My story

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

Fritz is now in a local New England foster home!!!!

Adorable Fritz was taken off the Euthanasia list at the Memphis Animal Shelter just in time—it was his day—not because he was a bad dog but because they needed space.  It still happens every day...so sad.

Fritz did wonderfully in his foster home in Memphis. His foster mom absolutely fell in love with him. He loved to put his head on her leg to get her attention and some love.

When he arrived to New England, the trainer at his boarding facility said that he did well in daycare with the other dogs. He liked the small dogs to play with and fun-loving retrievers and seemed to take corrections from both humans and dogs alike.

Fritz is a deaf boy and has learned several commands in short order at his foster home that specializes in deaf puppers. He learned 'sit' in just a few short weeks at his first New England foster home where he was quite beloved before heading to our deaf pup expert.

Fritz is a big snuggler and total couch potato. He wants to be on you, against you and have you in his line of sight, but despite this outpouring of love, he's not clingy - he wants to be with you but is happy chewing on a bone nearby.

Fritz is just a handsome one blue-eyed, low maintenance fella that will truly be a great BFF!!

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.
