My story

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

Meet Junior- a sweet, playful, and funny shepherd mix who has the most beautiful brownish-red coat and a happy clownish behavior.

Junior’s owner past away unexpectedly and he needed to be rehomed quickly.

This boy loves having human attention; will follow you everywhere. He enjoys giving and receiving kisses and
likes to nibble on your hands and feet. However, foster mom is working on him being a bit gentler with it.

Junior absolutely loves to play with other dogs. His play style is both gentle and rough. When he plays with dogs he plays according to the vibe of the other dog. He can lay down and play gentle, or he can run around and tackle. He can be a couch potato too!!
He is good with children and rides well in the car.

He is learning basic commands and will sit automatically when he gets a treat, taking it so gently. Since he was without food for some time after his owners passing, he gets so excited and dances all around when the food bowl comes out.
and then runs into his kennel when its time to eat.
He does not have any food aggression towards humans or animals. However, he does try to push the other dogs away from their bowls when he is finished, so best to keep him separated until everyone is done.
 
Junior sleeps very well at night. He lays on his bed and doesn't want to start his day too early. 
He has not chewed anything in the house. He is housetrained and can be trusted in the house not to chew anything that he should not.
Leash training is in process. 

He is still very skittish with loud noises and fast unexpected movements. New people coming in the house initially scare him, but he has made big improvements in the weeks he has been at his foster home.

If you're searching for a handsome, happy, affectionate, and well-behaved companion, Junior might just be the perfect match for you.

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.
