Meet Faith, a truly special dog with a heart of gold! She is as loyal as they come, and her journey to find a forever home is nothing short of amazing. One winter's day, Faith followed her rescuer and his dog through traffic, fields, and neighborhoods, never wavering in her dedication. She stuck by their side through every twist and turn, proving just how determined and loving she truly is.
When she finally arrived at her rescuer's home, she was a bit hesitant, but after a gentle pat on the head and a sniff, she decided that she wasn’t going anywhere. Her sweet and submissive nature quickly won hearts, and although everyone assumed she belonged to someone, no one ever claimed her.
She was brought into foster care with the help of another rescuer, and it was clear in her eyes—she was beyond grateful.
PAWS Rescue stepped in, offering her a chance at a fresh start. During her vet visit, a hip injury was discovered, likely caused by being hit by a car.
But with surgery completed on 1/22/25, she is on the road to recovery and doing wonderfully! No longer scrounging for food, she’s enjoying healthy meals, treats, and the love she’s always deserved.
Faith gets along well with other dogs and loves to play. While she’s still figuring out the best way to interact with cats (they tend to run from her!), she is not bothered about kids, though she hasn’t had much exposure to them yet.
Faith needs regular walks to strengthen her right leg as she continues to recover. While an energetic pup, she’s on slower strolls as she regains her strength. Faith is both housetrained and crate trained, and she enters her crate on command, always rewarded with a treat for her good behavior.
Faith would thrive in an athletic home with a big yard to run, play fetch, and explore the world with her new family. She's always up for a car ride to discover new places and enjoy life fully.
Faith is more than ready to find her forever family—could it 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.
