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!

My name is Piper and I'm an adorable 9-month old female Shepherd mix. I am located in Greeneville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 9-months old Kids: will do fine with kids (8+) Dogs: good with other large dogs Cats: no cats Training: needs full obedience training Extra Video: https://youtube.com/shorts/UOqw64Muwic?feature=share 1. I was previously adopted through another rescue but those people decided I had too much puppy energy and the best way to contain me was to lock me in a kennel for 23-hours a day. Thank goodness they returned me & now I'm looking for an appropriate & loving home! 2. I'm just a puppy, 9-months old! So I have lots of playful puppy energy. I love running in the yard, playing with other doggos, and playing with toys. 3. I'm working on house & crate training, that's going really well! Please be patient with me since I'm a work in progress. 4. I want to get a PHD in obedience training! Will you paw-promise to train me? I want to learn sit, stay, come, down, place, leash manners, and anything else you can teach me. I'm super smart & learn super quick! 5. With spring coming up, I want to get outside and go on some walks, runs, or hikes! I can also help you in the yard, give you support with your health goals, and help be your sous chef in the kitchen. 6. If you are looking for a medium size, beautiful, friendly, fun-loving, happy-go-lucky new bestie - I'm your girl! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

IDGSR Welcomes ROMEO into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Romeo and I'm a handsome 1yr old male German Shepherd mix dude. I am located in Greeneville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 1yr old Kids: would do fine with older kids (12+) Dogs: good with large dogs Cats: NO cats Training: needs full obedience training 1. My backstory is pretty sad. I came from a high kill shelter in Memphis. After leaving the shelter, I was forced to live in a small kennel most of the day. Because of this cruelty, I was going nuts! Doggos aren't suppose to live in a crate 24/7! 2. Thanks to some good hearted people, they transferred me to IDGSR where I could receive proper care, love, attention, and learn to be a good boy. 3. I have gained weight, overcome some of my not-so-great habits, and have learned being a free dog is the best! Running in the yard, playing with other dogs, and playing with toys is so fun! 4. I am house & kennel trained and am a very active boy. I'd love to go on walks, hikes, runs, or do anything athletic. 5. I could use some standard obedience training. Let's prove to your nosey neighbor that you have the most handsome (duh!) and well trained pup on the block! 6. If you are looking for a resilient, friendly, handsome, athletic, and nice new companion - I'm your dude! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!
