I was at a shelter when my foster mom saw a picture of me and she knew I had to be pulled into the rescue! She busted me outta that shelter and now I'm in the bestest foster home! 2.

IDGSR Welcomes JOHANN into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Howdy folks! My name is Johann aka BIG GUY. I am an ultra handsome 5-6yr old male German Shepherd. I am located in Greeneville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 5-6yrs old Kids: adult home only Dogs: good with large female dogs, no small dogs Cats: NO cats Training: obedience refresher 1. I'm the new guy in the rescue. Unfortunately my previous home didn't take the best care of me, left me to wander around the neighborhood on my own. Thankfully I'm in the best foster home with a former K9 handler! 2. I'm a BIG dude and can stand to lose some weight. I walk great with a prong collar and love to be active. Toys are my driving force in life. If you can throw it, I will fetch it. 3. My forever home is either with a strong man, or someone with German Shepherd/working dog experience. No novice dog owners please. I'd do just fine as an only dog or with a large female companion. No small kids, cats, or small dogs. 4. I have a great toy drive and love to run in the back yard. I need to keep an active lifestyle to help me mentally & physically. A tired dog is a good dog. 5. If you have GSD experience and are looking for an incredibly handsome, intelligent, resilient, active, adventurous, and loyal new companion - I'm your guy! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

Story
  Meet your new adventure girl and professional couch cuddler! This beautiful black German Shepherd mix girl is a young 8 month old pup who is 43 pounds now with a destiny of about 55 pounds when a fully developed adult beauty.  She is a happy, playful, energetic, affectionate, and full of personality Shepherd girl who absolutely LOVES playing fetch and would happily keep the game going as long as you’re willing to throw the ball. She’s an active girl who would thrive with someone who enjoys walks, adventures, playtime, and keeping her both physically and mentally busy. She has been working with a professional dog trainer for approximately 4–5 months and has made great progress with consistent training and structure. She’ll do best with an owner who is willing to continue that consistency, give her plenty of exercise, and keep reinforcing everything she’s learned.  You must be dedicated to keep up this good work and structure for such an intelligent young girl.  She also loves cats — possibly a little too much! She’s very interested in her feline friends and loves trying to play with them, so any cats in her future home should be comfortable and confident around an enthusiastic canine roommate. Once she’s gotten all that energy out, though, she’s more than happy to switch gears. She LOVES climbing onto the couch for cuddles and settling in for a long nap with her person.   She’s looking for an active, committed home that will give her the exercise, consistency, playtime, and affection she thrives on. In return, you’ll get an enthusiastic fetch partner, adventure buddy, and one seriously dedicated couch-snuggler. ❤️   Please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com if you are interested in making this girl a part of your future dog fun and perhaps a running partner.  She is ready if YOU ARE!!!!    PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comSeptember 20, 2026, 9:28 pm
