Roan’s story is one of true resilience. This sweet young girl survived being struck by a car, suffering major injuries that included fractures in both back legs, her pelvis, and her jaw. Thanks to a compassionate stranger who rushed her to safety, she was able to enter our rescue and get the urgent care she needed.
After several surgeries — one of which required the amputation of a rear leg — Roan proved just how tough she is. Life on three legs hasn’t slowed her down whatsoever; she runs, plays, and embraces every day with unbelievable enthusiasm. She’s estimated to have been born around December 23, 2024 and weighs 45 pounds, which should be her full adult size.
She is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up to date on heartworm and flea prevention.
Roan is wonderful with other dogs and loves kids, though her excited play style might be a bit too rambunctious for very young children. She’s curious about cats but doesn’t react to them during leash walks. She’s kennel trained, walks beautifully on leash, enjoys car rides, and is an absolute water lover — a kiddie pool is her happy place!
Her foster home’s fenced yard has been a dream for her; she spends her days zooming around, lounging in the sun, and splashing to her heart’s content. Because she thrives with room to play safely, a secure fenced yard is an absolute requirement for her forever family.
Roan isn’t just a survivor — she’s a joyful, spirited dog who radiates gratitude and zest for life. She’s eager to share her happiness, affection, and fun-loving nature with a family of her own. Whether you’re seeking an adventure buddy or a loving companion, Roan is ready to fill your home with energy and love.
If you’re searching for a brave, affectionate, and vibrant dog who has conquered the odds, Roan could be the perfect addition to your family.

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.
