My story

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

Pee Wee - prairie dog or ??

An adorable 10 yo little one-eyed wonder, PeeWee finds herself in need of a home after her daddy, Mike, passed away . Mike was a great dad and good friend to rescue so we are going to repay him but finding his senior girl a home in New England.

PeeWee lost her eye recently - actually protecting her dad when the EMT’s came to get him and she was injured accidentally. She has acclimated just fine.

She may enjoy being an only dog - she can be a bit grumbly with some dogs in her foster home but she does gets along. She’s wonderful with her foster mom’s granddaughters. Seems to bark at her husband initially but gets better.

Who can help us by giving this sweet thing a new home?

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.
