My story

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

In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming, there's a gentle soul named Vixen, quietly seeking her place to call home. With timid eyes that hold a universe of unspoken stories, Vixen is a beacon of hope and resilience, waiting for a patient hand to guide her towards the warmth of belonging.

Abandoned with her mama in the south by their owners, she is soooo ready to find a furever family.

This beautiful girl is a tender-hearted shepherd mixed breed with a sleek black coat with white markings on her chest and paws. Her expressive brown eyes and floppy ears give her an adorable and endearing appearance.

Vixen embodies the beauty of vulnerability and the courage to trust again. Though she may initially shy away from strangers, and sudden movements, her gentle spirit shines through in moments of quiet connection, revealing a heart yearning for love and security.

Her days are spent in gentle exploration, tiptoeing through life's uncertainties with cautious curiosity. From sniffing cautiously at new scents to tentatively offering a paw in friendship, Vixen's journey towards trust is a delicate dance of patience and understanding.

She is truly waiting to bloom in the nurturing embrace of a loving family.

Vixen dreams of
-quiet moments by a window, watching the world go by in peace,
-gentle hands to offer comfort and reassurance,
-a safe haven where she can finally let her guard down and be herself.

So, if you're searching for a soul to share in life's quiet moments, look no further than Vixen.

With her tender heart and gentle spirit, she promises to fill your days with quiet companionship, your heart with unconditional love, and your home with the tranquility of a soul finding its place in the world.

This sweet girl will make the greatest companion.

Update: Vixen was recently diagnosed with hip dysplasia and underwent repair on one side - she will require repair on the opposite side. Covered by Paws New England!

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.
