zaza

Hi, I’m Zaza! I’m a 6–7-year-old Havanese weighing in at 16 pounds of sweetness and spunk. I was finally surrendered from a puppy mill where I didn’t get the care or love I needed, but I’ve been learning what a good life can feel like in my foster home. I might not look like a full Havanese right now—some of my hair is still growing back from the neglect—but my coat is making a comeback, and so is my sparkle. At first, I can be a little shy around new people or dogs, but once I feel safe, my silly side comes out! I love zooming around the yard, chasing toys, and curling up in my big, fluffy bed like a little queen. I’ve made a ton of progress building confidence, and every day I surprise my foster family with my playful energy and goofy personality. I do well with other dogs once I get to know them, and I’ve even gained courage from my foster sibling. I would be happiest in a forever home with a furry sibling to keep me company. I’m looking for a home where I can feel safe, loved and surrounded by other dogs who can help me feel even more at ease. If you have a soft spot for sweet, gentle pups who just need a little time to blossom, I just might be the perfect match for you.


Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from A New Chance Animal Rescue (https://anewchancear.org). We are a 501c3, tax deductible organization. ANCAR is a foster-based rescue, and we adopt within a 90 mile radius of Bedford Hills, NY. You will find the adoption application here: (https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-application/). All fields on the application must be completed. Please read about the adoption process (https://www.anewchancear.org/adopt/our-adoption-process/) so you'll know what to expect when you submit.

Our dogs are in foster care and we do NOT have a shelter or boarding facility. AN APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL AND APPROVED BEFORE A DOG CAN BE MET. This is a firm policy. Our busy volunteers are not able to respond to questions about the dog or dog meeting requests in the absence of an application. We know these dogs very well because they are in foster care. Please read the profiles of the dog(s) you are interested in prior to submitting an application. If there are specific requirements stated (ie: Fenced Yard or Canine Friend Required) these are included because they are vital to the happiness, health, safety and adoption success of that dog.

We are only able to save as many dogs as we have foster homes (https://www.anewchancear.org/foster/faqs/) and resources for. We provide medical care including vaccinations, testing, deworming, spaying/neutering and microchipping before transporting our dogs. We provide all supplies, preventatives and any follow up vet care necessary while they are in foster care. These costs are high and the number of lives we can save is entirely dependent upon donations from people like you. We do not receive funding from private foundations or government sources. If you can find room in your heart to help us, with any amount, we are truly grateful (https://www.anewchancear.org/help/donate/). We are a 501c3 organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. It is only through the kindness of supporters like you that we are 'changing lives...one tail at a time' by providing our dogs with 'A New Chance.' (https://anewchancear.org)

Thanks so much.
