My story

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

Meet Abby – A True Survivor with a Heart of Gold!

Abby is a 1.5- to 2-year-old bundle of love who’s ready to bring joy and companionship to her forever home.

This sweet girl is a gem:

~Great with dogs of all sizes and loves kids and adults alike.
~Cat-friendly, according to her rescuer.
~Calm and composed indoors – not overly excitable or prone to jumping.
~Walks like a pro on a leash and listens beautifully to commands.
~Fully house and crate trained – no accidents, even on long days!
~No resource guarding or aggression, and she shares her space and meals happily with other dogs.

Abby has been fully vetted, spayed, and is up-to-date on her HW preventative injection. She’s heartworm-negative and in excellent health.

Her story is one of resilience: Abby was found living outside with her puppies, who sadly disappeared one by one. She was shy, nervous, and unsure of the world when she arrived in her foster home. But with love and care, she’s blossomed into a confident, affectionate girl whose tail never seems to stop wagging!

The only quirk? Abby is still working on outgrowing her love for chewing. She’ll need supervision and plenty of chew toys to keep her occupied, especially when left alone. With more attention and activity, this behavior may improve, as it’s likely linked to boredom.

Weighing in at a sturdy 50 pounds, Abby is the perfect medium-sized companion, ready to bring loyalty, love, and joy to her forever family. Could that be you?

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.
