My story

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

Rhett, just a good ole' boy seeking a new life in New England!

Rhett found himself in need of a new home when his original owner could no longer care for him. At just two years old, Rhett is still young but has outgrown his puppy craziness.

He's crate trained and making strides with housetraining, showing promising progress. With a medium energy level, Rhett enjoys winding down after play sessions and simply chilling out.

Rhett isn't the type to be in your face; he's a bit timid around new people but is generally very friendly and submissive. He thrives on playing with his foster siblings, especially enjoying the role of big brother to puppies. While he would appreciate having a dog friend to hang out with, it's not a requirement for him.

He's a calm companion in the car, content to ride along without any fuss.

Rhett is ready to embark on his next adventure in a loving forever home. Could yours be the one he's been waiting for? Don't miss out on the opportunity to welcome this sweet boy into your life.

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.
