(Cupids) Bow was saved on Valentines day from a kill shelter/Animal Control in TN. He was found as a stray. TN law states dogs found as strays are given 3 days for their owner to find and pick them up. Or for a new adopter to adopt, or a rescue to pull the dog. After 3 days the dog can be euthanized for space. A dog who is brought in by his/her owners, can be euthanized immediately. This particular Animal Control has 10 kennels(stalls), that house stray dogs.  There is an EXTREME over population of UNWANTED dogs in TN at this time. EVERY ANIMAL CONTROL/SHELTER AND RESCUE IS FULL. These discarded, deserted dogs that once had families that loved them, or people who cared for them, HAVE NO WHERE TO GO.   EUTHANASIA rates have INCREASED in the last year, a lot of this is due to the huge wave of people who adopted/bought/bred  dogs during the pandemic. Now that people have gone back to work, dogs are being dumped at alarmingly high rates.     In Bows case, often times we seen Coonhounds, and other hounds who their people have thrown them out like trash, because they were purchased to be hunting dogs. If the dog doesn't hunt, the dog is useless to that owner. The right thing to do, would be to love the dog anyway. The next best thing would be to find a loving home with a friend or family member, and as a last resort bring to the shelter in hopes someone will adopt the dog. BUT  most times these dogs are just "Turned out" " Thrown out", deserted, abandoned, left to fend for their themselves.    Bow is merley one years old, he had/has his whole life ahead of him. He deserved so much more than to be tossed out and left to survive on his own. He is a sweet, happy go lucky. silly, playful, good boy. He loves everyone he meets, he LOVES to play with other dogs. He is just happy about LIFE! He loves to be in the sunshine, and smell the grass and flowers. He is happy to greet you with kisses and excitement - excitment that somone has come to see HIM! The dog his people didn't want. The dog that was useless, no good, worthless to his previous owner. While Bow may not be a hunter, he is GREAT at being a BEST FRIEND!  He is a LOYAL companion, and he will make a family very happy, a family who doesn't see him as uselss.  Bow is a 1 year old neutered male Treeing walker coonhound, and a GORGEOUS one at that! He is about 50lbs, sweet, and friendly, crate trained, and housebroken (currently with a dog door), he attends day care and has made lots and lots of doggo and people friends. He is good with kids, we suggest 10 years and up due to his age, and size. He has NOT been cat tested so we are unsure how he would do with cats.    His best bud was Haylee, a very sweet shepard mix, who is currenrly pending adoption. Bows hope is that he will find a loving caring home like his pal Haylee did. Bow arrives in New England on 04/08/2023.  And is hoping to find a loving foster home or FURever home! ( We can not save them if they do not have a safe home to go to). He is a special boy, saved on Valentines Day, was a sign, that he will find the love and family he deserves!

Madeline came to paws rescue league when another local rescue had reached out to us. Madelines previous owner, had reached out to a breed specific rescue, for German Shepards. Madeline and her sibling are clearly Labrador mixes. When we called the previous owner we were told, that she had driven 8 hours to Georgia to buy 2 sibling purebred german shepards, she had paid a lot of money for them. As they got older she realized they did not look like German Shepards, and had bought them for protection of their property. She reached out to a German Shepard rescue and asked that rescue to take them. Since they are clearly Lab mixes, the German Shepard rescue asked if we could help.   We were able to take Madeline into our rescue, she has been living in a loving foster home, and has been spayed, and fully vetted, she has all of her annual vaccines, and heartworm testing, she is current on her monthly preventatives, and has been cleared for adoption.  Madeline is crate trained, and housebroken ( she uses a dog door that she has access to at all times, she will also alert you by going to a door, once she is familiar with a new environment ). She walks well on leash and does ok in the car. Madeline is good with other dogs of all sizes, she has been in a foster home with 6 little dogs, ranging from 8lbs - 24lbs, she has also been fostered with a 60lbs hound mix. Her previous owner had young children and Madeline was very good with these children. Her prior owner told us she would sleep in the bed with them at night.  Madeline has NOT been cat tested, so we do not know if she would do well with cats.  Madeline is a 6 month old spayed female lab mix, with a yellow coat. She is still in her puppy months, and is eager to learn, and find a home who will continue to socialize her, to all kinds of sights, sounds, smells, people, dogs and animals. She is active, being a lab mix, they tend to be on the more active side, so a family who would like to take her on long walks, hikes, or jogs would be great! She would love a fenced in yard, somewhere she can play safely!    show less

Cassian was found as a stray and picked up by animal control. This animal control is a kill shelter, dogs who are strays have 3 days per TN law, to have their owner claim them, or someone to adopt or a rescue to save them. Cassians time was up, he was going to be euthanized,  due to no fault of his own, but because there is NO SPACE in shelters to keep dogs any longer than 3 days... So many dogs come in each day, animal control, shelters, and rescues CAN NOT KEEP UP.  Cassian is a SUPER sweet, calm, gentle, laid back, sweet temperament, and a little shy guy. He becomes your friend right away, but you can tell people neglected him most of his life, and its heartbreaking. He is so good with other dogs, and with people, its hard to believe he's been discarded like trash.  Cassian is a 2 year old neutered male German Shepard mix, he is medically up to date on all vaccines, hes heartworm negative, and neutered. He is housebroken and crate trained. He has been fostered with Phoenix for 45 days, and has been enrolled in doggy day care the last 3 weeks hes been in TN.  Cassian deserves a live with a family who will LOVE, and care for him, He would fit well in most homes, he is good with other dogs, and kids 8 years and up ( as we have not tested  him with kids younger than 8 years old). We are UNSURE how he would be with cats, as we have not cat tested him.  Cassian arrives in New England on 05/06/2023 and is in URGENT NEED OF A FOSTER HOME, OR FUREVER HOME. show less

