Story

IDGSR Welcomes COOKIE into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Cookie and I'm a beautiful 3yr old female German Shepherd. I am located in Greeneville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 3yrs old Kids: would do fine with older kids (10+) Dogs: good with large male dogs Cats: NO cats Training: needs standard obedience training 1. Before coming to IDGSR, my so-called owners left me to run on my own, getting pregnant and left to fend for myself and puppies with inadequate food, water and shelter. I was treated like garbage. 2. All of my little cookie-crumbs (puppies) have since been adopted and now it's my turn for happily ever after. I desperately want a loving home of my own. 3. I'm house & kennel trained. I keep my kennel neat and don't tear anything up. I also get along well with large breed male dogs. I'd also do fine as an only dog if you promise to give me lots of attention. 4. I would greatly benefit from obedience training. I'm smart and eager to please. Will you paw-promise to train me? Let's prove that I'm the bestest girl around! 5. If you are looking for a beautiful, resilient, loving, moderate energy, friendly, and incredible new bestie - I'm your girl! Let me make your life extra sweet ;) **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

A Little Cheesy, A Lot of Lovely — Meet Asiago!With one ear standing tall and the other flopping over, Asiago has a look all her own! This 5-year-old tan girl has a wonderfully quizzical expression that makes it seem like she’s trying to figure out exactly what you’re saying. And while she may be pondering life’s big questions, she’s already figured out a few important things: squeaky toys are fabulous, snuggles are even better, and there’s no such thing as too many pets!Asiago is an affectionate girl who loves leaning in close for attention and soaking up time with her favorite people. Between her adorable mismatched ears, curious little face, and cuddle-loving personality, she’s truly one of a kind.

Story

Moving to a place that has breed restrictions! Ace is great, will miss him dearly. Prefer he stays a house dog, he normally finds a space on the couch or loves to cuddle Great with kids, raised both my young boys around him He loves parks, good off leash once trust is established Seasonal Allergies, Sensitive Skin GRAIN FREE Dog food high preferred DOGS?CATS: Prefer he's the only dog in the home, Overall a pure bred goodboy but I can no longer keep him active because of my schedule as well. He's a big baby, people often ask to pet or play with him. I dont want to surrender him to an animal shelter because of the obvious. Give him a chance he's given me the best 5 years, and I think he has a good amount of years ahead of him.
