IDGSR Welcomes DARCY into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Darcy and I'm an adorable 19 week old female Shepherd/Husky mix. I am located near Nashville TN and will be available for transport at the end of June. Quick Facts Age: 19 weeks old Kids: will do great with kids Dogs: will do great with other dogs Cats: will do fine with cats Training: needs full obedience training 1. In my short life, I haven't experience much kindness and care until coming into the safety of IDGSR. I'm now thriving! 2. I'm a mix of 2 high energy breeds, Husky & German Shepherd. I'll learn to use my voice to express my feelings, I'm sure I'll love water, and love to play all the time. 3. I'm just a little girl and don't know anything yet. I need a patient adopter to teach me house & crate training and eventually obedience when I'm a little older. 4. Being so young I'll get along with anyone and everyone. If you have kids, dogs, cats, turtles, and nosey neighbors, we will all be best friends. 5. I would love to go on walks, have lots and lots of play time, tummy rubs, pup-cups, play in the water in the summer, go on hikes when I'm bigger - all the super cool things the big dogs get to do! 6. If you are ready to commit to a puppy and are looking for a handsome, friendly, funny, playful, and energetic new companion - I'm your gal! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

IDGSR Welcomes OCTOBER into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends!

Quick Facts Age: 1yr old Kids: would do fine with older kids (10+) Dogs: good with large dogs Cats: NO cats Training: needs standard obedience training 1.

My dream home is with a person or family who will give me lots of love, a dog bed of my own, tasty treats, take me on walks, give lots of tummy rubs, and help me live my best life. 4. I would love to explore in the neighborhood or on walking trails, play zoomy tag with a nice male doggo, and snuggle on the couch. 5. If you are looking for a beautiful, young, resilient, friendly, athletic, and lovely new companion - I'm your girl! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

Story
Meet Gunner, a 5-month-old, 22-lb sweetheart with the gentlest heart. Gunner was dumped at a construction site in Puerto Rico, surrounded by loud, scary machines and chaos. Terrified, he hid inside a storage container just trying to stay safe. Thankfully, rescuers found him before something terrible happened. Because of his rough start, Gunner can be a little shy at first — but it is more of a docile tentativeness as he is still incredibly loving and affectionate. He absolutely loves to snuggle and melts into you when give him belly rubs. Underneath his timid side is a soft, sweet puppy who just wants comfort, kindness, and someone to trust. Gunner also has a tiny little club foot, but vets say it is completely fine and purely cosmetic — it doesn’t slow him down one bit and there is nothing medically wrong with him. If anything, it just makes him look like he’s salsa dancing when he walks, which honestly makes him even more adorable. Now Gunner is ready for a forever home where he can continue building confidence, soaking up love, and finally experience the safe, happy puppyhood he always deserved.
