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 lives.

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 euthanasia rates and improve animal welfare through community buildi

ng 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.

Bobble is a delightful companion! His affectionate nature and desire for human attention make him a wonderful pet. It's charming that he seeks interaction by giving you a smoldering look with his hooded eyes - it's like he has his own way of communicating his needs.

His unique way of asking for affection, whether it's presenting his head for a kiss or gently placing a paw on your cheek, shows just how much he enjoys being close to you. It's also interesting that he prefers to be the sole feline star in your life, but it's great that he gets a long well with dogs and humans.

Bobble seems to thrive on love and affection. Making him a perfect companion for someone who can give him the affection he craves. His personality will bring so much joy and warmth to your home!

Hi! 😸 Let me introduce myself. I'm Cutie Pie πŸ₯§ and I'm the furbaby you've been looking for! I have a really great ticked tabby coat and a purrfect personality! πŸ’™

My family developed allergies and I have to go. 😿 I thought I might have a good shot at finding a new home since the other foster tabby (Gizmo) received so much attention!
🐾 🀞

I just celebrated my second πŸŽ‚ which was bitter-sweet this year since my brother (and bestie) found himself another home. 🐈 πŸ«‚

Now, it's just me! πŸ’”

I miss him... and I'm going to miss my family. But, I'm going a find a family who has other 🐈 🐢 and πŸ‘§πŸ» πŸ‘Ά because I love them all!

Don't be surprised, of course, if it takes me a min ⏰️ to settle since I'm leaving the family I've always been with!

I'm a big-boned, husky guy who loves LOVE, snuggling, playtime, exploring and food.😸πŸͺΆπŸ’€πŸ’ž

Too good to be true? Nope, I'm the perfect 🐈 who just found himself in a bind, so I'm really hoping you will snag me and help make this a simple transition so I can continue living the good life!

I'm ready to meet you and start cuddling today!!! ❣️

UPDATE!!!
Pending adoption... as long as my new brother (Monroe) and I hit it off, I have a NEW FAMILY!!! 😻😻😻

I really don't understand! πŸ’”πŸ˜Ώ Just yesterday, I was sunbathing β˜€οΈ πŸͺŸ in my home with the only family I've ever known... today, they don't want me anymore! πŸ’¦

They say it's because "their situation has changed" and they don't have time for my energy." πŸ™€

My name is Gizmo and I just turned two in December. I'm a very good boy. πŸ’•πŸˆ

My (former) family 😾 said I'm just too playful for their other cat. I want to play and wrestle but she just wants to be left alone. πŸˆβ€β¬›οΈβ€οΈπŸˆ I just want a friend!

I guess they are moving to Colorado. πŸ’ΌβœˆοΈ They don't want to take me, even though they will take their other cat. My feelings are so hurt! πŸ’” Why did they choose her, but not me too? I thought we were a family. Families aren't supposed to give up on each other! πŸΎπŸ«‚πŸΎ

I am a sweet boy who just loves to play! 🧢πŸͺΆThey said I get to keep my favorite blanket, some of my toys πŸ“¦ and will send the last of my food 🐟 πŸ₯£.

πŸ˜ΏπŸ’¦They want me gone now. They won't even foster me until I find a new family.

I hope my NEW family πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§ who chooses to adopt me won't give up on me. This is so hard on me!!! I'm very sad, confused, and lonely! β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή

If I got to pick my purrfect family, I'd have pawrents who will cuddle me, a fur-brother or fur-sister who will play with me and the freedom to play, chase, and paw as much as I want! πŸ˜ΊπŸ’žπŸ‘

I'm a funny guy who loves to lay on my back and sprawl out. πŸ’€

I hate to be alone and will follow you around to see what you're doing. If you shut me out πŸšͺ I will meow and paw at the door so you remember that I'm there. 😻

Do you think you could give me ❀️ , πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ , and a 🏑 since I don't have anything now?

