My story

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

Meet Handsome Oscar!

Oscar is an active, sweet, and lovable husky with a heart full of resilience and charm. He was found running through a southern neighborhood with a broken leg but has made an incredible recovery. After six weeks in a splint, he’s back on his feet, ready for fun, with only a slight limp that should improve over time. Best of all, he has no limitations on his activities!

Oscar loves to stay close to his people. His favorite spot during the day is under his foster mom’s desk while she works. He’s a fan of cozy spaces and often naps under or behind furniture. Although crate-trained and happy to use it occasionally, Oscar prefers choosing his own comfy spots to rest.

This handsome guy is housetrained with a doggie door, though he’s still learning not to chew on non-dog items. He’ll need supervision and a good supply of chew toys to help him stay on track.

Oscar can be skittish around new people, barking and keeping his distance at first. He warms up with time and patience, preferring calm introductions at eye level. Once he feels secure, he’s a snuggle champion who adores petting and attention. He’s not a fan of loud noises but otherwise thrives in a loving, stable environment.

Great with other dogs and kids...as fosters grandchildren (1, 3, 7) are with him almost daily and frequently overnight.
He enjoys romping around with both his canine foster siblings and the kids, although he can be a bit of a roughhouser when he’s having fun. He’s also learning the art of fetch—he’ll happily retrieve a toy but isn’t quite sure what to do with it yet!

Oscar is a sweet, playful soul who just wants to love and be loved. If you have some husky breed experience and are ready for an affectionate companion with a zest for life, Oscar is your guy!

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.
