My story

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

Meet Eugene, a brave boy on the road to recovery! Rescued from a rural shelter near New Albany, Mississippi, Eugene found himself in a tough spot—sitting in the shelter for an extended time with his euthanization date fast approaching. Thankfully, a kind-hearted friend reached out, and after seeing his photos, we couldn’t say no.

Eugene is currently in foster care, healing from old and new wounds. He has a deformity on his right front paw, the cause of which is still a mystery—either an old injury or a hereditary condition, but he does walk normally. Despite his challenges, Eugene is a resilient soul.

This sweet boy is understandably scared, especially around men, but his dedicated foster is already working with him to build his confidence. With patience and love, Eugene will blossom into the wonderful companion he was always meant to be.

If you’re interested in giving Eugene a loving home, please feel free to apply now.

We’re looking for someone who understands that healing takes time and will be patient as he grows. Thank you for considering this special boy!

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.
