David is a true southern gentleman with a heart full of love. He’s one of the many dogs rescued from Meadow Rescue in Memphis after their longtime caretaker passed away, leaving behind 65 beloved pups. Paws New England stepped in to help, especially the seniors—because they know just how special they are.
Now living in a foster home, David has blossomed. He’s gentle, affectionate, and gets along beautifully with people and other dogs (some of whom he already knew). He’s also cat-friendly and walks like a dream on a leash. House-trained and a solid sleeper through the night, David is easy to live with and even easier to love.
💛 What David Wants Most David thrives in a calm, quiet home with a fenced yard for safe outdoor time—but his favorite place is right by your side. He’s a classic “velcro dog,” happiest when he’s part of the family and included in your day-to-day life.
🐶 David has always lived with other dogs. He thrives in the company of canine companions and may feel anxious if left alone for extended periods.
🕰️ If there are no other dogs in the home, it’s important that his adopter is home more often than not. David is a sensitive soul and can become quite anxious when left alone for long stretches.
🏡 Mobility considerations: David can manage a few steps, but he is unable to navigate full staircases due to arthritis. He’s currently on medication and will be going for a veterinary assessment this Tuesday to explore additional options for pain relief and comfort.
💙 Ideal environment: A home with easy access (no stairs), a calm atmosphere, and either another friendly dog or a human companion who’s frequently present would be ideal for David’s continued happiness and well-being.
✨ Why Adopt a Senior? If you’ve never adopted a senior dog, you’re in for something truly special. Their gratitude, calm presence, and deep bond are unlike anything else. David is ready to give that kind of love—he just needs someone to give him a chance.

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.
