A New Chance Animal Rescue News

A huge thank you to Lizzie, Charlotte, & Katherine for raising awareness, funds and supplies! They are 8th grade students in CT who focused their service project for school on ANCAR, and as part of it they set up a fundraising table at the Ridgefield Pet Valu. They are all dedicated dog lovers, and Lizzie and her family are fostering sweet Luka.

Please help us save lives by fostering a rescue dog in need.  Every foster home we find allows us to save another dog.  You provide a safe and caring environment, we provide all supplies and cover all costs.  https://anewchancear.org/foster/fostering-application/

We’d like to extend a **HUGE** thank you to Adam Nack for collecting supplies for us at his Bar Mitzvah celebration!!  On top of this amazing display of generosity, Adam and his family are ANCAR adopters and, best of all, a wonderful foster family. Adam, we are so proud to have a young man of your character among the ranks of our junior volunteers!

Thank you Wags & Whiskers from Pebbles.   I feel lighter and cleaner and have recently been adopted!   Thank you so much for all you do for A New Chance dogs.

We are desperately in need of foster homes for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. With some of our regular foster homes on vacation, we are already working at a deficit. By taking in a foster dog, you save 2 lives: the dog you take in and the dog you make space for. We cover all costs and provide you with all the supplies you need; all you give is a home and lots of love! We even have a trainer who works with our foster homes. Why not open your heart and home to a foster dog?!

Please fill out an application to foster today!

We’d like to extend a very special THANK YOU to Peter K. for raising $493.06 for A New Chance, by asking all of his family and friends to contribute to a fund in his honor instead of purchasing him birthday gifts this year!  Peter is also the proud owner of an ANCAR pup, Quincy, adopted in February!  Thank you so much Peter; with this donation, we are able to help partially pay for the surgery Quincy’s brother had to fix his intestinal intussusception.

A very special thank you to Wipe Your Paws in Bedford Hills for giving Elsa a wonderful bath free of charge. Now we can all admire Elsa’s gorgeous golden brown/black coloring.

With a $30 donation or more, you can get one of our amazing 2016 calendars! Each calendar features different photos of some of our gorgeous rescue dogs. Who wouldn’t want to look at these precious faces hanging on the wall every day?!

Please visit our donation page and make a donation via PayPal. We have two calendars available – version one and version two. Please specific which calendar version you would like in the note. Make sure to include your address as well. Thank you and happy holidays!

Gernine Tuckner wears many hats at ANCAR. She is an amazing Board Member, a dynamic volunteer, a generous donor, and a nurturing foster mother. In 2015, Gernine has fostered over 20 dogs. She often takes puppies in together and works very hard to prepare them properly for their forever homes. Gernine is always welcoming and educating new volunteers and foster homes, and she makes a point to really teach each of her adopters about the responsibility of owning a dog before they consider adopting. She is passionate about the work ANCAR does and referred some friends to ANCAR to donate, foster, and adopt. Gernine is a beacon of hope for the dogs that she opens her home to who would have lost their lives without her generosity. From all of the dogs you have helped save, THANK YOU Gernine for championing for them.

Check out the newest issue of Bedford Magazine to see Kingston on the cover and some of our amazing adoptable dogs inside! October’s issue featured an article entitled “Sheltered” about animal rescue efforts in our community. Thank you Jim Dratfield’s Petography and Jamie Kilgore Photography who donated their time to take these great pictures of our adoptable dogs.

Thank You to Northern Westchester Hospital for including us in their gala benefit this year at Old Salem Farm! This year’s theme was Patient Centered Care and we were proud to represent the therapeutic and health benefits that dogs provide to humans. We met some amazing and caring animal lovers and our dog ambassadors, Reeses and Kingston, were on hand to give dog cuddles and kisses. Northern Westchester Hospital even baked us these jumbo dog biscuits to hand out to guests as they left.

Thank you so much for inviting A New Chance to your annual event, Northern Westchester Hospital, and for giving us such a wonderful showcase to introduce people to our work.
