Say hello to Debo, the lovable senior gentleman with a heart that’s still full of puppy joy!
At 11 years old, Debo arrived at a Mississippi shelter after being left behind by his previous family and was never claimed. Even after all he’s been through, he showed nothing but warmth—walking right up to the shelter staff, tail wagging, eager for affection and connection.
Debo is the kind of dog who reminds you why seniors are so special. He has the soul of an old friend, but the spirit of a younger pup. He still loves to run and play, and he absolutely lights up when he’s with people.
He’s house- and crate-trained, walks well on a leash, and has gotten along well with the other dogs. When he’s really happy, he can get a little jumpy—his way of saying, “I’m so excited to love you!”
This sweet boy is searching for a calm, comfy home where his golden years can be filled with comfort, warmth, and companionship. \
If you’re ready to open your heart and let a gentle, joyful senior dog become part of your life, Debo is waiting with open paws.

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.
