This handsome guy has a medium energy level and a calm, gentle nature that really shines once he feels safe.
Rumpel does well with other dogs, but he needs slow, proper introductions in a neutral location. When introductions are done correctly, he settles in nicely and can coexist well. He is okay with cats — he may sniff them but then simply walks away and doesn’t bother them further.
He has met children and did okay as long as they respect his boundaries and would do best in a home with older, responsible children (7+ or teens). He is gentle, doesn’t jump on people, and truly just wants to be loved on. He’s also very gentle with adults and seniors, soaking up affection whenever it’s offered.
On leash Rumbel walks well but may pull a bit, especially at first. He travels like a pro — calm in the car, either laying down in the seat or resting quietly in a crate. He is house-trained as long as he’s walked within an 8-hour window and is crate trained, spending time crated while his person is at work or sleeping. Rumpel was rescued from a local shelter by his foster after being attacked by other dogs during feeding time. Despite this rough start, he has shown remarkable resilience and a trusting heart. He is currently fed once a day in the morning and has shown no separation anxiety or aggression issues.
His ideal home would be a fairly active household with a predictable routine — people who work normal hours or from home would be perfect. He enjoys being included in daily life and would love a family who plans to travel with him and continue building his confidence.
If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion who’s ready to leave his past behind and start his happily-ever-after, Rumpel may be your perfect match.

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.
