Meet Jake, the resilient and loving blonde boy with a heart of gold. Jake's journey began on the streets of a small rural town in Mississippi, where he earned the endearing nickname "The Sonic Dog" for his daily visits to the local fast food joint, spreading joy and receiving treats from the staff and patrons alike.
However, Jake's life took a turn when he was discovered walking with a limp and suffering from paraphimosis, a condition where his penis wouldn't retract. A compassionate foster immediately took him in, recognizing his need for urgent medical attention. It was then revealed that Jake had been a victim of violence, having been shot and left with a bullet lodged near his spine, causing nerve damage and urinary/bowel control issues.
Thanks to dedicated care and treatment, Jake's health improved, and he found solace in the loving embrace of his foster home. Though he requires assistance with bladder expression every about 4 hours (he is ok overnight), it's a simple procedure (you just press on his belly) that doesn't hinder his zest for life. His bowel control issues are also manageable -- He goes around the same time every day.
Despite his past hardships, Jake's spirit remains unbroken. He exudes boundless affection for everyone he meets and cherishes simple pleasures like walks on a leash, basking in the sun, and snuggling with his foster mom on the couch. He is living with and does fantastic with children.
While Jake gets along well with female dogs, he may be selective around males due to past experiences. He also values his space during mealtime, likely a remnant of his survival instincts from his time on the streets. He needs to be fed away from other pets and children.
Jake's resilient spirit and unwavering love make him an ideal companion for a forever family ready to embrace him with open arms. He's eager to embark on the next chapter of his life, bringing joy and companionship wherever he goes.

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.
