My story

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

Are you ready to add a bundle of joy to your family? Look no further than Tank, the adorable male puppy with a heart full of love.

Tank is a friendly, affectionate, and loyal pup who loves to play, cuddle, and give kisses. He's a quick learner, gentle, and smart, making him a joy to be around. His curious nature means he'll keep you on your toes as he explores new places and sniffs out new smells.

Tank is an excellent swimmer and brave puppy who loves the water. He has a lot of energy, loves to run and play, and is always up for a walk or a game of fetch. Tank is very fond of his foster mom and enjoys napping with her. He is very gentle, loves kids, and has gotten along with every dog he has met.
He has a lot of personality. He is very funny and makes the best expressions.

He is working on house training. He is a great listener and has already learned how to sit on command. Like all puppies, he will need continued training to be the best boy he can be!

Tank will do great with an active family. He would love to go on walks, jogs, or tails, and adventures with his new family. He is a very sweet puppy and will make a wonderful addition to his forever family.

ATTENTION PUPPY ADOPTERS:  You will be required to attend training/behavior classes with your new dog unless you are experienced dog owners and your adoption coordinator is comfortable with your experience.  This requirement is for the benefit of you and your puppy so if you experience behavior issues you have a point of contact.  

PLEASE - Think long and hard before adopting a puppy - consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with - he cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours at a time until he's older, puppy proofing your home will be necessary, puppies scratch and nip so if you have small children, can they handle this?? Training will be so important in this puppy's life, do you have the time??

Please consider purchasing this book before adopting.  Perfect Puppy in 7 Days - How to Start Your Puppy Off Right, Sophia Yin, DVM - it is an amazing book that we recommend very highly and have had amazing feedback on.

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.