Cadbury was saved from a kill shelter the day before Easter Sunday 2023. He was in terrible condition, where he had a horrible skin infection around his neck, due to whatever his owners placed around his neck, and allowed him to get in that condition. Once they didnt care about him at all, they decied to dump him in a local dumping grounds.  He wound up being picked up by animal control, which IS a KILL shelter, stray dogs have 3 days to be saved, or they are euthanized for space. As the amount of UNWANTED, ABANDONED DOGS CONTINUES TO GROW DAILY, AROUND THE COUNRTY. Dogs like Cadbury are not even given a chance. We are SO thankful a foster family stepped up for him or he would of met an early death, which he did not deserve. Cadbury is so incredably sweet, he just wants to be close to his people and furfriends, he is good with dogs, kids and people, untested with cats as of right now. He is fully house broken, and crate trained, and very smart.  Cadbury shows his foster family how thankfu he is that they saved him, daily!

Mazzy was found as a stray and picked up by animal control, where strays are given 3 days to find an owner, new adopter or a rescue. After 3 days by TN state law the dog can be euthanized. Paws Rescue League Inc. works tirelessly along side the local Humane Societies, and volunteers to save these dogs. Mazzy was in awful condition, it was evident from her urine/feces soaked and stained paws, that she was caged in a small area and left there to defecate, and live in her own filth. Aside from the stains on her paws, and coat, she was skin and bones, weighing about 13lbs. Every bone in her body visible. Her ears and body covered in fly bites. She did NOT have a good start at life, she has been terribly neglected. She was found on someone's property along with another dog, its believed the owner of the 2 dogs ( Mazzy and the other dog), had dumped them in a community in the middle of the night. Mazzy found a home with a porch and hunkered down, and waited for people to arrive, so she could get help. The owner of the home fed her and called Animal control so she could hopefully find a loving home. Since we got Mazzy in to rescue, she has been living in a loving foster home, who is giving her ALL the love she didn't receive in her past. She has seen the vet, and is now medically up to date, spayed and HW negative. She has been putting on much needed weight, she gained 5lbs in 11 days! She has received many baths to help remove the urine stains on her paws and fur.  Her foster mom raves about how sweet she is, and how great of a dog she is. She is shy at first, and doesn't understand how to dog. She doesn't play with toys yet but we believe that will change once she has spent more time in a loving home. She is about 20lbs now, and is crate trained, but prefers to be with her people/person. She is good with dogs, she is in a foster home with many other dogs. She will let other dogs know if she is uncomfortable and needs space, but comes around quickly, and then pays the dogs no mind. She is good on leash, and just really wants to be with her people. She loves to give your hand and face kisses to show her gratitude for saving her.   We feel young kids would be too much for her, a home with kids 12 years and up, or no children. A home with dogs, or another dog could help her build her confidence and teach her to be a dog. A loving owner, or owners who are willing to give Mazzy the time she needs to adjust from a life of neglect to a life of love. She has no been cat tested so we are unsure how she would be with cats.  show less

Baron is about a two-year old male Treeing Walker Coonhound mix. He is a very sweet boy, with a great temperament. He is great with kids, dogs of all sizes, and even cats! (He was tested with cats, and he didn't pay much attention to them). He is playful, smart and silly. He has come a long way from being a dog that no one cared about, or put any time into. Now he is a happy go lucky, dog, who has learned a great deal while in his foster's home. Baron is dog door trained, and crate trained, and leash trained. Baron would do best with a family who can continue helping him be the best dog he can be! He would love a doggo sibling, and maybe human siblings. He would also love a back yard to run around and play in! Breed experience is a plus!    Barons Story: Baron was found as a stray, picked up by Animal Control where he was given three days for an owner to claim him, or a new adopter, or a rescue to save him, before being euthanized (put to sleep),for space. His owners were located and they had let him "loose" because they no longer wanted him, because he wasn't a hunting dog and that was his purpose when they got him. The family felt it was ok to just let the dog go, and not care about the his safety. Once it was discovered that a family wasn't coming for Baron, his only hope was an adopter or a rescue. On the last day of his stray hold, we picked him up before he was to be euthanized. Once in rescue , we got Baron fully vetted, and we learned he was Heartworm positive. We began treatment, and he has now been in his TN foster home for the last six months while he got healthy and kicked heartworms butt!   Now Baron is in New England and is very excited to find and meet his FURever family! **Pupdate** Baron found a family in New England, but unfortunately it was not a good fit. Baron needs a home with structure and an experienced owner. Baron needs an active family. He has also been expressing some food posessiveness. We prefer an adopter who is willing to help him overcome this and provide him the training he needs. show less
