Meet Pemi — a stunning 4-year-old shepherd mix with those giant ears and a whole lot of heart. 🐾💛
Pemi was originally a Paws New England puppy and was recently returned through no fault of her own. She deeply loves her family, but due to food-related resource guarding, she needs a home without children. A difficult incident occurred when a toddler crawled toward her food, and her family made the heartbreaking but responsible decision to put her safety needs first.
Pemi is currently in a week-long training and evaluation program and is absolutely shining. She’s smart, eager to learn, and very responsive to guidance. She knows her basic commands, listens well, and truly wants to do the right thing.
While her early exposure to other dogs was limited, she’s gaining confidence. Pemi prefers her space and isn’t a “dog-in-my-face” kind of girl, so she should be the only dog at home. That said, she’s a fantastic hiker, can be off-leash, and is able to pass people and dogs calmly. Her trainer is addressing some leash reactivity, and she’s proving to be an excellent student.
✔️ Crate trained ✔️ Perfectly house trained ✔️ Loyal, intelligent, and devoted
Pemi deserves a second chance—and we are committed to helping her find the right fit. If you’re an adult household looking for a breathtakingly beautiful, deeply loyal companion to share hikes, adventures, and quiet evenings, Pemi may be the one you’ve been waiting for. 💫
Please consider opening your heart and home to this very special girl.

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.
