Who We Are

Using 30+ years experience, A New Leash on Life, LLC (ANLOL) rescue is dedicated to saving as many lives as possible and placing them in quality, caring homes. This 30 years started with a humane society, some rescues for other people and, finally, a rescue put together using all the past experiences, both good and bad, to determine care and placement of the animals. A foster home network is in place to ensure that we have the very best information about an animal prior to placement. Some dogs need to be “an only child”, others prefer the company of their own kind. This can be determined by placing them in a home, rather than a kennel situation. Because of a great love of animals, there is a total commitment to quality placement of the fosters . . . there is no time limit on how long they stay in the program . . . they are here until their “forever” home comes. ANLOL is not a breed or size specific rescue. If an animal needs help, and there is room in a foster home, the animal is taken in. In order to adopt out a pet, that pet needs to know what it is like to be part of a family so ANLOL puts them into family situations. The dogs are “cat” tested, and the foster home network has various sizes of animals in the homes so fosters are exposed to a lot of different sizes and personalities. The foster animals are socialized as much as possible to make for an easier transition into your home. Please take a moment and look at the pets we have for adoption . . .you might just find that special one out there that will steal your heart away. Pets are available for viewing by appointment only, as they are in our homes. However, an application needs to be filled out and approved prior to an appointment being set up.

Adopting a friend

We operate through a foster home network as we have no shelter. This allows us to give you better information about the animal in a home situation. If you are interested in one of our animals, we send you an application and, once approved, make arrangements for you to meet and greet the animal(s) that we have for adoption. The adoption process will not be completed until you meet the animal and fall totally in love for life.

All animals are UTD on vaccinations, including rabies, are heartworm checked, and altered. NOTE: Puppies are not heartworm tested and sometimes are not old enough to receive a rabies vaccination. This, then, becomes the responsibility of the new family. All animals are on Heartgard and Frontline from the time they enter our program.

Please keep in mind that we are not looking to "get rid of" or "find a fast home" for our foster animals; we are looking for the best possible home for each and every one of our animals. So, while you will, we are sure, provide a good and loving home, the foster parent may find another application that better suits the needs of that particular animal. All animals are evaluated and their needs assessed prior to making an effort to place them.

Please Remember that A New Leash on Life, LLC is not a shelter with public hours.
Visits are by appointment only, after applications are approved!




Jarnee Gehrke, of One Shep at a Time in North Carolina, has shared this --


Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid. As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them. As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life. She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well. Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.




I rescued a human today.

A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS


1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful
2 Give me time to understand what it is you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without God's critters. We do not have to wait for Heaven, to be surrounded by hope, love, and joyfulness. It is here on earth and has four legs!
