Meet Lilliput, the tiny dynamo with a heart of gold! This Chihuahua mix is on a quest to find her forever family, one that understands her need for time—to settle, to trust, and to shine. Rescued from a past marred by abuse, Lilliput may be small, but her spirit is mighty.
Under the patient care of her foster mom, Lilliput is gradually opening up, letting down the walls built to protect her tender heart. She's a contender for the role of the Energizer Bunny, always ready for walks and endless playtime. You'll often find her cuddled up with her stuffed dinosaur—her emotional support dino—in her cozy crate, her safe haven.
While housebreaking is a work in progress, Lilliput is clever, and with a little more time and patience, she's bound to master it. She embodies the essence of rescue, learning to trust and to give and receive love, despite the scars of her past.
If you're a fan of kisses, Lilliput has plenty to share. She thrives in an environment that respects her need for space to decompress and avoids situations that make her uneasy. With another small, submissive dog as a companion, she'll flourish, relishing in endless playtime. However, she prefers to steer clear of young children, as their energy can be overwhelming for her.
Lilliput is a gem waiting to sparkle in the right home. Will you be the one to help her discover all the beauty and love that the world has to offer? Her happily ever after awaits, and she can't wait to embark on that journey with you.

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.
