If you’re looking for a fun, happy-go-lucky companion, Hero is your guy.
Found as a stray in Alabama, this tall, lean sweetheart is now thriving in his foster home and making the most of every day. With his friendly nature and endless enthusiasm, Hero has never met a stranger—he greets everyone with a wagging tail and is always ready to roll over for a belly rub.
Hero interacts politely with children at adoption events and is friendly and playful with other dogs. He isn’t very interested in cats; he may give a curious sniff at first, but quickly loses interest and moves on to more exciting adventures.
Out in the yard, Hero loves to stretch those long legs—his foster mom says he looks like a graceful gazelle when he’s running, especially during his joyful zoomies. But this energetic boy also has a soft, cuddly side. After a good play session, he’s perfectly content to chill on the couch, curl up beside his humans, and soak up affection.
This handsome boy enjoys car rides, loves going for walks, and could play fetch for as long as someone is willing to throw the ball.
Weighing about 45 pounds, Hero is tall, slim, and full of life. His ideal home would be somewhat active and ready for a dog who loves adventure just as much as he loves companionship. He’d do well with other dogs, enjoys kids, and could also thrive as the only dog—as long as he gets to be part of the fun.
Hero is young, energetic, affectionate, and ready to be someone’s best friend.

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.
