Name: Moonlight Marva Age: 6 years of age approx Weight: 11 lbs
Background: Meet Moonlight Marva, a resilient and joyful pup with a heart full of love! Marva was found as a stray in rural Tennessee, bravely dragging herself around despite her severe condition. After X-rays revealed severe bone infections spreading to her hips, it was clear her legs couldn't be saved. However, this courageous girl wasn’t using her legs anyway, so they were removed, and she has adapted wonderfully.
Personality: Marva is a true testament to resilience. Despite her past, she’s a bundle of joy and adorable. Her cheerful disposition is contagious, and she’s always happy to be alive and surrounded by loving people.
Special Care: Marva does require some assistance due to her special needs: Urinating: She needs help with urination, which involves expressing her bladder. This is a simple task, especially given her small size.
Bowel Movements: While Marva can defecate on her own, she lacks control. However, maintaining a regular schedule and a high-quality diet makes this easy to manage.
Why Marva is Special: Don’t let her special needs deter you. Marva can do almost everything other dogs can do; she needs a little extra help. She’s a shining example of perseverance and will bring immense joy to any home willing to give her the love and care she deserves.
Considerations: Marva’s condition requires a compassionate and dedicated owner who can commit to her care routine. In return, you’ll get a loyal and loving companion who will fill your life with joy and gratitude.
Adopt Moonlight Marva: If you’re looking for a dog who embodies the spirit of overcoming adversity and can offer endless love, look no further than Moonlight Marva. Give this special girl the forever home she deserves; she’ll reward you with unconditional love and happiness.

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.
