Kaamos ( his name means "Polar Night", which in finnish refers to the days their is no sun in the arctic)  Kaamos was dumped at a kill shelter by his owners on December 8th, Owner surrendered dogs are give 24 hours to find a new adopter or a rescue. If an adopter or rescue arent found the dog will be destroyed (put to sleep, euthanized, killed).   Kaamos post was shared more than 780 times, to rescues and dog lovers.. Out of these 789 shares, no rescues wanted to take him in, many were full ( Like we are), Kaamos chances were very bleak. Despite being a healthy, sweet boy, who tested well with people and other dogs. People pleaded in the comments to "Save this boy!" "Don't let him die!" But no one offered to foster him, which is a guaranteed way to save a dogs life.  Finally, we were sent his post, and asked if we could help. He had NO ONE coming for him, we could not turn our backs on him in his hour of need, He deserved much much more than what his previous people delivered him to.  We have made a promise to Kaamos to find his PAWfect family who will love and care for him like he deserves! He is so grateful to be alive and he shows us every day, by his great manners and good nature, and affection. We have now had Kaamos for over a month in foster care, he has lived in a home with a loving family to get him ready for his FURever home!  Kaamos is about 55lbs, a neutered male Shepard/Husky mix. He is FULLY housebroken, and has not had an accident in the 5 weeks hes been in his TN foster home, he will alert you that he needs to go out by going to the door. He is FULLY crate trained and will go in his crate to sleep, eat or chew a toy or a bone. Kaamos is extremely dog friendly, and WONDERFUL with kids, hes been in a foster home since December 6th with 2 children 6 and 7 years old. He is great with them, very gentle, and sweet. He has not been cat tested.  He knows "Drop it", "Sit", "Off" and "Leave it",  and "Here" or "Come".  He is getting better and better with his recall training, hes not perfected it yet but he is doing well!   Kaamos is food motivated, which helps with training! Kaamos loves to play with toys, other dogs, or kids, or just running around the yard. He likes to go for walks, but he can pull a little bit when he sees a doggo friend.  He is great in the car and will jump in on his own happily to go for a ride,  He loves people, and takes treats gentley from hands, and he is not a barker, He does bark some when playing but most dogs do! Kaamos perfect home would be an average active family, who will take him for a couple walks a day, a hike would be lovel, here and there, a back yard to romp aroung in, and either doggo siblings, or human siblings or both!  He is going to make a family very very happy!  show less

Thalia and her puppies came to us, when the owner put our a plea for help with a momma dog, and 8 puppies, who they did not want. When we arrived to the scene, Thalia  (momma), was tied up with a chain and a padlock to a panel of fencing, on the outside of the yard, so. she was not protected inside a fence. The 8 puppies, some people had already came and took 2 of them. The reamining 6 puppies were free raoming, near a road, in the drive way, and some huddled up under some cars, wrapped up to try and keep warm. These puppies were saved just adter the bitter cold week, where temperatures in we the negative tens, -10 windchill.  These 8 puppies sleeping on a hard dirty gound, under cars for warmth and cover while momma was chained up with a pad lock. Both Thalia and the puppies were all very underweight. No food or water bowl were seen at the site the dogs were rescued from.   We took Thalia and the 6 puppies, placed them in foster home, where we worked on getting them all to healthy weights, and into the vet to make sure they are all healthy and recieve vet care. Tinker is a female 11 week old small shepard/pug mix.  We were told by the owner of Thalia and puppies that a pug mix was the dad of the puppies.  We believe most of the 6 puppies will be small to medium in size. Mom Thalia is about 40lbs, and we expect the puppies to be under that weight when fully grown. This is an estimate based off mom, and dad, and the puppies current size ( this is not a gaurantee they will all be under 40lbs).   Tinker is brinde, with a small white stripe of fur on her head and nose, she is a tad ligher than her brothers Thain and Tuker. Tinker is the only female puppy in the litter, she is working on house breaking, and crate training. They are all young puppie and just now starting to discover what its like to be a dog, and not in survival mode.   Tinker ( and siblings) would do well in most homes, as they are young puppies, who like small kids, take in everything you teach them. They will need adopters who have time to train and bond with a new puppy.  Tinker will be arriving in New England on 01/21/2023 and is excited to start her new life with a loving family.  show less

