Story
🐾 Meet Cici: Your New Best Friend & Adventure Partner! Cici is a pint-sized powerhouse with a heart twice the size of her body! At just 5 months old, she is in the "explorer" phase of her life, where every falling leaf is a game and every person is a potential best friend. ✨ Why You’ll Love Her: The Ultimate Cheerleader: Cici doesn't just walk; she prances. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious—you can’t help but smile when she’s around. Smart as a Whip: She’s a quick learner who is eager to please. With a few treats and some positive reinforcement, she’ll be mastering tricks in no time. World-Class Cuddler: Once she’s finished her daily "circuit training" (aka running circles in the yard), she transforms into a professional lap warmer. 🏡 What Cici is Looking For: Cici is looking for a home that matches her "let’s go!" spirit. She’s a high-octane girl, so she’s dreaming of: An Active Lifestyle: Whether you’re a hiker, a runner, or a champion fetch-thrower, Cici wants to be by your side. Mental Stimulation: She loves puzzle toys and learning new cues to keep her bright mind busy. Plenty of Space: A yard or frequent trips to the park would make her the happiest pup on the planet.

Story
Meet Honey—a long-legged little sweetheart with a big personality and an even bigger heart! 🐾 At about 18 pounds and about 1 1/2 yrs old, Honey is a unique Chihuahua mix with adorable long legs that make her look like she’s always ready for a fun adventure. She’s an energetic girl who enjoys playtime and staying active, but her favorite place in the world is curled up right in your lap soaking up love. Honey is both smart and affectionate . She already knows basic commands and is highly food motivated, which makes her a great companion for someone who enjoys a dog that’s eager to learn and interact. When the day winds down, she’s more than happy to trade playtime for cuddles and become your personal lap warmer. She also gets along great with other dogs, so she could fit right into a home with canine siblings or enjoy regular playdates with new friends. Honey is located in Texas. Her adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport and includes current shots, microchip, spay, and negative heart worm test. If you are interested in adopting Honey please complete the adoption application at the link below.

Story
IDGSR Welcomes AZALEA into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Azalea and I'm a beautiful 1yr old female German Shepherd. I am located near Nashville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 1yr old Kids: teenage or adult home preferred Dogs: only dog or large male dog Cats: NO cats Training: needs full obedience training 1. I came to IDGSR with a litter of tiny babies, who have all been adopted. I was living in a really bad situation so I'm super thankful IDGSR rescued us. 2. I'm just a baby myself, only a little over 1yr old. Thankfully, I'll never have puppies again and I'm ready to learn what being a loved dog is all about. 3. Considering my rough start to life, I am a bit behind socially. I need a patient adopter to socialize and train me. I need to build some confidence and learn that the whole world isn't out to get me. 4. I'm a smart girl and catch on quickly. Once I decompress, training should be a breeze! Pro tip: have some cheese, hot dogs, or other tasty treats & I'll do just about anything! 5. I'd love to find my forever person, follow them around, go on adventures, and I DREAM of cuddling! 6. If you are looking for a beautiful, resilient, smart, & loyal new companion - I'm your girl! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!
