My story

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

Nestle is a senior southern gentleman who is one of the many dogs from Meadow Rescue in Memphis - their caretaker for many many years passed away leaving approx 65 dogs. Walter was an official greeter to the rescue.

Paws New England took in many, mostly the seniors from this group because we just love them.

Nestle is in a foster home now and has done great with humans and the other dogs (some of whom he knows of course).


Nestle is a wonderful companion. He loves to be loved - a true sweetheart!

Nestle would do best with a family who is home a lot and has a dog sibling to keep Nestlé company when they are out running occasional errands. If you are retired or work from home - that would be the perfect situation for Nestle.
Nestlé loves to be loved. A true sweetheart.

If you would like to know more about this handsome and sweet older guy, please put in an application.

We've had his veterinary needs met including vaccines, neuter and all that stuff - he tested positive for heartworm but has gotten treatment. As a senior dog, he may need things in the future so need a family/person who understands that.

If you've not ever adopted or had a senior dog, there's nothing quite like it. Please consider giving it a try.

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.
