My story

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

Meet George!! Now located in New England!

(Note - George is perfectly sized with a serious case of puppy dog eyes and beautiful soft tri-colored fur - his photo makes him look much larger!!)

This precious boy is a 1.5-year-old, 27-pound mixed breed (DNA reveals Terrier, Pekingese, Dachshund, Min Pin, and more) who is the perfect combination of gentle and lovable. He’s calm, well-mannered, and doesn’t chew or mark—making him the ideal companion whether you’re working or relaxing.

George has the most impeccable table manners! He only eats from his own bowl, even around slower-eating canine friends.
He thrives in the company of other dogs and would love to have a playful pup sibling to keep him happy.
George is also fine with cats but would do best in a home without small animals like rabbits.

While we don’t know much about his early life, George can be a bit nervous around some men, though he’s perfectly comfortable when they’re sitting or lying down. With the help of anxiety medication and a loving foster home, he’s been building confidence every day and doing a great job of learning that the world is not so scary.

Watching his growth has been a true joy for his foster family, and this progress will surely continue in his forever home.

He is truly the most gentle of gentlemen and an absolute dream house guest. He would love a special lady to continue learning with and call his own (and maybe a man, but preferably one on the shorter, gentle side).

George is wonderful with gentle children of all ages who respect his need for space. When he’s scared, he cowers or retreats—never showing any aggression.

This easygoing guy does great when left alone with another dog. He doesn’t need a crate, preferring to relax calmly near his friends. He adores outdoor time—whether it’s long walks or zooming around a fenced yard, he’s happiest when he’s outside.

George is incredibly loving and fun, but his future people need to respect that he needs a little time and space to feel safe in some settings. He promises it will be worth it!

If you’re looking for a young dog who’s already past the potty training and teething stage, gets along wonderfully with other dogs, and is ready to blossom into his full potential with your help, George might just be your perfect match!

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.
