Help Suzy’s Beloved Seniors Find a Forever Home


Meet Tobey – A Sweet and Resilient Senior Boy

Tobey is an 8-10-year-old Shepherd mix with a heart full of love to share. This gentle soul comes from Meadow Wood Rescue, where he and many other senior pups are seeking new homes after the passing of their beloved rescue leader.

Tobey is a slow-moving, sweet-natured boy who's been through a lot. He carried a long-time injury/tumor on his right front paw, but he's now on the road to recovery after it was removed. Tobey is doing fantastic and will soon be fitted for a prosthesis after arriving in New England—a special touch for a super special boy.

Tobey might be the perfect match if you're looking for a loving companion with a calm and kind demeanor. He’s ready to begin the next chapter of his life with a forever family. Adopt Tobey and give this senior pup the loving home he so deserves.

Suzy's Dogs:
The Memphis rescue community recently lost a beloved member, Suzy of Meadow Wood Rescue, who dedicated her life to saving countless needy dogs. Following her passing, fellow rescuers have stepped in to ensure her personal dogs and rescues find loving homes. With a three-month timeline to transition these dogs, we’re focusing on rehoming her senior dogs—the ones most in need and missing their mom deeply.

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.
