My story

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

Meet Maddy! This sweet and lovable pup hopes to find a forever home where she can get all the cuddles and playtime she deserves.

Maddy had a tough start to life, spending her first five years crated in a puppy mill operation. Because of this, Maddy is not a fan of being confined and takes a little bit to warm up.  She is great on a leash and enjoys hanging out in a fenced yard, but she especially loves being close to her humans or other animal friends. While she can be a little grumbly when another dog gets too close during cuddle time, she's easily redirecte.

Maddy has the most adorable underbite, which only adds to her charm! She's still figuring out how to be a dog, but her favorite thing is playing with cat toys (she doesn’t care if she’s not a cat) and laying on mountains of blankets. Maddy loves sleeping in bed with her people at night, making her the perfect snuggle buddy.
If you're looking for a loving companion who will keep you entertained and never leave your side, Maddy might be the perfect fit!

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.
