Helloooooooo, I'm Joey, Joelyn, Lil girl Joey, a 3 month old 8 pound Mini Australian Shepard! I'm a happy, spunky, fun-loving puppy. I love to romp around and play. I came here with my mama, you can see her on the website too! Her name is Lili Belle. Just in case you're wondering where I got my good looks. Somehow I'm much smaller than her though and I was born with cataracts in my eyes. But that doesn't stop me. No sir! I'm friendly and brave. I'll meet any new person or dog that comes my way with a wagging tail. Everyone says they like watching me run in the play yard because it's just "pure joy". I'm not sure what that means yet but maybe I'll understand when I'm older. It would probably be best if you had another dog in the house, because I'm still young, and they can help teach me how to be a big girl and grow to be independent. I really enjoy cuddling up to my mom, but I know she needs to find her own home too; I'm looking forward to starting my own path. I'd be happy to meet you, play, and make you smile. I'm pretty good at it. What's not to be happy about? Life can be so great! 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.
