Meet Tupelo, a very good dog looking for his forever home.
The thing is, he’s kinda picky and like to take time to get to know people. But once he gets to know you and trusts you, he will be there with his silly ears to make you smile. Then, he will love spending his time cuddling next to you on the couch or having a good game of tug of war. He loves stuffies and chew toys. Though sometimes he thinks those stuffies need to be unstuffed!
He is so good on walks you’ll be impressed! Of course, he’s housebroken and crate-trained, too; as we said, he is a good boy!
I guess the thing you need to understand most about him is that he doesn’t like to be picked up or handled unexpectedly. And please respect his space and approach slowly. Maybe something happened in the past, who knows, but touching Tupelo, other than when he asks for it, makes him uncomfortable. But once your friends, he’ll ask for pick-ups and cuddles a lot, so don’t worry too much.Tupelo loves other dogs and loves to play. His foster mom knows another active dog in his home would make him very happy.
Tupelo is a happy, healthy 4-year-old boy with a funny scrunchy face and crazy ears just waiting for his best friend(s). It could be You!! Apply so you can talk to his foster mom, and she’ll be happy to tell you all about this good boy.

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.
