Meet Murdock (male) and his partner, Lovie (female) They are a bonded pair of non shedding adult dogs who are both very very sweet and loving. Murdock worships Lovie, and she adores him. As much as they love each other, they love their person just as much!!
These two are basically the doggy version of a rom-com couple: they were discovered running wild through the streets of Houston, trying to survive, completely inseparable. They moved on to greener pastures (literally) after being rescued in Texas and getting their vetting done. Both are now living in a New England foster home with four other little dogs. Someone must have owned and loved them as they have taken to fostering like true pros....so well adjusted to a life with humans.
Lovie and Murdoch are a loving pair — they play, nap, and even groom each other like they’re in a spa day commercial. They’re small but mighty at 11 and 10 pounds, and let’s face it, they’re adorable enough to break the internet. They get along with the other dogs in the house and have even adopted one of them as their personal project — daily grooming sessions included. It’s like they’re running a doggie beauty salon now.
They're both excellent house guests, but they do need to be taken out regularly to avoid any indoor accidents (because no one likes stepping in a surprise). They’d thrive in a fenced-in yard where they can frolic freely, in particular where Murdoch is still learning to master leash walking without pulling his human along. He gets just very excited, so you may find yourself getting a workout in the process.
When it’s sofa time, these two are all about cuddles — either on your lap or in constant contact with you like your personal, tiny, fuzzy bodyguards. They're super chill with the routine, even when foster mom heads off to work. When being told to go into the their pen, they happily hang out there for a few hours (no accidents!) and then pass out together like two tiny, snoring beans in a pod.
Fun facts: Lovie has the cutest little snort — think “adorable piglet” vibes — and Murdoch’s sleek grey coat makes him look like he should be modeling for a luxury pet brand (though it might look more black in photos, but trust us, it's fancy).
When it’s sweater time, they come running like it's the highlight of their day. And brushing? They’re all about it — if only we could get them to brush our hair too.
They’ve had their first white Christmas in foster care, but it’s clear these two deserve to have their own forever home to truly live out their holiday movie dreams. Whoever is lucky enough to bring these dogs into their life, will have a heartwarming experience that will definitely change their lives for the better.

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.
