My story

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

Introducing Sammie Boy, the most uniquely playful pup around!

Sammie's journey took an unexpected turn when a concerned guest overheard his "owner" at a local motel discussing plans to abandon him on the streets due to housing difficulties. Thankfully, fate intervened, and Sammie found himself welcomed into the loving care of one of our amazing fosters.

This spirited boy thrives on being in the midst of the action, whether it's romping around with his foster buddies or soaking up the company of his favorite people. He's on the lookout for an active household, preferably with another dog to keep him company and join in on the fun.

Sammie's adventurous spirit knows no bounds, but his enthusiasm for exploration calls for a secure yard with a sturdy stockade or vinyl fence. With the ability to scale a six-foot chain link fence in the blink of an eye, Sammie is a master of escape artistry. In unfenced areas, he'll require a long lead until he's mastered recall training.

A true foodie at heart, Sammie will do anything for a tasty treat, making him a highly trainable companion. He's not food aggressive towards people and is quite comfortable with food bowl handling. However, he prefers to dine solo and will need separate feeding arrangements if sharing space with another dog.

Sammie's love for adventure extends to car rides, where he eagerly hops in at the sight of an open door. With his fearless demeanor, he's ready to be your ultimate adventure buddy, accompanying you on every journey with excitement and joy.

While he's not a fan of confinement in his crate, Sammie can be persuaded with the promise of a delicious treat. He may prefer to be where the action is, but he's learning that sometimes the best adventures start from the comfort of his crate.

Are you ready to embark on thrilling escapades with Sammie by your side? Don't miss out on the chance to welcome this spirited pup into your heart and home!

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.
