Throughout the year, our community has been incredibly generous, sending wishlist items and donations that make a huge difference. This year, weâre asking for help with something specificâa new bathing tub!
Every puppy that comes into our care gets the full works: a thorough exam, a warm meal, and a much-needed bath to wash away the past and start fresh before heading to their foster home. Our trusty washing sink has served us well through countless puppy baths, mopped floors, and scrubbed dishes, but itâs officially on its last legâliterally.
Weâre hoping to raise enough funds for a brand-new stainless steel sink that can handle the demands of our growing rescue. Itâs more than just a tubâitâs a first step in showing our puppies the love and care they deserve.
Every donation, no matter the size, makes a big difference. Letâs give these puppies the clean start they deserve.
Donate today- LINK IN BIO-and help us make it happen! Thank you for being part of the New England Puppy Rescue family.
When Hurricane Helene struck Asheville, it didnât just bring physical damage; it left the community without essentials, like clean water. Asheville Humane Society, a key pillar in local welfare, has been hit hard. Despite facing power and water outages, their team quickly mobilized to ensure the safety of 200+ animals. With help from Bissell and nearby shelters, nearly all animals were relocated, showcasing the power of the animal welfare community. It was an honor to meet with some of their team in hopes to help raise some funds needed.
Amidst the crisis, Asheville Humane has been a beacon of resilience, distributing supplies for people and pets alike. This organization is more than a shelter: it provides adoption services, enrichment programs, behavior support, regional animal control, and affordable spay/neuter services. Laresa, the fundraising director explains, âItâs not the pound of yesterday.â Asheville Humane has empowered the community to get involved and help their mission and since, intakes have dropped significantly.
Every animal at Asheville Humane receives four daily enrichment sessions, ranging from engaging toys and play areas to training sessions with the behavior team. Programs like âHiking Houndsâ allow volunteers to take dogs on scenic hikes, offering exercise, socialization, and exposure to real-world environments. Even local runners take dogs on their jogs â because everythingâs better with a dog by your side!
In addition, cats enjoy interactive playrooms, and their âworking catâ program places less-social cats in roles on farms or businesses where theyâre loved and cared for.
They also run a low-cost spay/neuter clinic and low-cost vaccine clinics to ensure the communityâs pets receive essential care.
Thanks to Asheville Humaneâs dedicated care, the average stay for an animal at their facility is just 20 days.
But theyâre still trucking in water and operating on a limited basis. Asheville needs our help to
Sweet Sal has been waiting for a forever home that will love him just as he is!
He came to us after Hurricane Helene, and we knew he and his litter needed to reach safety. Though Sal may look like a mini pit bull, we were told heâs a unique blend of Jack Russell, Boston Terrier, and Beagle! This adorable pup loves snuggles, all the toys, and spending time with you. Heâs fantastic with other dogs and would thrive with a furry sibling to learn from. Salâs a special boy with a huge heart, ready for a family who will understand his learning style. Letâs help this deserving boy find where he belongs!

Our pups are famous!

This is such a powerful message from one of our very own foster homes.
Our foster homes are incredibly valuable to us, both for the exposure they provide and the love they generously share with our puppies. Whatâs truly beautiful is that in this process, you also grow as a dog owner. You get to witness your dogs impart their wisdom to the puppies, and if youâre doing it right, youâre learning along the way.
At the end of the day, itâs worth trying, but weâll guide you through the necessary steps to ensure everyoneâs safety. You shouldnât simply introduce puppies to a dog without knowing how theyâll react, but there are various strategies, such as gradual introductions, decompression periods etc that can be helpful. The message remains valid: you might be pleasantly surprised by the outcome.

Stories like Opalâs is our why!! Found abandoned with her littermates in Mississippi, Opal arrived at a shelter with an untreated eye injury. While her equally adorable siblings found their rescuers, Opal remained overlooked.Could we help her? The answer was an immediate yes!After undergoing surgery to remove her injured eye, Opal was finally free from pain. Despite her neglect, she retained her innate goofiness and boundless happiness, eagerly awaiting a family to cherish her for who she was.And her fairy tale ending came shortly after. Opal quickly captured the heart of one of our own team members, who welcomed her into their home with open arms. Now, Opal spends her days as a cherished shop dog at @Dogology, charming clients and spreading the message of rescue to all who cross her path.#OpalsJourney #RescueDog #adoptdontshop #dogrescue #SecondChances #OneEyedDog #ShopDog #Puppy #NewLeashOnLife #RescueStories #dogsandpals #puppyreels #PuppyLove #greatpyreenes #Instagood #adopt #foster #volunteer #saveallthepuppies
We had a bit of a scare last night with one of our newest arrivals, Porkchop. Following a somewhat rough transition after travel, our latest group seemed disinterested in food yesterday. All our foster homes remain vigilant for any signs of abnormality among our puppies, and after two episodes of vomiting, we knew further investigation was necessary.Our exceptional veterinarian conducted a late-night examination for us at our facility, and thankfully, we're equipped with all the necessary testing materials and medications to treat our pups on-site under veterinary care. After an anxious 8 minutes of waiting for results... his Parvo test came back NEGATIVE. For those in rescue, you understand the wave of relief we felt.After an anti-nausea injection and a negative stool sample for worms and parasites, which we conducted upon arrival, we concluded that he simply required a little extra TLC. It's through diligent processes like this that we ensure the safety and well-being of all the babies under our care. This is why we advocate for keeping our pups in foster homes before placing them in forever homes. No off-the-truck rushed adoptions hereâthere's just TOO much risk involved for new homes that way. We firmly believe that by creating the best experience for both our puppies AND our adopters, we uphold the standards of reputable rescue, enabling us and other reputable rescues to save more lives.Thank you all for joining us on this wild journey called rescue!#RescueStories #AdoptDontShop #PuppyLove #VeterinaryCare #CoyotePup #CattleDogPuppy #CattleDogMix #Puppies #Puppy #connecticut #dontshopadopt #dogsofinstagram #PuppyRescue #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #AdoptMe #adopt #foster #volunteer #RescueMe #PuppyReels #saveallthepuppies
