My story

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

Meet sweet Cobby, whose heart is as big as his gentle personality!!!

This sweet boy is searching for his forever family after a rough start to life. Found alone and emaciated outside, Cobby was covered in mange and had barely any fur, but a kind passerby spotted him and felt that he was reaching out for help, which he promptly received.

After rescue, Cobby was sent to an amazing southern foster home. He was adjusting and then one beautiful day his foster mom decided to start him with some leash training, but he wanted nothing to do with it and fractured his rear leg jumping and rolling to attempt to have it taken off.
His leg was splinted and being monitored at the local vet office when he then developed a case of parvo. Just one thing after another for this poor pup.

Fast forward a few weeks and now this boy is healthy and thriving with a playful spirit and a deep love for affection. He is very lovable to “his person”.

He is still shy and timid at first with new people. No aggression.... just backs up until he knows he is safe. As far as other dogs, he was a bit afraid of them and not sure how to play, but he is definitely learning..check out these videos of him playing with his foster sibling:

He’s also a little unsure in new places, but with a treat and a bit of encouragement, he quickly warms up. Foster has been taking him to work with her to get more exposure. By day 2, he was going to a couple of other desks for treats and even played with one lady!!

Cobby is housetrained with a doggie door. He is still not truly fond of a leash,but is getting better and better.

Cobby is now ready to bring joy, love, and a lifetime of companionship to a patient dog experienced family willing to give him the time needed to decompress. He is definitely going to make a great dog companion!!

Where Your Purchase Helps Support Rescue!

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.