 Emma, Emily, Rache, Monuca l and Jancie were being given away by their owner "free to homes", the owner stated they were going to put them in a box and drop the box off at walmart. We had one of our volunteers go see the puppies and ask about mom, so we could ask to spay her to prevent future unwanted puppies. We were told mom wasnt available for us to fix. We asked to take in the remaining 5 puppies ( origibally there were 8), the boys were already given away. We took the 5 females who were left. All the puppies looked heatlhy aside from wormy bellies and not eating nutritious food. Except for Janice, we noticed her face was swollen, and we took the family of 5 puppy sisters and got them to the vet right away.  Emma got a clean bill of health, and recieved all of her vaccines, and has been cleared for adoption. Janice sadly has developed painful puppy stragles,and dermititus, which she surely would never have made it without medical care.  Emma is a sweet playful little girl, who is adoreable, and will quickly make everyone who meets her fall on love, she has a cute white and black coat with a pink freckled nose,and the cutest little face!  She is good with everyone! We believe she will only be about 30-40lbs full grown, Emma would fit in most homes, and make a perfect addition. Sheis hoping she has a family waiting for her when she arrives to New England on 02/18/2023! show less

Dean, Rowena and Sam came to Paws Rescue League, from a local animal control in Tennessee. The three of them were picked up as strays and placed on a stray hold. If no owners came to claim them, someone needs to adopt them or a rescue needs to take them. East TN is rampart with unwanted dogs, and animals who are not Spayed/Neutered, it has become so out of hand, there are more than 2 dozen resuces that put in great effort to save these dogs lives, with rescues effort and animal controls helping each other save these dogs, euthanasia rates have dropped, which is wonderful. But until the LAWS change, to keep animals safe, and hold people accountable, there will continue to be dogs in need. Dean is about 20 lbs,  1-2  years old. He is full grown, and will not get any larger. He is a mix bettween small terrier dog, and dachshund dog. Dean is a little shy at first, but warms up quickly and loves his people, he is good with other dogs, kids and tested ok with cats. He likes to play with cats, so a dog savvy cat is preferred. He is housebroken, but will have accidents the first day or two while learning his new routine. Dean loves all toys and loves to play fetch. He loves to eat doggei bacon and eat some peanut butter! He is so sweet and loves everyone eh has met.  Dean would love a family of his own!

Vixen was found as a stray along with 2 other dogs (Dancer and  Cupid). Stray dogs have 3 days per TN law before they can be euthanized. The shelter gives them 5 days, in hopes an owner comes forward and claims them. When an owner doesnt claim than an individual can adopt them, or a rescue can save them. If the dog(s) isnt picked up by an owner or adopted, or rescued the dog can be destroyed, euthanized, put to sleep. Due to no fault of their own. The shelter has 12 kennels, and once they fill up dogs can be euthanized to open up space for more dogs. We save most of our dogs from this Animal Control facility, most of the dogs we take into our rescue were all facing euthansia,  Vixen is a little cutie, she is presumed to be a Westie/Wire pointer mix. She is about 30lbs and is a medium sized dog with a l fluffy coat of hair white fur/haie We do NOT believe she is hypoallergenic. Vixen is deaf, we had the vet check her hearing when our foster family said they believed she couldnt hear. Vixen is good with kids, and other dogs, we are not sure how she is with cats at the moment,  Vixens foster family say she is an absolutely wonderful girl, so sweet, good natured and wonderful temperament, Fully housebroken and crate trained. She has been practicing leash walking and is doing wonderfully. Vixen has had some interest, but unfortunately most have backed out due to her disability. Benefits of a deaf dog is they don't hear all the noises and start barking for no reason😁.  You can sneak out while she's sleeping and she won't wake up😁. She sits on cue, stays, and will follow you. Most of the time she is always by your side looking at you. If you are interested in adopting Vixen, please submit an application! show less

Flapjack and Crash, are two Rottweiler/hound  brothers who came from the same home. Their owner dumped them at a kill shelter. When an owner takes their dog into the shelter becasue they no longer want to care for, or have time for the dog, those dogs are euthanized (killed) first. Stray dogs are given 3-5 days for an owner to find them, or to be adopted/ or rescued. Flapjack and Crash were running out of time, no one was stepping up to takes these two sweet big boys in. We had our foster volunteer pick them both up for their FREEDOM ride out of the shelter!  Flapjack and his brother have been in a foster home, with a few other dogs, and they are doing fantastic. Flapjacks foster mom has this to say about him:  "Hey there, Im Flapjack, or as my pawrents affectionately call me Pancake. Im an older boy but still as spry as any youngin, My two favorite things are watching the wildlife and getting pets/scratchies on my head. I also really enjoy a good game of fetch. When you get home I am so excited I roll around on the floor and on your lap, and cry in happiness,  because I missed you so much, and I am just so glad to see that you came back!  I love making new friends, Im good with strangers, I make friends quickly! I just want to smell them, and learn all about them. If I am smelling too much, just tell me to stop and I will! I am completely in love with food, I will do anyhing for a treat/cookie, sometimes I get a little excited and take it too quickly. I am wokring on taking them more gently, Its just so exciting, learning to be an indoor dog, and all the wonderful things Ive been able to experience, that I can get a little ahead of myself, and forget that I have teeth when taking the cookie!   Flap show less

