My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Have you been looking for love in all the wrong places…then you need Douglas! This dog is ready to dedicate his life to you.

Douglas is the best of both worlds, puppy energy and enthusiasm but house-broken and crate-trained.

He would love his own person or people to be with all the time. But don’t worry when you need to leave him alone, he is good in his crate and will entertain himself with chew toys. He is very treat motivated so training is fun.

Doug is graduating from Good Pup soon and would love to continue his training with them. (His foster will gift you some continued training to guarantee his success!)

Douglas would be best as an only dog. He has not been cat tested, but he may find them too much fun.
And he is too energetic for young children but dog-savvy older children who will help with training would be fine.

And if you are wondering why his foster will not keep him, they would love to…..but they have three other dogs and Douglas truly deserves his own people to dote on him.

Don’t miss this special boy, he will give you his heart!

Where Your Purchase Helps Support Rescue!

More about this rescue

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.
