My story

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

Local Foster in New England~
I'm
Cowboy was adopted to his family as young puppy and until recently we assumed all was well but mom emailed us to let us know that he had started not liking sharing his home with their small dog and there's been some scuffles. He has many, many wonderful qualities!!

This handsome boy is so awesome with his humans - he is soooo affectionate and loves watching football or doing anything where he gets to hang out with you.

Child friendly - lived with several and they adore him and he them.

He does not need to be crated when you leave the house - he's not destructive at all - no chewing anything he should not.

He's smart too! He'll sit in front of his food waiting for the "go ahead", he'll nose his leash when he needs to go out and sits when you pickup his leash as he knows he needs to sit before that goes on.

Would love to get this guy settled into his forever home- he deserves it!!

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.
