My story

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

Willamina is a calm and chill dog that can be also be spunky and fun-loving when she wants to be.

This precious girl was found by a Good Samaritan as a stray in rural Mississippi. It was immediately noted that she had indentations on the right side of her head. A local vet felt that she may have had some sort of head trauma, but you would never know it because she is otherwise completely a normal dog!!
Willa was also extremely underweight and at first, she seemed very wary of humans.

A southern foster home was found for her and with TLC, she has begun to come out of her shell and show her truly wonderful personality. Such a transformation!!

This girl now gets along well with dogs and loves to play!! She has not yet been exposed to kids, so we will say older children for now. Foster is confident that with her relaxed personality, she should be ok.

Willamina is working on crate and house training and she is progressing nicely.

If you want to be a part of her continued transition to becoming a loved family member living in a safe and secure home, Willa is your gal.
And you will be rewarded with a lifelong sweet and adoring companion.

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.
