Katie is such a wonderful dog and has been a joy to foster.
Katie was being fed on the streets of Memphis by All 4s Rescue League. Luckily, it was discovered she had been picked up by the animal shelter and Paws New England thankfully agreed to take her under our wing, so her life was saved.
She has been in her southern foster home since June and in all honestly, her foster has not had one issue with her!!!
Katie Bug (as we call her, haha) is crate trained but she has had no accidents in months while out of the crate. She gets along great with her 2 male German Shepherd foster siblings She can even be left her out with them when her foster leaves for a short bit, and there have been no problems.
Katie is not living with children, but based on her kind and gently demeanor, we feel she should do fine. Since she actually hasn't resided with kids, we are going to say 7 or older at this time. Katie is reactive to cats.
Katie loves to snuggle up to you to watch tv, it just melts your heart. She has a habit of nibbling on your fingers (all in love) but we've been working on it and she's learning. Foster tells her "no teeth", pulls her hand away and then she gives her a kiss and stops.
This girl talks with a low growl when she wants out, to eat or just attention. This is in no way a sign of aggression. It was figured out that it's just Katie's way of communicating.
Katie Bug is just the sweetest, best dog in the world, and whoever adopts her will have nothing but joy and love from her.

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.
