My story

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

Meet Rory! This girl has the most beautiful grey/green eyes and the cutest freckles on her legs and stomach. And her tail doesn’t stop wagging.

Rory was found with another canine, Lorelei (also for adoption), on a stormy Memphis day. Hungry and wet, the rescue had no trouble getting them to shelter. This girl had significant skin issues that TLC and proper nutrition have lead to healing. Since being with her foster she has been separated from Lorelei for training.

Rory is an energetic girl, but is shy around people right now and will roll on her side or lie flat. Her shyness doesn’t last long if you show her that you are a trusted human and it always help if you have a treat to give her. She would love a family who wants to keep working on her shyness and command training. Her treat motivation will definitely assist with both of those things.

It appears that Rory had never been in a house or crate before being rescued. She is now learning crate and house manners.

Rory runs and plays with the other dogs in her foster home and is cat curious, but not aggressive

This girl would enjoy a family with another dog to play with or a family who wants an adventure buddy by day and cuddle buddy by night.

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.
