Here's what the humans have to say about me:
IDGSR WELCOMES ELI INTO THE SAFETY OF THE RESCUE!!!!
Eli is an approx. 2 yr. old male German Shepherd who has not known a good life previous to coming to the rescue. Eli has known much hardship, hate and starvation. Anyone who would fail to meet the basic needs of their animals is a cruel person.
Since coming into the rescue Eli has gained about 30 lbs. He looks so much better and is feeling a lot better too. He eats with much gusto and gets all his daily supplements and Life is good but will be so much better when he has his own family. Eli will do best with a helper dog, a nice large breed female will be good for him to live with, he will follow her everywhere.
Eli has come a long way but there are still times that must remind him of his previous life. He cowers down in fear if you go to grab his collar to get him to do something and it's so sad to see this noble fellow be afraid that we would hurt him. He loves the kindness we show him and he is so humble and grateful for the kindness. Eli will need a patient adopter who will help him to have a happy life.
If you would love to give Eli the new loving home and life he wishes for, please fill out an application on our website and we will call you.
Each dog's adoption fee varies depending on the age of the dog.
$300 for any dog 1 year and younger (PUPPY)
$250 for any dog 1-6 years (YOUNG & ADULT)
$200 for any dog 7 years (ADULT SENIOR)
All our adoptable dogs are up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing, monthly preventative, and have been spayed or neutered.
Everyone must submit an application before an appointment is made to meet the dogs. Dogs are introduced to prospective adopters BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
All dogs are fostered in TN unless stated otherwise.
