My story

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

More Photos coming shortly!!!

Meet Hunk – and yes, he’s exactly that: one big, lovable hunk of dog! 💖

This sweet boy was found as a stray and brought to an Emergency Vet clinic. We stepped in and arranged for him to join one of our amazing foster homes to prevent him from being sent to the already overcrowded Memphis Animal Shelter.

He arrived at the Emergency Clinic super thin, so we are starting slow meals to fatten him up and getting him checked for parasites, too. Hunk will soon receive his full vetting, which includes vaccines, X-rays of his legs, a heartworm test, and a thorough checkup.

So far, he’s been fantastic with humans and other dogs, but we’ll continue assessing him as he settles into his new environment. In the meantime, we’re opening his adoption listing now, hoping to find him the perfect forever home as quickly as possible.

Just look at that face! We hope it’s one you can’t live without.

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.
