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!

Story

Loki Midnight is a Standard Poodle with a friendly, playful, and loving personality. His birthday is December 4, 2024, so he will be turning 2 years old soon. He is very affectionate, enjoys being close to his people, and loves getting belly rubs, running, playing, and receiving treats. He can be a little shy at times, does not particularly like loud noises, and can be protective of the people he loves. He has been great with children and understands when he needs to be gentle. I am looking for a loving, safe, and comfortable home where Loki will receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. He would do best with someone who understands his affectionate nature and can give him the time and patience he deserves. Loki is a sweet, loyal, playful, and sometimes shy companion who has a lot of love to give.
