My story

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

Meet Hercules!!! Truly just an all around great dog!

This handsome hunk gets along well with other dogs, doesn’t mind cats and is great with children of all ages.

Hercules was an owner surrender to no fault of his own. He has suffered from seizures and his previous adopters did not practice safe measures with him, allowing him to wander the streets aimlessly after his episodes (so awful for him). He was finally surrendered and now resides in a southern foster home, where he is thriving. He is currently on medication that controls his seizures and it has worked very well, he rarely has a seizure now.

Herc has such a loving calm personality and is quite the snuggle bug, he loves to share the couch. He is both house and crate trained and loves to ride in the car.

This boy will be a wonderful addition to your household.

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.
