My Nonprofit Reviews

I adopted 2 GSP/mix sibling puppies from New Beginnings rescue in July 2017 after losing our gsp in May. I heard about New Beginnings while searching the internet for GSP rescues. When I came across them, I was thrilled to learn they are a holistic rescue that looks after the whole dog from general health to proper nutrition to alternatives to toxic chemical flea tick prevention. So many other rescues and shelters pump their dogs with vaccines not knowing any vaccination history to determine if the vaccines are really necessary.
The whole experience from application to pickup was smooth, very informative and positive. I had no trouble paying the $10 application fee (many rescues charge more than that!).
Over the course of the review process I had several conversations with their representative initiated by both myself and them. It was evident they make every effort to find a perfect match, not only for them but for the family as well. They conducted reference checks and verified vet information as requested on their application.
We were busy with summer starting and I couldn't pick up the dogs for at least a month. They were willing to work with us and even sent us video and pictures of our babies during the wait time. The foster mom requested we send her some articles of old clothing with our scent on them to get the dogs used to our smells. What a brilliant idea!! At the handoff, the foster mom gave us our 'care' package for the dogs with everything we needed to get through the next couple days. The whole transfer and travel home went without a hitch. The pups were behaved and clearly showed they'd been loved and well cared for. Their adjustment to our home went very well and they have settled in beautifully... both loving and loyal dogs!!
I can't say enough about New Beginnings and how grateful I am for the work they put into their dogs to ensure they're healthy and happy.
I disagree with the gentleman who left a review earlier. They are NOT a scam and yes, they ARE picky about who they adopt their dogs to and won't adopt to just anybody. The dogs are expected to be members of the family and not kept housed outside.
I would highly recommend this rescue for people willing to take a more holistic approach to dog care. The representative was helpful, knowledgeable, informative..teaching me a few things I didn't know before. A+++!
