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 Woody!
Special Skills: Flopping dramatically, biscuit-making enthusiast, professional attention-seeker.

Woody is a gentle, goofy, heart-melting Siamese boy who simply adores being loved.

His signature move is a full belly flopβ€”right at your feetβ€”just to let you know it’s time for pets. And if you dare hesitate? Woody will reach out with a soft paw tap to remind you that affection is, in fact, mandatory.

Biscuit-making is his passion (some might even call it his craft). Whether he’s cozy on a blanket or nestled beside you, this sweet boy kneads away with total dedication and a happy little purr.

Woody started life as a community cat with a devoted caretaker who, sadly, had to move away. Despite that, he has never lost his warm, social nature.

He LOVES other cats, is wonderful with dogs, and is gentle and patient with kids. He’s the kind of cat who makes every room feel softer and every moment feel sweeter.

If you’re looking for a cuddly, playful, affectionate companion who will greet you with big eyes and an even bigger heart,

Woody is ready to melt right into your life. Woody can’t wait to find his forever homeβ€”could it be with you? πŸΎπŸ’™

If a πŸ“Έ is worth 1000 words, then be sure to go to the comments so you can πŸ‘€ the priceless πŸ“Ή of this adorable girl!!!

Meet Sidni! 🩷 This sweet 7-year-old girl LOVES people!

Within an hour of meeting her foster family, she fell asleep with her head in her foster’s hand. πŸ’€ This means she will likely acclimate pretty quickly to any family that shows her love! 😻

Sidni hasn’t been crazy for being picked up 😼 (in the short time she's been with us - about a week), but she is a big fan of a cozy lap or blanket β€œleg tent!” πŸ’ž Give her a soft space to cuddle up and she’ll melt for you. 😽

😸 🐟 She loves treats and the sound of churu, temptations, or catnip will have her running and eating out of your hand (literally!)

⚠️ Sidni has not had any interaction with other animals in our home, but she adores our teenager πŸ§’πŸ’β€β™€οΈ sitting and reading with her. Chances are she will acclimate though because she's such an easy-going gal! ❣️ Just be sure to do slow intros.

She’s great with her litter box πŸ“¦ and has purrfect manners!!! She's already been πŸ’‰ dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped and spayed so she just needs a family!!! πŸ«‚πŸˆβ€β¬›οΈπŸ’“

Meet Jayda πŸ’• At 16Β½ years young, Jayda is a beautiful old soul with a lot of love β€” and stories β€” to share. 😽 This lovely lady adores chatting with her people and will happily tell you all about her day.

Jayda enjoys gentle pets, cozy lounging, and quiet company. Her favorite time to cuddle is at night, when she’ll climb into bed to snuggle close and keep you company. πŸ’€ She’s also known to roll over and show off her belly for extra affection β€” a sure sign of her trust and sweetness. ❣️

Jayda is looking for a calm, loving home where she can spend her golden years being cherished and adored. 😻

If you have a soft spot for senior cats and a quiet space to share, Jayda would love to fill it with purrs and conversation. πŸ’—πŸΎ

Meowlo! 🐾 I'm Gibson & I just turned 5 yrs old! This is pawrific news for you because that means I'm still playful but can't be bothered with kitten antics anymore... 😺you know, looking for trouble!

Instead, I'd much rather sprawl myself across my humans lap & watch TV πŸ“Ί while getting a back massage! Some say that black cats are the friendliest & cuddliest of all! 😻 In my case, that's definitely the truth! ❣️

I am such a good, well-mannered boy and have never had an accident. I am already dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped & neutered. πŸ’‰ See, the Rescue did all the hard work for you so now, you can just take me home to cuddle! πŸ’€

I get along great with other cats 🐈 & I love kids! πŸ‘¦ πŸ‘Ά I've never really been around 🐢 dogs before but I'm sure if they are cool, I'll be cool 😎!

Will you please adopt me? 😽 I'm so ready for a family of my own. It's the only Xmas present 🎁 I want this year!

πŸ’‹No Adoption Event TodayπŸ’‹
Chip & Cheese are at Petco in Layton during regular business hours and they would ❀️ for you to swing by and meet them! πŸ€— Read on to learn more about these cute boys!

Have you ever felt like you don't have a place in this world? 😿 Me too!

