My story

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

Meet Sammie Boy, a playful and adventurous pup who's ready to bring joy and excitement to your life!

Sammie’s story took a turn when a concerned motel guest overheard his previous owner planning to abandon him due to housing issues. Fortunately, one of our dedicated fosters stepped in, giving Sammie the second chance he deserves.

Sammie is a spirited and active boy who thrives in a lively environment. He loves playing with his foster siblings and soaking up attention from his favorite people. He's looking for a home with another dog to play with and an active family to keep up with his boundless energy.

Sammie’s adventurous spirit means he needs a secure yard with a solid stockade or vinyl fence, as he's been known to scale six-foot chain link fences with ease. In unfenced areas, a long lead will be necessary until he masters recall training.

Sammie is a food lover, making him highly trainable with treats. He's not food aggressive with people and is comfortable with food bowl handling, but he prefers to eat separately from other dogs.

Car rides are one of Sammie’s favorite things—he’s always ready to jump in and accompany you on your next adventure. While he’s not fond of being confined in a crate, a tasty treat can often persuade him to settle down. Sammie prefers to be where the action is but is learning that sometimes, the best adventures begin from the comfort of his crate.

If you're looking for a loyal, energetic, and fun-loving companion, Sammie Boy is ready to join you on all of life’s adventures. Don’t miss out on the chance to make him a part of your family!

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.
