My story

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

One day, Edgar wandered down the road of one of our southern rescue partners. It was his lucky day! He was extremely thin and hesitant to come to his would-be rescuer. It took less than 5 minutes to entice him close enough to get a lead on him. He did not resist once the lead was put over his head. He was happy to jump in and ride in the truck to his new life. He has since gained 20 pounds.

Edgar is a very cautious boy. He is very happy to play with his foster friends but often prefers to stay at arms length from his his foster dad while walking in the yard .Maybe he reminds him of someone.. hard to say But when he sits, Edgar is very happy to go to him and get his ear rubbings and his high praises.
Edgar love the young woman that comes to help with Edgar and friends care. She can pat him anytime she likes

Edgar has a big yard to play in and there really isn't much need for a leash. But when there is, Edgar is learning to master it. He likes to go where ever the leash takes him!



Edgar is a smart boy, he is kennel-trained, knows his daily routines, and knows just what to do when it is time to go out... it helps if there a little treat waiting for him.

His best friend is a female German Shepherd and they spend hours playing in the yard.
He hasn't had the opportunity to show his manners around little children yet. none near by. So until he is able to meet some, which we hope will be soon, it best that he be in a home with children over 12yrs



What Edgar needs a patient family willing to continue to work with Edgar and teach him about living in a home and trusting humans. He has come so far already.

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.
