Big Daddy - a super handsome bully boy! Just look at those gorgeous colors!
This sweet guy had been on the streets in an economically challenged part of Memphis, traveling around with some other dogs. While attempting to trap a female dog, Big Daddy was hanging around, so the rescuers were able to rescue him as well—he went so willingly.
He's now been neutered, vaccinated and is living in a great foster home.
Big Daddy LOVES his toys, treats, and ice cubes! He is a major fan of walks, walking into ponds and lakes and chomping on the water, and going for rides. A fenced yard is highly recommended for him. He likes to be near his people, but will give you your space if you're in the same room. He's not shy to ask for cuddles and pets though! BD is great with older kids.
BD lived with other pups in his southern foster home, but he's since shown us that he'd prefer to be your one and only. He loves cats, but he also thinks they're able to play rough with him...so at his size, we recommend either a no-cat home or separated areas of the home unless supervised.
BD would thrive in a home that has a fairly consistent routine. He sometimes warms up to new people immediately, but sometimes needs a little bribing with treats and slower introductions. When on walks, Big Daddy works hard to protect you from other dogs and some of the people he encounters, so an experienced dog owner would be best.

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.
