My story

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

Scout is an adorable smaller lab mix (per DNA test) who was born when the family’s small yellow lab mix (her picture in the listing) had an unplanned litter in Memphis.

Scout came up to New England with his siblings, and while they’ve settled in with their adoptive new families, Scout is still getting used to the big change. He’s a little shy and nervous around new people and places, so he’s looking for a patient home with someone who understands (or is ready to learn about) fearful dogs.

But here’s the best part: Scout has made huge strides! Once he trusts you, he’s all love and snuggles. His foster mom says he’s incredibly affectionate and gaining confidence every day. 🐾

He’s also working hard on his crate and house-training, making steady progress in his foster home. With the right person by his side, we know Scout will blossom even more!

If you’re ready to help this sweet soul feel at home and show him what love and stability are all about, Scout just might be the perfect match for you.

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.
