Hitcher has an interesting story to tell - he traveled all the way from Florida to Tennessee and we have no idea how he did it.
Hitcher was found as a stray just outside Memphis. Amazingly, he was microchipped, and his dad answered the email letting him know that his dog had been found. At first, he was very excited to hear that his dog had been found, and we were thrilled. Sadly, the happiness was short-lived, as his dad then said he really couldn't take him back, so, for now, he is all ours.
When he was found, it was obvious that he had a right front leg issue - an x-ray showed a complete fracture of his lower leg. We wonder how long he has traveled in that condition, and it breaks our hearts. He's been evaluated, and a surgical repair of the fracture is scheduled.
As he's pretty new to us, we are just getting to know him; so far, he's doing well with the other dogs in the house, even while in what has to be some decent pain.
He's a lovely boy and deserves a human who would travel across the country to get him back!
As we get to know him better, we will add more information here!

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.
