Story
IDGSR Welcomes ZANE into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Zane and I'm a handsome 1.5yr old male German Shepherd. I am located near Greeneville, TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 1.5yrs old Kids: will do fine with teenagers (13+) or adult only home Dogs: good with other large female dogs Cats: NO cats Training: needs full obedience training 1. I have been failed by humans many times in my short 1.5yrs of life. I was at a high kill shelter ready for euthanasia when IDGSR saved me. I was then adopted & returned because it takes me some time to decompress. 2. I'm a sweet boy with a lost soul. I've never had a family that loves me and I'm desperate for one. 3. My forever adopter needs to be a strong leader with a patient heart. I need guidance, socialization, and training. I'm a very smart boy but I just need a leader. 4. Will you paw-promise to train me? I want to learn how to be an obedient boy and do all the cool things the big dogs do. I want to learn recall, leash walking, place command, down, sit, stay, & anything else you can teach me! 5. I would love to go on walks or hikes with you! I'm an active boy and can keep up with your energy. 6. If you are looking to help change a life and get unlimited love & loyalty in return, adopting me will be your greatest achievement in 2026! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

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.
