Our story

Eli and Carly are originally from New York but have established their residence in Chattanooga, Tennessee. During their settling period in Tennessee, the concept of ‘Pawsitive Change’ was conceived. With a profound love for animals and a passion for global exploration, they have witnessed the plight of countless homeless and vulnerable animals. Moved by these experiences, they felt compelled to serve our community and pay homage to all beloved pets, past and present, by facilitating dogs' transition from the streets to loving, permanent homes. Our mission is to engage with our community and act as the vital link for animals to transition from homelessness to happiness in their newfound, well-deserved homes.

With a firm belief in the transformative power of the human-animal bond, we work tirelessly to create a pawsitive change in the lives of these incredible animals, one wagging tail at a time.