I need this now... I can't wait! Please, purrty please, text πŸ“±πŸ‘ˆ Melissa at 801-388-6571 so I can get out of this place where I know I'm not wanted.

It's March, so we are still celebrating ☘️ St. PAWtricks Day☘️ because hey, we all could use a little luck, right?

These are some of our Lucky Charms and we simply can't get enough of them! πŸ₯°πŸ˜»

We just KNOW that they will complete you and your family. They need you & you need them! 🌈

Remember, we've made this easy for you... all of our kiddos are dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped and spayed, or neutered. πŸ’‰πŸ“

They've also been staying in our personal homes 🏑 which means they know what our means to be a wonderful pet with social skills. 😺

Do I look familiar to you?
I'm Lost!!! 🐢

I dodged all odds 🚘 (literally) when I was found on πŸ›£ Hwy 89 over by Walmart in South Ogden!!!

It was so SCARY!!!

A really nice lady πŸ¦Έβ€β™€οΈ stopped her πŸš— and got me out of harms way, but I don't know how I didn't get hit by all that traffic!

I'm safe now... I just really miss my family πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘§ and I need your help to find them!

I do have a microchip that is registered to A New Beginning Animal Rescue but we can't find my pawrents. Do you know them? 🀞🐾

I'm 3 years old!

Will you please SHARE this post and help me get back home where I belong?

🌀 Good Morning! My name is Hope and I am hoping to find my furever 🏑. Will you help me?

I have been a foster for almost two years now!!! πŸ˜ΏπŸ’” I'm really hoping that now I'm a part of 🐾 A New Beginning Animal Rescue 🐾 my life will change, and I'll find a family who will love me!

I'm 6.5 years old, but don't let that fool you πŸŽ‚...remember, age is just a #️⃣ because I still 🩷 life!!! My foster family tells people I have a unique personality, and that it really shines when I chase balls πŸ€βš½οΈπŸˆπŸ around and am playing. It's so much fun!!! 😸

I am EXTREMELY affectionate!!! 😻 One of my most favorite activities is cuddling!!! πŸ’ž We can watch 🎬, read a πŸ“–, take a πŸ’€ - ot doesn't matter, as long as we cuddle! I love butt pats and I ❀️ to talk!!! I'm so vocal that everyone thinks I'm so cute!

In my previous foster family, I had 4 housemates πŸˆβ€β¬›οΈπŸˆ that I got along with great! Until, that is, I was attacked and injured. Now, I struggle a bit with other cats because I'm so nervous they will hurt me! I might be ok with your 😸 as long as they are nice to me and you protect me!πŸ’— The company would be nice but I just don't understand why my friends beat me up. 😿 β€οΈβ€πŸ©ΉSo please, take good care of me and do SLOW introductions!

If you are looking for one heck of a snuggle buddy, I would be purrfect!!! I'm your girl!

One thing... I don't want to go to adoption events! But, my foster momma said you can come to our 🏑 in South Ogden and meet me! We can do an on-the-spot adoption πŸ“ if everything feels right! Purrty please text Melissa at 801-388-6571 to make arrangements! πŸ€—πŸ˜½

Meet Rosie 🌹 – Your Sweet and Playful Companion! πŸ’•

Rosie is a charming one-and-a-half-year-old foster 🐈 with a big personality in a small package. Despite her age, she’s petite β€” about the size of a 6- to 7-month-old kitten β€” which just adds to her adorable appeal! 😻

Rosie has a playful side that really shines in the πŸŒ… mornings, when she’s ready to chase toys πŸͺΆ 🧢 and explore her surroundings. She also has a knack for finding cozy hiding spots πŸ“¦ where she can quietly observe the world around her β€” the perfect mix of curious and cautious.

