A New Beginning Animal Rescue

A New Beginning Animal Rescue Welcome to A New Beginning Animal Rescue (ANBAR)! We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit Utah-based organization dedicated to saving the lives of 🐈 and πŸ•.

www.anbarrescue.org Rescue β™‘ Foster β™‘ Adopt A New Beginning Animal Rescue (ANBAR) is a foster-based rescue focused on providing cats and dogs loving temporary homes while awaiting their forever homes. ANBAR primarily focuses in the Weber/Davis County region, but we also accept transfers from throughout northern Utah and surrounding states. Our goal is to reduce unnecessary euthana

sia rates and improve animal welfare through community building and public education on the mutual benefits of spay/neutering your animals and responsible pet ownership. Through our generous donors and amazing fosters, ANBAR is able to rescue severe medical cases and provide the assistance necessary for their survival. We believe that euthanasia should only be used as a humane last resort, to prevent further animal suffering. ANBAR’s ultimate mission is to give every rescue a new beginning.

Meet Peaches! πŸ‘ This little orange sweetheart is about a year old and full of love!

Peaches is a rare gem β€” not just because female orange cats are uncommon, but because her personality shines just as bright as her fur.

She’s a petite girl who loves to be around her people and is happiest curled up in your lap for a good cuddle.

Peaches came from a home with lots of other cats, so she’s wonderfully social and would love to have a feline friend in her new home.

Not only is she great with other cats, but she's good with dogs and she loves kids!

When she’s not soaking up attention, she enjoys a good play session β€” and don’t forget the Temptations treats (her favorite)!

Peaches is spayed, microchipped, dewormed, vaccinated, and litter box trained β€” all ready to start her next chapter. If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly, and social kitty to brighten your days, Peaches is your girl!

Will you swing by Petco in Layton during business hours πŸ•™ to say hi to us? We are in the cat cubby habitat! 😻😽

βœ”οΈ out our quick 🎬 clip in the comments below!

Who knows, maybe we will all fall in love ❀️ and you'll take one of us home - even better both! 🏑 We'd get along great with each other. Or any other 🐈 for that matter! Hope to see you soon!!!

Hi, my name is Penelope! πŸ’•

My "family" moved away and left me behind, without so much as looking back. I was left all alone to fend for myself.πŸ’”

I'm a sweet, social girl who loves people and isn’t shy about letting you know it! 😹 I'm chatty, affectionate, and always ready for attention. Whether you’re talking, working, or relaxing, I’ll be right there to keep you company and add my own commentary. πŸ˜½πŸ’•

I enjoy the company of other cats 🐈 πŸˆβ€β¬›οΈ and would thrive in a home with a feline friend. I'm also comfortable around respectful dogs 🐢 and older kids πŸ‘¦ πŸ‘§ who know how to treat a lady right.

Don’t let my small number of teeth 🦷 fool youβ€”because I eat hard food like a champ (though I won’t turn down some tasty wet food). 🍲 Oh, the challenges of street life! πŸ™€

I'm playful, curious, and I have SO much love to give. β€οΈπŸ’•β€οΈπŸ’•

I just turned 7-years- old. Please, give me a chance. You still be so happy you did and I know we will make the best family! πŸ«‚ 😺

πŸ’‰ I'm already dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed... ready to find my forever homeβ€”maybe it’s yours? 🏑 ❀️

😺 I'm Winston! 😺
Sweet? βœ”οΈ Friendly? βœ”οΈ Professional head-butt giver? βœ”οΈβœ”οΈ

I am the definition of a beginner-friendly cat!!! ❣️ Easygoing, social & always ready to make a new friend. πŸ’• I adore pets & will happily lean in with one of my signature head butts to show love.

I'm also playful & love to have fun, whether it’s chasing a toy or just being silly with my people.🧢πŸͺΆ I just turned one in June!

I'm also quite the talker, with the cutest little coos & a full vocabulary of meows to keep you entertained. 😹

Now, about belly rubs… I'd like to clarify: absolutely not. 😾 That’s a hard pass from me, thank you very much. But don’t worryβ€”I more than make up for it with snuggles, conversation, playtime & my charming personality. πŸΎπŸ’™

I am great with other cats, would do well with respectful dogs, and I’d be wonderful with children who are ready to love a very social, very good boy. 🐈 πŸ• πŸ‘¦ πŸ‘§

I'm πŸ’‰ neutered, dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped & litter box trainedβ€”ready to walk right into your home and heart. 🏑 ❀️

Adopt me today & get unlimited head butts, daily coos, and a forever friend who’s as sweet as they come. πŸ’•

They affectionately call me "Dexter the Dick." πŸ˜ΌπŸ’•So what if I get carried away when I knead my human? I mean, yeah, I get excited & when I'm licking your face I sneak in a little love nibble. ❣️ It doesn't hurt, I'm just trying to demonstrate that I love you EXTRA! 😹

