My story

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

Meet beautiful Freya! 💜

Freya is intelligent and curious and is VERY social. Freya has a warm and welcoming personality and loves all people and dogs. Although Freya loves everyone, her foster mom thinks a dog-savvy home would be ideal.

We recently confirmed Freya is essentially deaf (she sometimes response to very high-pitched noise) but that does not slow her down - she’s been busy hiking and making new friends!!!

Freya had FHO surgery in October 2023 and has healed well.

Freya LOVES being included in family activities and is eager to embrace an active lifestyle exploring the outdoors and enjoys snuggles on the couch and watching animal planet.

Freya’s Ideal Home requires a gentle and patient household that’s willing and able to invest in training and include her as a beloved family member. Freya is still in her puppy phase and will benefit from training and structure to help her continue to learn manners.

Freya would LOVE a playful furry sibling or a well-supervised doggy daycare for her social life.

Please consider giving this resilient, friendly, spunky, loving pup the chance she deserves. It will be amazing to experience the unconditional love and boundless joy she will bring to you.

Check out this girl experiencing snow for the very first time. I think she loved it!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.

Puppies under the age of 4 months will not be spayed/neutered prior to adoption upon advice of our veterinarians; small dog breeds may not be altered prior to six months if size prohibitive.

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.
