My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

IDGSR WELCOMES LIGHTNING INTO THE SAFETY OF THE RESCUE!!!

IDGSR VOLUNTEERS rescued Lightning, Storm (adopted) and Thunder from literally a pig pen of a dog kennel. All were in terrible condition and extremely neglected by their former owner who thought what he was doing was acceptable care. Those standards are sub-par and do not set well with us, we find the treatment of companion animals this way despicable. Despite that horrible care, these kids still love people. Lightning is a calm and loving boy and he gives his heart to you FAST! He is a velcro dog and will follow you everywhere. He knows his new mom or dad or both need him and he wants to be available at a moment's notice just in case you feel you need to hug or pet him and he will comfort you with his kisses.

Lightning is a very calm boy, he is quiet and reserved, pretty amazing for a dog who was stuck living in pig pen conditions. Lightning will do fine with a medium to large breed female dog. He hangs out often with Harmony one of our other adoptees who is approx. 50 lbs.

If you would like to adopt this handsome sweetheart please apply by copying and pasting the link below to our application page.
