IDGSR Welcomes VIXEN into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Vixen and I'm the sweetest 7yr old female German Shepherd you'll meet! I'm located in Eagleville TN and available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 7yrs old Kids: good with kids Dogs: good with large dogs Cats: CAT FRIENDLY!! Training: could use an obedience refresher 1. My backstory is pretty sad. I was living on a chain attached to a tree with no shelter or access to consistent clean food and water. I wasn't treated well at all until my amazing foster mom rescued me. 2. Since living in a home, I've learned this is truly what life is all about. Love, affection, LOTS of head & tummy rubs, and full time access to food and water. 3. I am CAT FRIENDLY! Check out my video of how well I interact with the kitties. If you have cats in your home, we will get along just fine. 4. I am the sweetest most gentle girl. For an older gal, I still have plenty of energy! I desperately want to be close to my person. I'll follow you wherever you go and be your constant shadow. 5. I would do well in a loving home with lots of attention. I'll get along well with kids, cats, dogs, and people who treat me very nicely. If you've been looking for a loving resilient companion - I'm your girl! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

Story

Meet Moose — A Sweet Boy Learning to Feel at Home! Moose is a younger mixed-breed dog who came to us after his owner unexpectedly gained custody of him from a family member. His previous home included eight kids, and Moose absolutely adored them! He has also lived with cats and did well with his feline housemates. His history with other dogs has been more challenging, so any potential dog siblings will need to meet Moose before adoption. Because of his history, introductions will need to be very slow and thoughtful, and a female dog may be the best starting point for a canine companion.Shelter life has been a little overwhelming for Moose, and the busy environment has made him nervous. But every day, we`re seeing him become just a little more comfortable as he learns that he`s safe and surrounded by people who care about him. Moose will appreciate a patient family who can give him time to settle in and build confidence. With his love for kids, success with cats, and progress each day, this sweet boy has plenty of wonderful qualities waiting to shine! Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not accurately reflect the pet’s behavior in your home.
