🐾 Every Mile Matters

The **Paws Around the World 5K** supports **New Beginnings International Sporting Dog Rescue**, a nonprofit dedicated to saving Setters, Pointers, Spaniels, and Retrievers abandoned overseas—especially in Greece and other countries where these kind, loyal hunting breeds are often discarded and left to suffer.

Your registration and support help provide **veterinary care, travel costs, rehabilitation, and loving homes** for dogs who have never known safety—until now.

New Beginnings: Paws Around the World 5k

New Beginnings rescues sporting dogs from neglect and gives them a second chance in loving forever homes.

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.**

Sir Antony is just the best boy! He loves running in the woods and mountains here in Alaska, and also hanging out on the couch and cuddling. I am so greatful for the women at New Beginnings who helped me find him! 

I signed up for the Paws Around the World 5K, because I believe that love has no borders and I love the mission of New Beginnings - 

I give to NBISDR because these dogs and people continue to bring joy to so many.


We love volunteering with New Beginnings and are so thankful for them to have matched us with our sweet Greek setter!

Thank you for saving these beautiful souls. Kala (Skala) is so precious and so sweet and now enjoying life!  

I am supporting Paws around the World 5k because every setter deserves a home for life!!
