About Newt

Meet Newt! This spirited Beagle mix has quite the story. Newt journeyed all the way from Mexico, where her life began under less than ideal circumstances in a hoarding situation. After spending about four months in foster care there, she has learned to appreciate the simple things in life, like a warm patch of grass to sit on while observing the world. Though Newt initially can be a bit shy with new people, she quickly warms up with the right encouragement. Once comfortable, this sweet girl transforms into a cuddly companion, eagerly seeking out affection and giving full-on zoomies to show her excitement. She's also become quite the pro on a leash, showing a confidence that reflects her journey and resilience. Newt enjoys the company of other dogs; she thrived in her foster home with various pups and prefers calmer companions. While she hasn't been tested with cats, her history suggests she could adapt. She has the potential to live happily in a home with older children who understand her need for a little space to get comfortable. As she settles into her new environment, Newt will need some time to adjust to her routine, but her experience with housebreaking and crate training makes her a great candidate for a loving home. She's ready for her next adventure — finding her forever family. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
