My story

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

Meet Ulani, a sweet and loving companion ready to find her forever home!

Ulani is a happy girl who loves to run and play outdoors, and she gets along great with the two kids in her foster home, ages 9 and 13. She enjoys toys, chewing on bones, and is always up for some affectionate snuggles.
While she loves being around her people, she is also content to relax on her own in a comfy dog bed or your lap.

Ulani spent her previous life chained in a yard 24/7 through all extremes of weather. She obviously did not have much access to food as she was very emaciated when finally rescued.

This lovely lady is now housetrained and has free reign of her foster home during the day, but she also goes into her crate willingly when needed.
Ulani does have some work to do on leash manners, as she tends to pull with excitement and wants to explore everywhere.

Though Ulani is a wonderful companion, she doesn’t do well with other dogs and would thrive best as the only pet in the household.
She also experiences anxiety during thunderstorms and needs a little extra care. When storms are brewing, her foster keeps her in a covered kennel partially tucked into a closet to help her feel safe.
Trazodone is used to manage her anxiety when needed, but she’s generally calm when it’s just light rain.

Ulani is looking for a patient and loving home where she can truly flourish as your one and only.
Could that be with 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.
