Say hello to Hickory, the pint-sized pittie with a tender heart and a hilarious personality. He walks beautifully on a leash, loves nothing more than curling up on the couch, and absolutely thrives when playing with his foster dog siblings.
Hickory’s past is mostly unknown, but the moment his foster mom saw his photo, she knew he deserved a chance. Since stepping into what is likely his first real home, he has blossomed into the sweetest, silliest little companion.
Hickory’s personality highlights include: • The Vacuum Chronicles: He isn’t scared of it… no, no. Hickory believes it is his sole responsibility to protect the family from that loud dirt-sucking monster. A noble guardian. • Booty-Scratch Enthusiast: He would like to formally request that booty scratches be provided daily, ideally on demand. • Nighttime Serenades: If he needs a midnight potty break, he gently (and by gently, we mean enthusiastically) howls at you to let you know. His communication skills are impressive.
Every day, Hickory learns a little more about trust, love, and what it feels like to finally be safe. He’s ready for a home that will laugh at his quirks, cherish his sweetness, and keep cheering him on as he grows into the amazing dog he was always meant to be. Each day he opens up a little more, showing his silly, playful, trusting side. Check him out playing with his foster siblings: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eRKWU7wPsvE
This precious boy is fully house-trained and crate-trained, and he’s just fine on leash or during car rides.
Hickory is ready for a family who will continue showing him what safety and kindness feel like. If you’re looking for a snuggly, loyal, perfect sized, easygoing companion, Hickory might just be your boy.

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.
