Meet Jenkins — the soft-hearted sweetheart just waiting to shine!
Jenkins’ journey hasn’t been the easiest. When he arrived at a southern shelter in late July, life as he knew it had suddenly changed. It was clear he had probably once known the comforts of a home, and adjusting to life in a kennel was overwhelming for him. He came in stressed and unsure of his surroundings, and on top of that, he was dealing with skin issues that made him feel even more uncomfortable.
But Jenkins is a fighter. With time, care, and plenty of love, he has been healing both physically and emotionally. He walks beautifully on a leash and though he perks up at the sight of a squirrel, he’s happy to just keep an eye from afar.
And while Jenkins may be dubbed an almost senior, his zest for life says differently. Since coming to his northern foster, he’s unleashed his inner snuggler and playful spirit. He loves to keep an eye on where his foster mom is at all times, unless he hears the flap of the dog door and then he’s off to play with his canine friends! He’s done great with energetic and one cranky female dog pal, reading signs from his housemates well!
Jenkins can be hesitant to warm up to people at first, which is no surprise given his previous circumstances, but once he trusts you best of luck getting him to leave your side (or lap)! He does well left at home without humans, even just chilling quietly on the living room couch while his foster humans work in their home office.
If you’re looking for a sweet boy with a heart of gold, Jenkins is your guy. He’s so ready to love — he just needs someone to choose him as you can see here: https://youtu.be/Zu-p-INvt1g?si=BlgApAs9ny6rHwh0

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.
