My story

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

Brantley lives his very best day every day! He always wakes up happy ready to eagerly greet the day! He LOVES life and never stops wagging his tail!

This boy didn’t have the best start living in Memphis. Despite being abandoned & followed by multiple transitions, his happy spirit triumphs over everything he has experienced. All he wants to be is your best friend, to give lots of kisses and cuddle with you.

Brantley has been a very good boy inside the house, only playing with his toys and not destructive. He hasn’t had an accident in the house when taken out regularly for his potty breaks and he loves to run and play!
Brantley is crate trained and knows to ‘wait’ until you tell him to come out.
He is learning to sit, stay, come, heel and wait, but will need to continue his training in his new forever home.

Big Brant gets along with other nice dogs and has been gentle and happy around everyone (respectful kids and adults) he meets. He currently lives with a Malinois canine and gets along so very well with him; he hasn’t shown any interest in the neighborhood cats or wildlife.
Brantley can be unsure at first in new environments, but with gentle coaxing and treats, he quickly overcomes any fears, he is such a BRAVE boy!

Brantley is a clean pup and sleeps on his bed at night the entire time.
He rides well in the car; looking around now and then, before laying back down.

Brantley is a happy, solid chunk of a boy with a heart as big as he is! He would love a family that would appreciate all the love and kisses he has to give, where he could sleep on the bed and watch TV on the couch and go for small adventures, he is the perfect wingman.
He truly has a BIG indomitable spirit that you can’t help but to smile when you’re around him.

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.
