My story

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

Meet Scout, a happy, well-adjusted boy who enjoys life and people and is eager to please.

This handsome boy had a rough start to life. For the first year of his life, he was tied to a tree with very little human interaction or guidance. His family didn’t have the time or ability to train him, and his playful jumping unintentionally caused problems with their younger children. Thankfully, Scout was rescued from that situation and given the second chance he truly deserves.

In his foster home, Scout has shown what a joyful, affectionate dog he truly is. He loves people and thrives on attention, playtime, and engagement.

He does well with other dogs and enjoys canine companionship, especially with dogs that can match his energy and play style. He would do best in a home with active dog friends rather than older dogs or those who are reactive. Because of his enthusiasm and playfulness level, Scout is better suited for a home with older, dog-savvy children.

Scout is a fairly quiet dog who isn’t much of a barker and is housetrained using a doggie door. While he doesn’t need to be crated, he is kennel trained and settles well. His favorite things include playing with toys, earning treats, and heading out for car rides—anything that lets him be part of the action and close to his people.

Leash walking is Scout’s biggest work-in-progress, which is completely understandable given his past. He is learning that walks can be calm and enjoyable, and with kind, fear-free handling and positive reinforcement, he continues to improve. He’s currently using a Gentle Leader and has already learned to sit and heel fairly well, showing just how eager he is to learn when given patience and kindness.

Scout is a loving, fun-spirited dog who has already overcome so much. He’s ready for a patient, understanding home that will continue building his confidence and helping him grow into the wonderful companion he’s meant to be. With love, guidance, and consistency, Scout will reward his forever family with unwavering loyalty, joyful energy, and endless tail wags.

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.
