My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Oatmeal – The Happy, Wiggly Social Butterfly!
72 lbs | Mastiff Mix | Found in Randolph, MA

Oatmeal is one of those dogs who instantly makes you smile. Found as a stray and sadly never reclaimed, it’s hard to believe anyone let her go — she is truly a gem.

During her evaluation, Oatmeal impressed everyone with her outgoing, people-loving personality. She came right out of her kennel, wiggling with joy, happy to greet her handler, and eager to have her harness put on. She loves treats and already knows sit — and she’s clearly had some training in her past. The moment she heard a clicker, she noticeably settled and offered eye contact, showing just how smart and eager to learn she is.

Oatmeal also met a test dog – a friendly Boxer – and was delighted to say hello. She was excited and goofy at first, showing her playful side with some jumpy “puppy manners,” but she redirected beautifully with food, settled next to him, took treats politely, and even offered a play bow. With continued structure and guidance, she’ll only get better.

Oatmeal’s Best Traits:
• Super social – loves people and dogs
• Food-motivated & trainable
• Knows sit and responds to clicker reinforcement
• Playful, wiggly, and joyful
• Settles quickly once given direction

Ideal Home:
A family or adopter who enjoys an affectionate, fun-loving dog and is willing to continue her basic manners and give her healthy outlets for her enthusiasm. She could do great with a friendly dog companion who appreciates playtime!

Oatmeal is truly special — affectionate, smart, and full of life. If you’re looking for a dog who will make every day a little

Where Your Purchase Helps Support Rescue!

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.
