Introducing Soldier again! This charming southern gentleman is a one-year-old pup bursting with potential and affection. Fully house-trained and a pro at crate time, Soldier is a dream companion. However, his youthful exuberance sometimes leads him astray, so he's best suited to a home where he can be safely crated when left alone to avoid any mischief with non-toy items.
Soldier is a sensitive soul who thrives in calm environments, so a quieter neighborhood without bustling foot traffic would suit him best. He tends to get a bit anxious with too much commotion, often expressing his concern through vocal reminders at the window. But with a little patience and understanding, he's learning to navigate the world with more confidence, especially with the help of a gentle leader head halter during walks.
To truly see Soldier shine, he must have a fenced-in yard where he can stretch his legs and play freely. While he enjoys leash walks, nothing beats the joy of romping around with a furry friend. Another dog of similar size would be an ideal playmate to help him burn off that excess energy.
He's young so hikes on leash (for now) would be fabulous for him - a backyard is crucial for him to have daily time outside romping with a friend but nothing beats true exercise!!
Soldier is a foodie at heart, so he relishes any opportunity for food-motivated enrichment activities like scavenger hunts and food puzzles.
Despite his initial shyness, Soldier is a sweetheart with a soft spot for children. He gets along famously with his foster family's young ones and their canine crew, including a black lab and two terriers. However, his play style can be a tad vigorous, so he appreciates gentle reminders when playtime needs to wind down.

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.
