Meet Lanny — the brave boy with a soft heart and a story that shows just how much love can change a life. 💛
Lanny is a year-old Terrier mix that was found lying in the grass skinny, hungry, and terrified of humans. Gaining his trust took time, patience, and a lot of treats — and even then, getting him to safety meant gentle coaxing because he would run whenever he got scared. Slow but sure, Lanny decided that maybe not all humans are bad… and that’s when everything changed.
Today, he’s opened up into a playful, energetic, sweet pup who LOVES to run and has done well playing with other dogs. His goofy side comes out more every day.
Loud noises still worry him, and sudden movements can make him cower — he’s still learning that the world is safe. He’ll need someone who can give him stability, structure, and continued training. The rescue has already helped him learn to trust, and he’s ready for someone patient and loving to keep building on that progress.
Because of his past, Lanny should be fed separately from other dogs — but once mealtime is over, he’s all wiggles again.
Lanny has come such a long way, and he’s ready for a home that will appreciate his gentle soul, celebrate his courage, and show him what it feels like to be truly loved.

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.
