My story

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

Located in Massachusetts!

(Note - George is a smallish dog - his photo makes him look much larger!!))

George is a 1.5-year-old, 27-pound mixed breed (DNA testing revealed Terrier, Pekingese, Dachshund, Min Pin, and other breeds).

He’s well-versed in basic clicker training, including commands like sit, place, touch, and target.

George thrives in a calm environment, preferably an all-female household with a confident dog companion. He’s great with kids who are gentle and loves playing with other dogs, especially his canine housemate.

George is not prone to separation anxiety and does well when left alone with the other dog. He sleeps in a crate at night but also enjoys cuddling in bed.

George is exceptionally food-motivated, which helps with training. His favorites include mini milk bones, chicken feet, bully sticks, beef tendons, and the occasional pizza crust.

George really needs a fenced yard to run and play, as he loves getting the zoomies and rolling in the grass.

He is excellent on a leash,

George is currently in a very loving home but has decided that the male in the house is not his friend - this is a kind, gentle human who has worked hard to win George's trust since adoption, but he is just not having it. He hides and is still nervous when his human dad tries to interact with him; his parents are crushed as they adore him and have worked with the Tufts Behavioral team to help with this situation. At this point, it's recommended that he find a new spot to call his own so he's not always on guard.

Strangely, George deems other men trustworthy—his mom's dad comes over and George loves him! Some other men - the same. So it's not a definite "no man home" for George, just has to be one he approves of.

Another happy, confident dog in the home is a must for George. He enjoys their company and will help with his adjustment.

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.
