My story

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

Grady is an easy-going, affectionate boy who radiates gratitude and joy. He’s discovering how wonderful life can be and loving every minute of it.

He’s the kind of dog who makes you slow down and appreciate the little things. A soft bed, a loving pet, a tasty treat — Grady soaks it all in with a happy heart and a wagging tail.

Grady likes other dogs, but prefers to be the only dog in the home. He can get a little jealous when attention or resources are shared, and he’d rather have his people all to himself. That said, he’s friendly and appropriate meeting other dogs on leash or playing outside with them.

In the house, Grady is calm, well-mannered, and content. He’s crate-trained, house-trained, and knows “sit.” He rarely barks and can be trusted to nap peacefully while you’re away, then greet you like you’re the best part of his day (because you are).

Grady is always up for a walk, hike, or jog, but he’s equally happy to curl up beside you when it’s time to relax.

He can be a little unsure in very busy, urban settings at first, but he’s adaptable and eager to please, and he gains confidence quickly. Mostly, Grady just wants to be your buddy in whatever you’re doing.

Grady is up to date on vaccines and preventatives, neutered, microchipped, and heartworm negative. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will appreciate every kindness you show him, please consider Grady.

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.
