Here's what the humans have to say about me:
IDGSR Welcomes DARWIN into the safety of the rescue!!
THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT
**************
Howdy! My name is Darwin! I'm roughly 12-18mo old, have tons and tons of energy, and love to play. I am located near Greeneville, Tennessee and am available for transport to my forever home.
I was found wandering the streets as a stray, due to no fault of my own. A nice person rescued me and has been helping me find a new home. I absolutely love to be petted and am craving so much attention.
I would do best with someone who has prior German Shepherd experience and who is a strong handler. I am a big boy and need training to ensure I am respectful. I'm smart and can learn just about anything, I just need direction.
Also, I need to be either the only dog in the home or with a large female, no males, cats, or small dogs. If you have kids, I do best with ones 14yrs and older.
I have so much potential and need someone who is willing to put in the time to make me the bestest boy around. I would love to go on all sorts of adventures and become your best friend!
