We Speak For Those Who Cannot
in Northern Utah
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 on 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 building and public education on the mutual benefits of spay/neutering your animals and responsible pet ownership.
Join Us Every Saturday
12 pm-4 pm at Petco in Layton, Utah
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. Every Saturday, A New Beginning Animal Rescue is hosting an adoption event from 12 to 4 at Petco in Layton, Utah. A dog or cat is waiting for you. Change their life –– and yours –– by bringing one of these animals into your home today!
How You Can
Help Our Animals
Our team, consisting of all volunteers, works tirelessly to provide a home to as many rescues as possible. Our most urgent need is fostering, but you can help by donating to our organization or adopting one of these deserving little souls.
How to Make a Donation
to Help Our Animals
The most vulnerable members of our pet society are those that have no way to ask for our help — animals that are left to fend for themselves or are trapped in torturous conditions. But when you support A New Beginning Animal Rescue, you provide critical aid to these neglected animals. 100% of all donations go towards the animals, as we are a volunteer group.
To make a donation, either click the button below or visit us in person every Saturday from 12 pm to 4 pm at Petco in Layton, Utah, to make your donation in person. Every dollar you donate is a lifeline you provide to our animals. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any donation you can provide. Donations are tax-deductible; our tax-exempt number is 65-1310313.
Rescue a Cat
Seeking a Loving Home
Every cat deserves a right to be healthy and happy in your home. Every week we come into contact with and rescue cats who have been abandoned and tossed aside or born into homelessness.
At a New Beginning Animal Rescue, we make sure every cat that comes into our hands finds the home they deserve. You can help us today by rescuing a cat and adding it to your family. Our wide range of cats are ready to join you today. Contact us to learn more or you can view some of our adoptable animals on Petfinder. Click here to view the site.

How to Start
Fostering a Cat
If you're not able to be a forever home for a cat, fostering one is the next best thing. When you foster a cat, you allow them to rest in a more comfortable location while they await their perfect home. Fostering a cat is a great way to support these loving felines. Call us today to volunteer.
How to Start
Fostering a Dog
Fostering a dog is one of the best ways to support our loyal companions. Volunteering is easy. Give us a call today, and we'll ask you about your household situation and what types of dogs you're willing to foster. Then we'll see if we can match you up with the perfect pooch. If you're ready to volunteer for a wonderful cause, contact us today.

What Our Community Has to Say

"A New Beginning helped me find the newest member of my family in September of last year! She's settled in well and has brought so many smiles with her silly, outgoing personality. I'm so very thankful I adopted her."
Alison Beck
"Thank you so much to the people at this organization. In less than 12 hrs, they rallied and found a foster home for a mama cat and her days-old babies that I found. Their compassion and willingness to do right by animals is amazing."
Meredith Tornbom
"We adopted our dog Winston from A New Beginning Animal Rescue in November of last year. The experience was amazing! The people were kind. Our dog is wonderful! He's very playful and gets along great with his new brother, Teddy, our Yorkshire terrier. I tell anyone looking for a new pet to go to you."
Barry Carr
"My family has been fostering for ANBAR for over a year now. We’ve had nothing but great experiences and look forward to fostering many more animals."
