We were kept in a nasty pen outside with no food or water, left to starve and die. Thankfully IDGSR saved us! 2. My mom was a German Shepherd and my dad was the milkbone delivery guy. We aren't sure what I'm mixed with, wouldn't it be cool to do a DNA test?! 3. I am just a baby so I don't know anything but I do know that I'm smart and will learn anything you can teach me. 4. Being so young, I'll get along with anyone. If you have kids, cats, dogs, chickens, horses, or geckos, we will be best friends with proper training. 5.

IDGSR Welcomes ARAMIS into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Happy Pawlidays! My name is Aramis and I'm a big handsome 8-10month old male German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix. I am located near Greeneville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 8-10months Dogs: good with other large dogs Kids: would do fine with older kids (10+) Cats: NO cats Training: needs standard obedience training 1. My backstory is pretty sad.

Thanks to my wonderful foster mom, I was saved and brought into the safety of IDGSR! 2. Since being rescued, I've made a full recovery and am the happiest, most loyal, and oh so loving big boy. I am grateful for love, affection, tummy rubs, and tasty treats. 3. I get along great with other large breed doggos and would love to have a friend to play with. Even tho I'm a big boy, I'm a gentle player. Anyone up for a game of zoomies?! 4. I am very food & treat motivated! I need to learn some nice manners and obedience commands, will you paw-promise to train me? It will help us bond & prove I'm the bestest boy around. 5. I'm a fun loving, affectionate, goofy, friendly, loyal, and handsome guy. I'd love to snuggle up with you on a cold winter night and watch a movie or help you in the kitchen! 6. If you are looking for a resilient, active, loving, loyal, playful, and friendly new companion - I'm your guy! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

IDGSR Welcomes HARLEY into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Meet Harley: The Underdog Queen We Can’t Help but Love Listen… we know. Harley is not going to win “Miss German Shepherd USA.” Bless her heart, she looks like someone took a hound dog head, stuck it on a German Shepherd body, shook it, and said “Yep, good enough.” But what Harley lacks in traditional beauty, she makes up for in soul, sweetness, and the kind of charm that grows on you faster than you expect. Harley is a 6–7 year old German Shepherd–ish mix who has been patiently waiting for her person… and waiting… and waiting. She’s starting to suspect she showed up to the wrong audition. We promised we’d help her out. Here’s what you get when you adopt Harley: 1. A friend to all dogs – she’s the type who shows up at the dog park and instantly makes a friend group. 2. Friendly and gentle – she genuinely loves people, even if she gives them a “don’t judge my face, please” look first. 3. Talented performer – she will sit up pretty (and trust us, it’s adorable) for treats, snacks, and as many ear scratches as you’re willing to hand out. 4. A certified sweetheart – she just wants someone to love her, quirks, mismatched parts, and all. Harley may not be a supermodel, but she’s the dog version of that coworker who isn’t a looker but is everyone’s absolute favorite person. She’s loyal, hilarious without trying, and has a heart ten times bigger than her head (and her head is… substantial). If you’ve ever rooted for the underdog—or if you just want a companion who will love you unconditionally and make you laugh every day—Harley is your girl. Give this uniquely-built, tragically-cute sweetheart the chance she’s been waiting way too long for. **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!
