My story

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

Sophie!

She looks super serious, but she's loaded with personality.

Meet Sophie, the fluffiest sweet and sour patch kid you’ll ever meet! Once a stray on the streets of Memphis, she was saved just in time, and boy, is she making up for lost time with her charm.


House AND crate trained (though she's more of a “free-range” kinda gal). No mischief while her foster works, as long as you keep your shoes out of reach – flip flops = chew toys in Sophie’s world.

The warning: Hide. Your. Footwear. You’ve been warned.

Personality:
Cuddle bug one moment, playful tornado the next.
LOVES to wrestle with her foster siblings but is learning when to hit the brakes.

Adventures:
Car rides? Yes, please!
Walks? Heck yeah! (She’s a bit of a puller at first but settles down like a pro.)
Dog daycare? Party time!

Her dream home:
Sophie’s got energy to spare and would love an active family and a four-legged sibling to wrestle and zoom around with. She’s all about the action-packed life – are you up for the fun?

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.
