My story

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

Darla is a beautiful Airedale–Poodle mix who recently arrived in New England and is currently fostering in the Boston area.

She was rescued from Memphis after her former family faced a situation they couldn’t safely manage. Darla is an athletic girl and learned she could clear a five-foot fence, which led to unsupervised neighborhood adventures. In an area where roaming dogs are at real risk, her family made the loving decision to help her find a safer, more suitable home.

Darla is wonderful with children and does well with other dogs. She previously lived with young kids and especially enjoys their company. She’s affectionate, social, and happiest when she’s included in the family.

Her Airedale–Poodle mix means Darla is low-shedding, which is a plus for many adopters. She’s even more impressive in person than in photos, and she’s settling into her foster home nicely. She appears to be house-trained and is enjoying the attention and routine she’s receiving.

A fenced yard is not required for Darla, but if she does have access to one, it should be at least six feet high, and she should always be supervised while outside. She would also do well with an adopter committed to providing regular exercise and mental stimulation.

Darla is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and ready to find her forever home. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and engaging companion, Darla could be the 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.
