My story

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

Meet Sky!
Sky’s story is one of resilience and new beginnings. Found as a stray in poor health, she required life-saving surgery and some much-needed TLC. With the care of her foster family, Sky gained back her strength, her sparkle—and a few healthy pounds! Now, this affectionate, goofy girl is thriving and ready to find her forever home.

Sky has a medium energy level and loves to play with other dogs. Wrestling, running, and then curling up for a nap is her idea of a perfect day. She’s friendly with every dog she’s met and would be happiest in a home with another playful pup.

She’s fully house trained, crate trained, and rides beautifully in the car—sometimes she even claims the passenger seat like a pro co-pilot! On leash, Sky walks well, though she can pull a little when she gets excited (she’s working on her manners).

Sky is a true people dog. She loves to be close to her humans and would thrive in a home where she can be included in daily activities, walks, and adventures. Her ideal family will enjoy her affectionate nature and be ready for a loyal companion who wants to be part of the action.

If you’re looking for a sweet, social, and playful pup who’s overcome her rough start and is ready to live life to the fullest, Sky might just be your perfect match.

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.
