My story

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

Meet Felicia!
Felicia is a beautiful, friendly mixed-breed girl with a heart full of love and loyalty. Once found on a rural highway with her two puppies, she landed in a shelter where her little ones quickly found homes. Now it’s mama’s turn to find her forever family!

Felicia is the best of both worlds—so sweet and affectionate with people, and social with other dogs of all shapes and sizes. She currently lives in a foster home with multiple pups and does great with them all. Whether she has canine siblings or is the only dog in the home, what Felicia truly wants is companionship and plenty of love from her humans.

This smart girl is house-trained with a doggie door, does well in a crate for short periods, and has already completed a basic manners obedience class.
She’s a good learner but can get a little excited when she first heads out on leash—something she’s working on. She’s also taken short car rides like a champ, though longer trips make her queasy.

Felicia thrives on attention and would be happiest in a home where she isn’t left alone for long stretches—perfect for a semi-retired person or someone who works from home.
With a little daily exercise and playtime outside, she settles beautifully as an indoor companion, always eager to share her love.

Just look at her beautiful eyes and you will see how much joy she will bring to a caring committed furever home.
If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will shower you with affection, belly-up for tummy rubs, and be a true partner in life’s adventures, Felicia is your girl!

Here are a couple of videos of when she started with her basic training:

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.
