My story

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

Meet Gigi !
Gigi is a Labradoodle who was given a heartbreaking start in life. She was one of many dogs abandoned by a local breeder and was left on a rural road in the heat of summer when she was only four months old. Thankfully, Gigi found her way to safety and into a loving foster home. In foster care, Gigi quickly bonded with her foster mom and fell in love with the other rescued dogs in the home, all waiting for their own forever families.

Gigi has a fun, social personality and sometimes struggles to decide whether she wants to play with her four-legged friends or be petted by the humans around her—she truly enjoys both. She has played well with dogs of all sizes, from a Saint Bernard mix to Chihuahuas.

Gigi has attended training classes and understands basic commands, though she will need continued reminders and consistency. She is highly food-motivated and loves her treats and meals. She crates well and is comfortable resting there, although she occasionally asks for extra playtime after coming in from outdoor fun, especially with both younger and senior dogs in her foster home.

She would love the opportunity to relax on the sofa or lie beside her person on the floor—something she hasn’t been able to do yet due to the number of foster dogs in her current home.

Gigi is still working on house training. While she does well in her crate and knows to go outside to relieve herself, she will benefit from a regular routine. She is also a bit of a counter surfer and knows exactly where food preparation happens. Gigi has not lived with children but been exposed to children around 7 years old and did well.

She could be happy as an only dog with someone who has time to devote to her, or in a home with another friendly dog. While she enjoys canine companionship, Gigi truly loves her human interactions and would thrive in a home where she can be an included and cherished family member.

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.