I'm Chip & I've struggled from the day I was born! I was an abandoned, very sick little kitten who had to be tube fed & watched round the ⏰️ but my foster momma dedicated herself to me & because of her, I'm alive! πŸ˜½πŸ§Žβ€β™€οΈ

When I was about 4 months old, I was adopted & living the best life! I had a mom, dad & 🐈 πŸ• siblings. But then, my mom had a πŸ‘Ά & she didn't want me anymore. So, I was returned. I still don't know why because I ❀️ kids. In fact, I love everyone & everything!

Eventually, I found another 🏑 with a sweet older πŸ‘΅ who also adopted my buddy Cheese. πŸˆπŸˆβ€β¬›οΈ We have the best time together! We've been with her for about a year now. Sadly, she has a severe case of lupus & she just can't care for us anymore.πŸ˜ΏπŸ’¦ We are so sad & we miss her just as much as she misses us, but we understand.

Now, I'm looking for another family who will love & accept me but I just don't know if that's going to happen! πŸ™€ You see, I have three strikes against me... βœ”οΈ I'm an adult βœ”οΈ I'm a black πŸˆβ€β¬›οΈ βœ”οΈ I have Feline Herpes.

Feline Herpes is not as bad as it sounds & it's actually quite common in cats! 😺 Some cats, like me, are just symptomatic & tend to sneeze & have watery eyes but there is so much you can do to help me! 🀧 My immune system was so compromised as a baby, now, I'm paying the price but I'm so healthy otherwise! It flares with stress so keeping a good routine & low stress environment is πŸ”‘. It is not curable so managing symptoms as they pop up is the best course of action.

High quality food, like Royal Canin Kitten food, daily probiotics & L-lysine immune support is AMAZING!!! It helps suppress symptoms! 🍲🐟

πŸ’ž You can always try prescription Famciclovir during flares too, but I'm telling you, it's really nothing to worry about as long as you don't mind a sneezy watery eyed πŸˆβ€β¬›οΈ! Some people will even try breathing treatments using a nebulizer or colloidal silver.

I get it... that's a lot so I'm prepared to live my life in foster care, but man, I sure don't want to! πŸ˜ΏπŸ’” I want a family! I want kids to play with & a mom or dad who will let me cuddle with them! I'd LOVE another 🐈 friend (maybe you'd want to adopt Cheese too) 😹 & who knows, chances are I'd be great with a πŸ• too as long as you slowly introduce us!

❣️ I'm really PURRaying that my PURRsonality & exceptionally 🐾 LOVEY & PLAYFUL 🐾 demeanor will supersede the fact that I have a condition that I can't control.

My favorite things to do are 😺cuddle, cuddle, play on the cat tower, cuddle, chase springs & run through tunnels, πŸͺΆπŸ§Ά cuddle, sleep with my human & headbutt my human 😼when I'm not getting the attention I crave.πŸ’˜

I'm so worried that I will never find a family who will truly love me & give me a forever home!!! πŸ’”πŸ˜½ Purrty please prove me wrong!

Oooh, I almost forgot - I am dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, have my rabies shot & I just got a Convenia shot which helps my virus! πŸ’‰ Plus, I'm the BEST mannered boy & you will never have to worry about me not using a litter box!

πŸ§€ Hi, I'm Cheese & I'll be 2 next week! πŸŽ‰ I'm looking for a new family because sadly, my mom has a severe case of lupus & she just can't care for us (my best buddy Chip & I) anymore.πŸ˜ΏπŸ’¦ We are so sad & we miss her just as much as she misses us, but we understand.

I'm a super playful guy who loves to run through my 🐈 tunnel, chase springs, play in yarn and explore! I also love to watch the 🌎 outside through the πŸͺŸ in the safety of my own 🏑.

You might say I'm a bit shy when you first meet me, but don't worry, it's all a facade 😹 because I'm as lovey as they come! I just want to make sure you're good people before I give you my heart! ❣️

I love other 🐈 πŸˆβ€β¬›οΈ. Like I said, if you're willing to adopt two, (Chip is sooo cool) and that would be awesome! If not, I just hope you have a furrend for me at 🏑. Kids are great, well, all humans are pretty amazing! I haven't been around a 🐢 since I was a kitten but I think I'd be OK if they were nice and if you really took your time and slowly introduced us!

My main thing is, I just want a family who will love on me, give me lots of affection and let me play until my heart is content! πŸ©΅πŸ’š

I'm litter πŸ“¦ trained, have great manners and have already been dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped and neutered - oh, and I just got my rabies shot too so all I need is YOU!

What do you say, can we celebrate my birthday together??? 😻

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.
