Meet Rhea, an adult pup with a big heart and lots of love to give. She's incredibly affectionate and loves being around people—happiest when she’s by your side, soaking up all the attention she can get!
Rhea was an owner surrender due her owner's loss of housing.
Rhea is very food motivated, which makes him a quick learner and a great candidate for training. She’s still working on her manners and could use a little guidance, but with her love of treats, she’ll catch on quickly with consistent training and a patient owner. She’d do best in a home where her people will have time to spend with her.
Poor sweet Rhea came to us needing to have an emergency surgery to fix a prolapsed vulva. She also was suffering from a skin infection on her back which caused her to lose some of her fur. Right now Rhea is currently healing and getting better. Her fur is starting to grow back nicely, showing her beautiful brown coat. She has adorable white patches on her stomach, paws, and on the top of her nose, which bring out her precious brown eyes. Even though she is just endearing, her looks are just a bonus for her beaming personality. She does well with children, cats, and other dogs. Rhea loves to show her affection with her actions.
Rhea does not do well in a crate, so we would recommend that you start with a soft dog bed.
This girl is very food motivated, so you can train her easily with treats. She loves to play ball and run outside with humans, so we would love for her to have with a home with a yard
Rhea follows you around no matter where you are. And, as you can see/hear, she is professional snorer....LOL https://youtu.be/beBtZWJdKp0?si=vYPlpPHRLe5m4N15
During the autumn months she loves to play around in the leaves. She is very sweet, loves everyone she meets and her playful personality will keep you laughing and brighten your days.
Even though her life is still unfolding, she may be the beauty you have been looking for. Just a loyal, loving companion who’s eager to learn and ready for a fresh start.

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.
