Lucky is a 6-year-old Heeler who was adopted as a young puppy in 2020 and is now looking for a new forever home due to changed family circumstances, through no fault of his own. He’s currently around 85 lbs and is doing well on a structured weight-loss journey, so his future family will need to be committed to continuing healthy routines, regular walks, and mindful portions.
Lucky previously lived with cats and did well with them. While he was not socialized with other dogs early in life, he has made great progress in his foster home and is doing well with calm dogs when introductions are slow and thoughtful. He has no prior experience with children, so any potential match should keep that in mind.
In his foster home, Lucky is thriving. He is housebroken, shows good manners, and is actively working on improving his obedience skills. He benefits from structure and consistency and continues to show how eager he is to learn.
One of Lucky’s most endearing traits is his love of “conversation” with his people, especially when he believes his meal is late or that he urgently deserves a treat right now. His expressive personality, sweet nature, and growing confidence make him a truly special companion.
Lucky is looking for a patient, committed home that will support his continued progress, celebrate his milestones, and give him the loving second chance he deserves.
🍀 Good with calm dogs with slow introductions 🍀 Lived successfully with cats 🍀 Housebroken 🍀 Leash Trained 🍀 On a successful weight-loss journey 🍀 Working on obedience skills 🍀 Big personality, bigger heart
If you’re ready to invest in Lucky’s health, happiness, and future, he’s ready to be your loyal sidekick 💙

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.