While she’s not very cuddly yet, with a little patience and love ❀️, Rosie will likely warm up and become a snuggly companion who’s happy to curl up for a πŸ’€ nap by your side (and trust us, she loves to nap!). 😹🀭

She does have a few quirks that make her extra special. Rosie isn’t a fan of loud noises πŸŽ† like the washer and would do best in a calmer home 🏑 without πŸ›‘πŸ‘¦πŸ‘§πŸ» young children. When she’s feeling playful or ready to be left alone, 😼 she may give you gentle love bites β€” but never anything too rough!

With a slow intro, we think she'd be great with other cats considering she came from a home with plenty! 😺 We aren't too sure about πŸ• but we are convinced 'MOST' animals get along, or at the very least tolerate one another, given patience! πŸ€žπŸΎπŸ’ž

If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and independent 🐈 who just needs a little time to show her cuddly side πŸ˜½πŸ’•, Rosie might be the perfect match for you.

Give her a chance, and you could have a loyal nap buddy and morning playmate for years to come! β£οΈπŸˆπŸ«‚πŸΎβ£οΈ

πŸ“’ I am still available!!!

Stewart's the name and DOGSπŸ•πŸ›‘ are not my game! You see, I was attacked by one of those beasts before having been rescued and ever since, I just don't trust any of them! πŸ‘€

I've lived the majority of my life 🌳 outside, on my own. 🐱 I must have done something right because my fosters guesstimate that I'm between 4-5 years old πŸŽ‰!

My foster family is incredible! They ❀️ me, and I ❀️ them! They brought me indoors and it turns out, being a 🏠 🐈 house pet is AMAZING!

Not only do they treat me like a king πŸ‘‘ by contributing to my 13-pound physique 🐟 (hey, I love to eat!), but they got me πŸ’‰ neutered and vaccinated too!

Now let's get something straight here, though I do πŸ’™ food, I'm not at all aggressive! I'll even shareπŸ›πŸ₯–πŸ₯š! But I have to assume, if meals are left out, it's free game. 😺 I tend to eat like I've never eaten before, but that's just because I'm not used to the opportunity! I've always had to scavenge. 😿 (Hint, that's your cue to feel sorry for me!) 😽

I have no other quirks! Clearly, I'm a handsome as they come, I'm affectionate, playful, and social! 🧢πŸͺΆπŸ₯Ž

I even use the litter box πŸ“¦ like a pro! Surely you are impressed by that considering all the years I was left to do as I please in nature! πŸƒπŸ‚

Now that I'm an indoor cat 🏑 (I just πŸ’ž it so much) I do find myself wandering out to the catio from time to time! There is something to be said about the 🌞 pelting down on my coat, the smell of fresh air, and watching the 🐦 πŸ¦β€β¬› scurry about.

I love peopleπŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈβ€βž‘οΈπŸšΆβ€β™€οΈand I πŸ’—REALLY πŸ’— love other πŸˆπŸˆβ€β¬›οΈ!!! That would be my one request, is that you have a buddy or two for me to hang out with so we can take turns grooming! 😻😻 I acclimate pretty quick!

Ok, two requests... please πŸ“ƒ adopt me TODAY! I simply can't live with this beast of a dog 🐢 another day! Truth be told, he is very nice and just wants to play but he πŸ™€ TERRIFIES πŸ™€ me!!!

Take me home, PURRRtty please!!! πŸ©΅πŸ’šπŸ’™

🐾 Can we all just take a MEOWment to PAWS and appreciate these PURRfectly adorable fur-teens/adults who are currently up for adoption?! πŸ’•

Understandably, these kids do not love attending adoption events, so they've been "in the system" for longer than they deserve. 😿

At their foster homes, they are "themselves" and would prove to be the best new family member. 😻

If you are thinking about adding to your family, we invite you to consider one (or a pair)πŸˆβ€β¬›οΈπŸˆ of these sweethearts!

Kitten season is coming, and that means these kids will certainly be pushed to the back burner because everyone wants a brand new kitten, and that's simply not fair! πŸ™€

Each of these cats have so much love to give, are full of purrsonality and just make life better! πŸ₯°

Which ones do you want to meet? Let's schedule a time for you to come on over and meet them... we are confident that you will fall in love! ❣️

03/09/2025

Look how darling!!!!

