My story

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

Meet Lucinda (Lucy)!

Lucy’s journey hasn’t been easy, but her resilience and loving heart shine through. She wandered up to a kind stranger, frightened and injured, with wounds on her face and leg. Thanks to medical care and the patience of her foster family, Lucy has healed beautifully—both inside and out—and is now ready to find a forever home of her own.

Lucy is a gentle soul with a tender heart. She may start out a little shy, but once she feels safe, she blossoms into the ultimate “velcro dog.” Her favorite place to be is right by her person’s side—whether it’s snuggling on the couch, showering you with kisses, or just keeping you company throughout the day.

Lucy does beautifully with other dogs but would also be perfectly content as the star of the show in a home where she’s the only pup. She’s crate trained (she’ll even go in on command!), housetrained, and walks nicely on leash—though she may pull a little when her excitement takes over. Lucy also rides like a pro in the car and loves every trip.

Because of her past, Lucy can sometimes feel a little anxious, especially in busy outdoor settings with multiple dogs, and she may be vocal at first when kenneled. Mealtime is another big highlight of her day—she gets very enthusiastic about her food! Feeding her in her kennel works best and keeps her happy and comfortable.

Lucy has a low energy level and is happiest simply being near her humans. Her ideal home would be one where she can spend lots of time with her family and feel safe and loved.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will stick by your side through thick and thin, Lucy is ready to fill your life with love and cuddles.

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.
