PAWS NEW ENGLAND

About Our Rescue Group

PAWS is comprised of a small group of volunteers from New England and Tennessee trying to reduce the euthanization rate (previously 90%) at the Tipton County Animal Control shelter in Brighton, Tennessee. This shelter is forced to euthanize thousands of animals each year due to irresponsible pet owners that do not spay/ neuter their dogs in the area. Millions of dogs in America are euthanized each year due to lack of space and lack of funding to try and find them better homes.

Our mission is to save as many animals as possible, removing them from the shelter, having their veterinary needs met prior to traveling and then finding them loving homes throughout New England. We do this only with the assistance of many people volunteering their time by going to the shelter, transporting the dogs to the vet, fostering dogs who need special care, and arranging for their new and happy homes in this area. Most importantly, we cannot do any of this without those people willing to open their homes and hearts to these lovely creatures.

Come Meet our Pets

All of our dogs are located either in foster homes in New England or in our partner animal hospital in Memphis, TN. Please email our volunteers to ask about the specific pet that you are interested in.

Dogs in Memphis can be transported to New England with our transport partners.

Where Your Purchase Helps Support Rescue!

Our Adoption Process

All of our dogs have an adoption fee of $400. This includes a $275 donation to the animal hospital that provided their care and their $125 transportation fee.

All of our dogs arrive altered, up to date on shots, and receive medication and treatment for any problems that are present in the animal hospital. Families that adopt rescue dogs are entitled to one free month of pet insurance!

PAWS requires all adopters to complete an online application and provide either a vet reference or two personal references. All adopters will be required to sign an adoption contract and a rider stating their dog will be taken to a vet of their choice within 72 hours for a fecal exam.

Our plan is to begin microchipping our animals within the next few months.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
