ZOEY FINALLY GETS HER CHANCE!

Zoey in her new home!
Dog rescuers are addicted to finding loving homes for unwanted, abandoned and abused dogs.  We find great joy in seeing a dog that someone cast away without a second thought become a part of a family that will love him/her forever. 

Every adoption makes us happy - BUT there is nothing MORE satisfying than seeing a dog that has been sitting in rescue for a long time, overlooked by other adopters, finally find a family to love.  This is the case with Zoey.

Zoey came to PAWS in August 2011, physically broken but full of love.

Through the care of PAWS volunteers, Lisa & Leanne, Zoey healed and turned into a healthy, happy dog - but we just could not seem to get anyone to meet her or take her home. 

Finally, a few weeks ago, a wonderful family applied to adopt Zoey - and fell in love.  After a long long wait - Zoey is now a part of a family!  We at PAWS are over the moon with happiness!

Thank you to Zoey's new family for seeing what a special girl she is and for giving her the home that she deserves.

Happy trails Zoey!

HAPPY ENDING FOR JAYDEN!

Jayden with his new Dad

We are thrilled to announce happy news for Jayden!  If you recall, Jayden was facing an urgent situation having to leave his foster home last month and no place to go.

A WONDERFUL family stepped up to foster Jayden.  He has been in their care for almost a month now and after an adjustment period is thriving.  We received word earlier this week that Jayden's foster family wants to make him a permanent member of their family.

We could not be happier for this sweet boy - who has been bounced around too much in his short life.

Thank you to Jayden's adoptive family for being patient with him and for giving him the love that he deserves!

Thank you all for sharing Jayden's story and for making this happy ending possible.

THE "N" PUPPIES NEED YOUR HELP!

Nick
Nick, Nate and Nan are three of a litter of 5 pups that were rescued from under an abandoned house. It took a week of visits and feeding and coaxing for us to rescue these pups. One of the siblings decided to come out on his own only to get stuck in a nearby culvert! PAWS volunteers, Lisa, Leanne and Jennifer worked with local authorities to free the pup.

Finally the litter made it to safety. They have spent the last few weeks thriving in foster care and have a rescue to go to, with adoptive homes waiting.

Over the last few days, three of the five puppies have come down with Parvo. Nick was the first to fall ill - and has almost fully recovered - but now Nate and Nan are sick and at the vet clinic. We pray that the remaining two pups remain healthy!

These cuties have been through so much and have a promising future ahead of them. Please consider chipping in to their urgent vet care!


If you are more comfortable donating directly to the vet clinic - They are at Grace Animal Hospital. You can call them at (901) 685-8205 to make a donation or you can send them a check at 668 South Main Street, Memphis, TN 38103. No amount is to small!

Thank you so much for caring about these abandoned pups!
