My story

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

Meet Cowboy - Local Foster in New England!

Cowboy is an affectionate and loyal companion who would make a fantastic addition to any home. Originally adopted as a young puppy, Cowboy has grown into a smart, loving dog with many wonderful qualities. Recently, his family reached out because Cowboy isn’t happy sharing his space with their small dog, leading to some tension. So now, we’re looking for a forever home where Cowboy can thrive as the only pet.

Here’s why Cowboy is such a catch:

Human Loving: Cowboy absolutely adores his humans. Whether watching football or just hanging out, he’s happy being by your side, soaking up all the love and attention.

Kid-Friendly: Cowboy has lived with children who adore him and is wonderful with them in return.

No Crate Needed: This well-mannered boy doesn’t need to be crated when left alone. He’s not destructive and knows how to behave in the house—no chewing on things he shouldn’t!

Smart & Well-Trained: Cowboy’s got some great manners! He’ll wait patiently for the “okay” before eating, lets you know when he needs to go out by nudging his leash, and sits politely when you pick up his leash, knowing it’s almost time for a walk.

We can’t wait to find Cowboy a home where he’ll be the star. He’s ready to settle into his forever family and deserves all the love and stability he can get!

Where Your Purchase Helps Support Rescue!

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.
