My story

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

Introducing Tia, the crate champ with a sunny disposition and a heart of gold!

Tia's mastery of the crate makes her a standout star, providing her with a cozy retreat she adores. However, when left alone in a room, her mischievous side may surface, particularly when it comes to chewing. Yet, with the right chew toy, like a Kong stuffed with tasty treats, Tia happily entertains herself for hours on end.

When guests arrive, Tia's demeanor remains calm and collected. She's a social butterfly, effortlessly charming strangers and making fast friends with her warm and welcoming nature. Tia is more than happy to bask in the company of her human friends. Tia COULD live with another dog, but she isn't much interested in playing with them, and she is a dominant personality. She could live with another dog who isn't all that interested in playing and bonding!

Beyond her delightful personality, Tia enjoys indulging in some outdoor pleasures, such as munching on grass and soaking up the sun. Despite initially being a flight risk, she's learned to relax outdoors, especially knowing she can return inside whenever she pleases.

Tia's journey began when she and her sister Tamara were found roaming the streets of Memphis. Thanks to the intervention of an incredible foster mom and the dedication of our trainer, Tia and her sister have blossomed into well-adjusted and loving companions. Their initial meeting with the trainer left a lasting impression, with both dogs displaying remarkable composure and a genuine affection for people.

While Tia and her sister have thrived together in foster care, they are ready to embark on their own journeys. Separation has proven to be stress-free for both girls, affirming their readiness to find their forever homes independently.

Housebroken, quiet, and simply wonderful, Tia is the perfect addition to any loving family. Could you be the one to welcome this exceptional pup into your life?

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.
