My story

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

Margo is a resilient and gentle young female Pit Bull who has had quite the journey. Found as a stray in Memphis, she was rescued by a kind-hearted vet tech who noticed Margo was having issues "pooping." Margo was diagnosed with a rectal prolapse, a very painful and dangerous condition. She has undergone repair of the prolapse - it was a tough surgery, but she has finally recovered and so far seems to be doing great.

To say this dog is almost perfect is not an overstatement - her foster raves about her - she is so wonderful with her little girl it's insane. She's still nervous in new settings but they are working on that now that she's healed from her surgery.

Margo is a compact and muscle-y babe who looks like she weighs less than she does!

Why Adopt Margo? Everyone should have a house hippo. End of story.

Let's get this angel into her new home - she's had a long, tough road. Apply today to bring Margo into your life!

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.