Momma Magic is on her way to New England and is looking for a FURever home, now that all of her 10 Princesses, and Princes have been adopted last week!   Magic is a sweet girl, who is very good with other dogs, she attended doggy day care while in her TN foster home. She is just a puppy herself, the vet estimated her to be around 2 years old. Magic came to Paws Rescue League when local rescue people in TN has seen a stray heavily pregnant dog wandering for weeks, they contacted rescues, aninmal controls, and humane societies, but unfortunately EVERYONE WAS FULL. ( Paws Rescue League Inc was also full). Sadly Magic gave birth to her puppies outside, she had 10 adorable little babies, but still no one to step up and help this family in need.  We were contacted and explained the situation, and they asked if we could help. We got a foster home lined up right away, and had made vet appointments for momma and pups. Momma Magic has since been fixed, fully vetted, and is ready for her Happily Ever After!  Momma Magic, and her puppies have been in our foster care since the 2nd week of September. Magics puppies have all been adopted last week, now its her turn! She is truly a wonderful sweet girl!  Housebroken, crate trained, and plays very well with other dogs. All this information is learned through foster parents, during the time the dog is with us in foster care. show less

Padma, came to Paws Rescue League after animal control was called about a litter of dumped puppies by a road. There near the road and someones property were 5 starving puppies, a 6th puppy was found screaming in pain in a bush a few feet away. This little family of 6 siblings were discarded like trash on December 30th 2022. In the bitter cold, little 8 week old babies, who just stopped nursing, were deemed garbage by their owners. How awful calous, and heartless some people are, its sickening. Sadly this happens ALL the time in TN and other southern states where animal protection laws do nothing to protect innocent animals. We could go on about what is deemed acceptable in these areas when it comes to providing food, and shelter for pets but we'll save that for another day for now. The 2nd week of January, Padma and Pia suffered from a prolapsed colon, they were so full of worms, after they were de wormed, their tiny tummies were so stuffed up, straining to pottying led to the prolapses. Both Padma and Pia have had surgery to correct it. During this time Padma also had surgery on her broken leg. Padma, a beautiful, now 10.5 week old American staffy mix, with a gorgous brindle and white toes!  She is a typical puppy, she is practicing housebreaking, and leash walking, and crate training. She is still very much a very young pup, with her whole life ahead of her! She is good with all people, despite what her previous owner did to her and her siblings, she is good with all dogs, and cats. She will grow to be a med- large sized dog. She would do well in most homes, who are willing to put the time and effort in to training a puppy. She would LOVE a back yard of her own, and some fur siblings to play with!    Padma arrives in New England on 01/21/2023 and is looking for her FURever family! show less

Tonka was found as a stray dog, he was picked up by the local animal control. This animal control IS A KILL SHELTER. A dog has 3 days to be adopted or saved by a rescue.     One look at Tonka and it was clear he lived a life of SEVER neglect. His skin was falling out and thinning out all over, he had terribly long nails, his teeth were ground to stumps from gnawing on either a chain he was tied up with or a metal kennel he was locked in ( he was either caged or chained for a long time for his teeth to be in that condition. Worst of all he had ear infections that had gone untreated for so long that scar tissue from him scratchng at his ears caused tissue to grow and completely enclose his ear drums. His ears were swollen to the point they looked like ballons, his face was also beginging to swell.   We knew we had to save this boy, and get him immediate vet care, he deserved so much more than what he was put through. Taking one look into his eyes and you can see his sad past, but despite his awful past, he has nothing but love and devotion to every human he meets. He has every right to be terrified, or untrusting of humans, but he adores them. He is the sweetest thing on two legs, he is the most well behaved boy, he loves every dog and human, (as well as children) he meets, and is just so grateful to br alive. Tonka would fit in almost any, loving home, he is just the happiest, easy going, very good boy, with so much love to give! show less