Boomer (tux) is a brand new foster. Lilo is the resident cat.

For those of you who have concerns about bringing in teens/adults... this video is proof that some cats just bond quickly!

Please consider fostering or adopting!

Next month I will be one-year-old and really, the only thing I want for my πŸŽ‚ Catday πŸŽ‚ is a family!!!

I'm Patches, and I'm an independent little man who will keep you entertained! 😸 Plus, I'll be the best brother to any furbaby you already have! πŸ’•

Though I've had a couple of people come to meet me, it just hasn't felt right! I left the room and hid because THEY weren't YOU! πŸ”Ž Once I meet the RIGHT family, I believe I'll know it. πŸ©·πŸˆβ€β¬›οΈπŸ«‚πŸˆβ€β¬›οΈπŸ©· After all, we have to choose each other, right?!

People seem to think I'm hilarious! 😹 They are always laughing at me and say they don't even need a πŸ“Ί when I'm around. I do like to stretch out and sprawl myself wherever I can. Hopefully, you enjoy sharing your bubble! 🫧 I also love πŸ’€ nap time! What can I say, I'm a teen! Don't worry, I'll share some of the bed. πŸŒ™

All that sleep means I get to play hard! Running, jumping, chasing, exploring - yep, that's me! 🧢πŸͺΆ I'm not exactly the cuddly type of guy, but I do like to be pet. I'd much prefer just chilling by you rather than on you. Remember, I'm a big boy now so I don't need to be babied! 😺

I really, really ❣️LOVE❣️ other pets, of all kinds! In a perfect world, I'd have some fur-friends!!! I also really like kids! πŸ˜½πŸΆπŸ§’πŸ‘Ά

My sister and brother were already adopted. I'm so happy for them but, I'm starting to wonder when my forever family will finally find me! 😿 I'm ready... I've been ready!!! πŸ’™

I NEVER have any accidents, I'm a good kid with zero issues and have already been πŸ’‰ dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered!

You can adopt me in a few simple steps... πŸ“ we meet, fall in love, you fill out an adoption form (ANBAR can email), pay the adoption fee πŸͺ™ and then you get to take me home 🏑!

I can pawdly wait to meet you!!!! 😽

Mr. Boots & Binks are brothersπŸˆβ€β¬›οΈπŸˆ who rarely make it to the adoption events. Therefore, they have been with us much longer than expected. ⏱️

Though they ❀️ one another, they certainly don't need to go together. They are incredibly adaptable, and we believe so make the absolute best new family members! πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘¦β€πŸ‘¦

They are both GREAT with other cats, considering they came from a home with plenty.

Mr. Boots & Binks are quite the characters! They ❀️ dogs πŸ• and their favorite thing to do is play fetch with a jingly toy! Purrhaps they wish they were dogs! 🀭

We hope you are looking for a couple of cuddle buddies because Mr. Boots ❀️'s tummy rubs and they BOTH love to sleep πŸ’€ with you and sit on your lap!!!

Binks has a slight obsession with fleece and will suck on blankets. It must remind him of his momma! Awwww, so cute! πŸ₯°

An ideal home for these kiddos would be one that has other cats, dogs, and kids, along with plenty of cuddles! We just don't think you could ask for better cats!!! πŸ’•πŸˆβ€β¬›οΈπŸˆπŸ•πŸ©πŸ‘¦πŸ‘ΆπŸ‘§πŸ»πŸ’•

They've both been dewormed, vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. They are potty trained and have ZERO poor behaviors, making them even more desirable!

Now, they just need a family! Text Melissa at 801-388-6571 and let's set up a time to meet them. They are in Ogden!

What are you waiting for? They are going to add so much joy to your lives!!! πŸ’

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.
