My story

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

Meet Becket, the life of the party wrapped in a cuddly package!

Becket is a playful and goofy boy with a big personality (and an even bigger heart). This affectionate pup loves snuggling up for family time but also has lots of energy to burn during playtime.

Becket is great with other dogs and would thrive in a home with school-age kids or playful pups who can match his enthusiasm.

He is full of love and eagerness to please, though he’s still learning the finer points of personal space.
He’s working hard on not jumping up on people, takes corrections well, and is improving every day.

Becket is also a chewer, so he’ll need plenty of toys and redirection to keep him from mistaking your belongings for chew toys.

This smart boy learned his name in just two days and was fully potty-trained by day four!
Becket is also crate-trained and will settle in when needed, though he’s not a fan of spending long periods in the crate.

With some continued guidance and a family who loves to play and snuggle, Becket is sure to shine.
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion who will keep you laughing and your heart full, Becket could be the perfect fit.

Check out a couple of videos of this boy, snuggling and playing:

ATTENTION PUPPY ADOPTERS:  You must attend training/behavior classes with your new dog unless you are experienced dog owners and your adoption coordinator is comfortable with your experience.  This requirement is for the benefit of you and your puppy, so if you experience behavior issues, you have a point of contact.  

PLEASE—Think long and hard before adopting a puppy. Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours at a time until he's older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary. Puppies scratch and nip, so if you have small children, can they handle this? Training will be so important in this puppy's life. Do you have the time?

Please consider purchasing this book before adopting.  Perfect Puppy in 7 Days - How to Start Your Puppy Off Right, Sophia Yin, DVM - it is an amazing book that we recommend very highly and have had amazing feedback on.

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.
