Story
Meet Snowball -- one of the Christmas Cookies puppies! A couple of weeks before Christmas, sweet mama (Cookie) came to us from a dire situation, where her life was in jeopardy. Animal control stepped in and worked to find a rescue to save her. She and her 7 babies are with us now, happy, healthy and loved. We're so glad we could get her out of that horrible place -- and now it is time to find loving forever homes for her and all of her babies. Mama weighs about 32 lbs, but her puppies look like they may stay a little smaller than that. We really do not know what breed mix mama is, so we have included a picture of her for you to see for yourself. She is really sweet and loves attention. She plays great with other dogs. At 13 weeks the puppies are on target to stay at about 25 lbs or so as adult dogs. All but one of the puppies have short legs and long bodies, so we are thinking daddy dog may have been Dachshund or Corgi. They are all sweet and playful and ready to find forever homes. The puppies are not fully house trained, but they do have a head start on that because their have a doggy door and are learning that outside is where they should go potty. They have already had all 3 rounds of puppy shots and are microchipped. They will need rabies vaccine and to be spayed/neutered when old enough. If you think you might want to give this sweet pup a home, please email jojosdogrescue@gmail.com and we will send you an application, or visit our website: www.jojosdoghouse.com and download one. Adoption fee is $250, which includes up-to-date vaccinations, parasite treatment, and microchip with lifetime registration. Please visit our Facebook page JoJo's DogHouse (non-profit) to learn more about us and see many of the dogs we have rescued. We hope you'll join JoJo's family of adopters!

Story
IDGSR Welcomes NALLAH into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Meet Nallah, located in Greeneville TN and is available for transport. 11 months old. Survivor. Absolute boss babe energy. This girl went from life on a chain… to running her world like the boss babe she was always meant to be. And trust me — she knows it. Nallah is bold, brilliant, and FULL of personality. She’s got that go-go-go energy and thrives when she has a job to do. Long hikes? Yes. Runs? Even better. Training sessions? She eats them up. This girl is smart and driven — the kind of dog who wants to work and bond with her person. Ideal home vibes: – Can be your one-and-only spotlight girl OR paired with a large, confident male – No female dogs (she prefers to be the leading lady) – Active human who’s ready to keep her mind & body busy She’s already showing major potential, but she’ll need continued obedience training and a little “princess refinement” to polish all that raw greatness into something truly elite. Bottom line? Nallah isn’t for just anyone — she’s for someone who wants a loyal, high-energy, ride-or-die partner and is ready to match her ambition. If you’re looking for a dog that’s got main character energy… you just found her Extra video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFqylIif0sA **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

Quick Facts: Age - 10-months old Kids - good with kids (7+) Dogs - good with other dogs Cats - no cats Training - needs obedience training 1. I was adopted a few months ago from a shelter. The family that adopted me had some life changes so they surrendered me to IDGSR. Now I've been patiently waiting to be adopted. 2. I'm truly the bestest girl. I am house & crate trained and I already know multiple commands! I love snuggling up on the couch & munching on sweet potatoes (see my video). 3. My previous home had a 9yr old kid and we get along well, if you have kids I'm sure we will be best friends. Remember, it's important to teach kids how to respect and behave around dogs! 4. When the weather warms up, I'd love to do all the outdoor activities! Let's go on a hike, take a walk, go camping, get a pup-cup, and hang out on a patio! 5. If you like puppy kisses, happiness, laughter, cuddles, and endless joy & fun - then adopt me & we will be besties! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!
