My story

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

PERSONALITY & BEHAVIORS
Mr. Herman is an absolute gem in the world of canine companionship! With a heart full of love and a disposition as gentle as a breeze, Herman embodies everything you could wish for in a furry friend. As he is very attached to his humans, Herman is looking for a forever family without children and with someone who is around a lot.

And he needs a detached home with a medium-to-large fenced yard so he can run around to his heart's content (with or without another friendly dog). As Mr Herman was a stray, on the chance that he might get out, we are looking for a neighborhood that is interior and far from a main road.

Herman's amicable nature extends beyond his own species. He's not just GOOD with cats--he's practically a feline whisperer! Previously he was living with kittens who tried to eat his food while he was eating, and he didn't mind a bit! If you have other four-legged friends at home, rest assured that Herman will charm them with his friendly demeanor and thus create a harmonious environment for everyone.

A cuddle connoisseur, he is always ready to share warmth and comfort with his human companions. Whether you're watching TV, reading a book, or simply relaxing, Herman's presence makes every moment a delight.

Herman's love for outdoor adventures knows no bounds, and his energy and enthusiasm are testament to his zest for life. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood or an exhilarating game of fetch, Herman is always up for some outdoor fun. He relishes going for walks and is pretty good on a leash--and is interested in and generally poised when encountering other dogs.

The perfect day for Herman would start with a morning cuddle session (sporting his favorite sweater in the cooler weather), followed by breakfast. After some belly rubs, then it's on to a fun-filled day of exercise and playing, ending with a relaxing evening snuggled up in your arms together.

Herman's ideal home would be a cozy and inviting space with plenty of soft blankets and cushions for lounging, his donut bed (check out his video!), a pantry well-stocked with his favorite treats, and a family showering him with love and attention.

In conclusion, Herman is a remarkable companion who brings joy, warmth, and unconditional love wherever he goes. Embrace him with open arms, and you'll discover a loyal friend for life.


HISTORY
Mr. Herman was found as a stray and taken to a local shelter.


HEALTH
Mr. Herman is up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative, and neutered.


PHYSICAL
Mr. Herman is brown, white, and gray. He has the floppiest long ears and the cutest little tail that goes faster than the speed of light when he is happy (which seems to be always). Herman's beautiful curly Merle coat needs to be groomed approximately every 4 to 6 weeks.

Adoption Process

  • Fill out an adoption interest application HERE.

  • Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

  • You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

  • Note: IAR makes every effort to please our adopters, but our first concern must be for the animal’s welfare. We reserve the right to deny any application.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
