About New Life Animal Rescue:
New Life Animal Rescue is a small nonprofit 501(c)3 rescue organization based in southern NJ.
They are primarily a critical care / special needs and hospice rescue, saving those animals that others sadly reject or are not equipped to care for.
Since their establishment in 2012 New Life Animal Rescue has saved, rehabbed, cared for and trained over 1,000 special animals and carefully selected incredible forever families! Those who require hospice or long-term specialized care remain with New Life in a loving home and get home-cooked food and the best of veterinary care and supplements based on their specific medical needs.
New Life Animal Rescue specializes in cleft palate pups and neonates and have had many surrendered to them through veterinarians and breeders. New Life’s Founder and Director Kim lovingly cares for and tube-feeds these babies every 2 hours around the clock until they are old enough for palate repair surgery with the incredible veterinary surgical team they work with.
New Life has incubators and oxygen, provides sub cu fluids and wound care, and has even given CPR on the side of the road to a newly rescued pup! The fearful and formerly abused ones are also dear to Director Kim’s heart and she provides them with gentle care as we all watch them slowly blossom and learn that not all humans are cruel!
New Life Animal Rescue also serves as a resource to the local and internet community and all pet owners by providing education and information on responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spay/neuter, force-free and fear-free training, and excellent nutrition.
New Life Animal Rescue is a small rescue doing GREAT things and they receive no government funding or grants.
Please come out and support our amazing organization at our 11th annual “Gone to the Dogs” Craft Fair & Family Festival at the Gloucester County Dream Park, 400 Route 130, Logan Twp NJ on Saturday, November 22nd!

This little nugget may only weigh five pounds, but he carries a big name and an even bigger personality! A unique blend of Teacup Yorkie and Mini Husky, Prince proves that size has nothing to do with spirit. Despite his small stature, he brings plenty of s***k, smarts, and sparkle to every training session!

Meet Lainey, a quintessential lab; the perfect mix of goofy joy and gentle soul powered by snacks and love! Lainey is eight months old and just the sweetest girl ever. Her favorite lesson was doing a reliable recall. She got hot dogs for this one - and she never had a hot dog before! She expressed her happiness by zooming around the yard when we practiced.

This sweet girl is Penny. She is an eight month old mix of lab/pointer and maybe some herding breed. Whatever she is, she is nothing short of being adorable! Don't you just love her floppy ears? She's in the middle of her six weeks of training and she is doing very well.

Erlo says “Joyeux Halloween!” That’s French for Happy Halloween. Erlo can always be counted on to have a unique Halloween costume each year. Do you have a pic if your dog dressed up for the occasion? Post it here, we’d love to see it!

Meet Chuck and Barry, two Very Good Pets. Their page is hilarious, follow for a good laugh now and then! I thought their advice to puppies would be helpful on my page. 😁

This sweet little guy is Teddy, a four month old lab puppy! So stinkin' cute! And such sharp puppy teeth!! Teddy was a pleasure to work with and was a quick learner.

Halloween's coming. Scare yourself and your friends, but NOT your dogs.

🎃 As Halloween nears, we have a spOoOoky tale for you... 👻

This tale has been told hundreds of thousands of times over the years, and it never gets better, only worse!

The story of the purposefully scared pet! 🙀 The horror!

All jokes aside, stop intentionally scaring your pets.
It's not funny.
It's cruel.
It can ruin your pet's trust in you and increase the likelihood of aggressive behavior.

Halloween is best enjoyed when EVERYONE is having a good time. So if your pets dislike costumes, put your pets away for the Halloween party (or consider having a sitter take them for the night). If your pets dislike novel items like Halloween decorations, keep them out of sight. There are better times and ways to introduce them to potentially scary things, but Halloween parties and festivities are 👏 Not 👏 It.

Meet Ripple! This seven-month-old Australian Labradoodle is sweet, smart, and full of fun energy. He’s been doing great in training and keeps us smiling every session!

Does your dog sleep with you? Sleeping with dogs is totally safe as long as both you and your dog are healthy. It’s also important to make sure your dog is house trained and is not prone to aggressive or territorial behaviors around the bed. Some studies show that 56% of dog owners enjoy sleeping next to their dog! (I'm one of them!). There are known benefits to a snoozing, snoring, canine right beside you including improving mental health, making you feel safer, reducing stress, and strengthening the human-pet bond. Shown below is also a graphic on the best dog breeds to sleep with you! (I'll vouch for the pit bull! 😁)

This pretty little pittie is Juno. She's a newly adopted three year old and is SO excited to be in a forever home. She also came from my Peetie's alma mater, Homeward Bound Pet Adoption Center. Adopted and rescued dogs will ALWAYS show you their gratitude for giving them a second chance. Why not open your heart and your home to a homeless dog and feel that unconditional love. 🤎 They seem to love their trainers, too!😃