I'm a sturdy 3yr old & the docs definitely say in the top πŸ’― on the growth chart! I've always been huge... my 🐾 & my attitude! I'm a gentle giant though! I'm not at all mean (though I don't like Elliott, one of the fosters but only because she's a cry-cat & tells mom on me for just looking at her wrong)! πŸ™€ I like ALL the other 🐈 & I even like our Golden Retriever because none of them are Scaredy-Cats!!! I do really great with all kids & humans! ❣️

I'm a super chill, relaxed kinda guy who enjoys lounging around & really, just letting people experience my majesty. πŸˆβ€β¬›οΈ You want to cuddle? Sure! I'm down for that. Especially at night... πŸŒ™πŸ˜΄everyone knows "my spot" is at the top of the bed with my humans!

Litter πŸ“¦ trained, πŸ’‰dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped & neutered... βœ”οΈ βœ…οΈ and β˜‘οΈ I'm an exceptionally handsome, very good boy who just wants a family to call my own! πŸ’™

Be prepared. My foster momma is picky & wants to make sure I go to the right 🏑 because she never wants to worry that I'll be rehomed.

So many people want a πŸˆβ€β¬›οΈ that looks like me but that's not important to her! She knows I'm just a behemoth with a big ❀️ who is eager to share it with my new family!

Quick, fill out this app to adopt me!

I'm everything you want in a new family member - playful, snuggly & unique! 😻 Hi, I'm Cozette & I just turned two!

People often comment on how cute I am... I know, I'm darling! 😹 But, more importantly, I've got the most PAWSome PURRsonality!!!

I LOVE all my foster fur-ends πŸˆπŸ• you name it, I ❀️ them! Of course, they are all really nice to me, so it's easy to love them!

I want a family who has other 🐈 for sure! Unless, even better... you decide to adopt one of my foster siblings - 🩷🩡 😺 my sister Elliott is my fave! That would be AMAZING!!!

Little toy springs & mice, laser pointers, balls of 🧢, empty πŸ“¦, cat nip, temptation treats & sunbathing in the πŸͺŸ are some of my best hobbies! Those little springs though, I will play with them for hours! My foster momma found a stash under the grandfather ⏰️ & it was likeπŸŽ„ all over again!

I hope you don't mind sharing your πŸ›Œ at πŸŒ™. I like to cuddle & sleep next to my humans! I also enjoy watching πŸ“Ί with my people!

Don't be surprised if my foster momma interrogates you, much like a parent would to a kid trying to date their daughter.πŸ§β€β™‚οΈπŸ’ They have become quite attached & I don't blame them, do you? After all, I am pretty special!

Oh, I nearly forgot, πŸ’‰ I've already been dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped & spayed so... all I need is a family to choose me every day for the rest of my life!

πŸ˜»πŸ’• We just live in Ogden of you want to come and meet me! Comment here or fill out this app to adopt me!

Our Story

A New Beginning Animal Rescue (ANBAR) is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) non-profit Utah-based organization. Our goal is to thoughtfully reduce unnecessary euthanasia rates; improve Weber and Davis Counties’ animal welfare with compassion and respect through community building and public education on the mutual benefits of responsible pet parenting; and enhance the quality of life of companion animals in need of a new beginning and a forever home. We strive to ensure that each and every animal rescued by ANBAR is cared for; treated with compassion, respect, and dignity. While we are located in the Roy-Layton-Ogden, UT area, we also partner with local and regional groups and accept transfer rescues from throughout northern Utah and the surrounding states. ANBAR does not turn away any companion animals but welcomes them regardless of their condition and do not place a time limit on their stay with us. We believe that euthanasia should be used only as a humane last resort, to prevent further animal suffering – such as when an animal is terminally ill, critically injured, or dying. ANBAR embraces a multi-prong strategic service approach to contribute to reach our goal of reducing the number of adoptable animals euthanized each year. Our services include: *Rehoming and Adoption opportunities and events for ANBAR companion animals *Spay/neuter of ANBAR animals, to effectively reduce the problems of pet overpopulation *Veterinary care for ANBAR animals *Volunteer foster care program to provide housing for rescued or surrendered companion animals, until a qualified forever home is found *Volunteer foster care for special needs animals *Volunteer public education and training programs Rehome and Adoption Opportunities and Events: ANBAR is gratified to have a long-standing special partnership with Petco in holding adoption events every Saturday - without exception - at the Petco store in Layton, UT, since our inception in 2008. Additionally, up to 3 kittens and young cats are displayed at the Petco store for adoption, and rotated weekly to increase visibility and opportunity. Nearly 5,000 companion animals (kittens, cats, puppies, and dogs – and rabbits) have found homes through our adoption events as a result of this joint endeavor.
