoption@anewchancear.orgShelter locationWe are a foster-based rescue and do NOT have a shelter or boarding facility. AN APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL AND APPROVED BEFORE A DOG CAN BE MET. Please do not contact us requesting a meeting with a dog because we are an all-volunteer organization, and these requests tie up our volunteers who could instead be checking applications. Sometimes we hold Meet & Greet events with our dogs on the weekends. If we have an upcoming event, the information can be found on our website: www.anewchancear.org.
