At New Beginnings International Sporting Dog Rescue, our mission is to be a lifeline for abandoned, neglected, and abused sporting dogs—particularly Setters, Brittanys, and other Spaniels, Pointers and Retrievers—whose voices go unheard in places where help is desperately needed.
We focus our efforts on rescuing these extraordinary dogs from harsh conditions in Greece and other countries where hunting dogs are often discarded or mistreated. Through compassionate intervention, we provide safe shelter, vaccinations, medical treatment, and the rehabilitation they need to heal—both physically and emotionally.
Our ultimate goal is to give each dog a true second chance by placing them in loving, permanent homes across the United States, Canada, the UK, and Europe. Every dog we rescue is a life transformed—from abandonment to belonging, from hardship to home.
At New Beginnings, every journey matters. Every life counts.
