Story
Sweet, loving little Bentley, a typical terrier! Loves to run and jump like a gazelle in the yard. He is a hunter, though, so be sure the yard has no visitors like chipmunks, groundhogs, rabbits, etc. before he runs free. Like all terriers, Bentley is active and quick-moving. However, he is also responsive to directions; in fact, Bentley is very sensitive and affectionate and is eager to please. Unfortunately, for unknown reasons, he is terrified of men. We are working on this trust issue, but he will most likely be comfortable only in an all-female home. Bentley eats ravenously with a slow feeder dish, sleeps all night, and is completely housetrained. He rarely barks, is fine alone for a few hours, and is not destructive. What more could you ask for? Bentley is a real mix of breeds! His foster ran a DNA test on him and it came as 18% Chihuahua 16% Chow chow 11% Rottweiler 11% German Shepherd 10% Shih Tzu 6% Doberman Pinscher 5% American Cocker Spaniel All other small percentages: Lhasa Apso, Keeshond, American Eskimo, American Pit Bull Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, Toy Poodle, Border Collie, Shetland Sheepdog, Standard Poodle! If you are seeking a loving little companion, who will enjoy the outdoors with you, and then snuggle up beside you, Bentley is your guy! Just like the high-class car that shares his name, he is a high-class boy! My Profile Age: 6 years old Weight: 31 pounds Good with kids: Unknown Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: Unknown, but high prey drive Fenced yard: Yes Suitable for townhouse and/or apartment: No House trained: Yes. Crate trained: Yes Barks when left alone: No Chews inappropriate items: No Training: None yet, looking forward to a class Activity level: Medium Meet Me If you are interested in Bentley, consider letting us know by filling out a (no-obligation) adoption application at pgspca.org/adopt. Please consult our Adoption FAQ before contacting us. Please check the adoption-show-attendees page to see if Bentley will be attending the next adoption show. NOTE: We are an all volunteer group and do not operate a shelter. All of our animals are in foster homes. We are unable to place our animals outside of the Baltimore/DC area.

IDGSR Welcomes XANDER into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Happy Holidays! My name is Xander and I'm a handsome 10-11month old male German Shepherd mix dude. I'm located near Greeneville TN and will be available for transport. I wandered up to someone's house in hopes they would take me in. They let me stay there for a little while but didn't want to keep me. Thankfully IDGSR came to my rescue! 1. I'm an affectionate, sweet, loving, and energetic pup. I love to play, run in the yard, and cuddle up on the couch. 2. I am CAT FRIENDLY!! I've heard this is a big deal for dogs, I'm like a unicorn! Check out my video of me being so nice to the kitty. My previous home had lots of cats and I learned to be respectful. 3. I love to play with other dogs and hope you have a nice dog for me to play with. Oh, and if you have a fenced in yard for me to play in that would be awesome! 4. Like all good boys, I need to get a PHD in obedience training. I am super smart and will learn anything you can teach me. Let's prove to your nosey neighbor that you have the most well behaved dog on the block! 5. I'm desperate to find a loving person or family to call my own. I heard this holiday season is so special, can you find it in your heart to welcome me into your home?

Story
IDGSR Welcomes DAYZ into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Happy Holidays! My name is DayZ (pronounced Daisy) and I’m a resilient and sweet 3-4yr female German Shepherd. I am located near Memphis TN and will be available for transport. I was dumped on the streets of Memphis after being used as a breeding dog. I was severely underweight and very neglected. Thanks to a Good Samaritan, now my foster dad, he rescued me & nursed me back to health! 1. Despite being dumped on the streets, I have SOO much love to give! I’m affectionate, sweet, and resilient. 2. I am great with other dogs! In my video you can see me interacting with several. I hope you have a nice pup in your home for me to play with! 3. I’m house trained and don’t have to be in a kennel! 4. I love to lounge on my comfy dog bed & chew a yummy bone. I also love to run & play in the yard! 5. Like all good pups, I want to get a PHD in Obedience Training. I’m super smart and will learn anything you can teach me. Will you paw-promise to train me? 6. If you are looking for a loving, family friendly, resilient, sweet, and smart new companion - I’m your gal!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Kylo is an amazingly gentle, kind, sweet and funny  dog who has had his share of bad luck.  But thanks to a generous volunteer who saved him from a terrible situation, he is now ready for the next phase in his life…to find his forever loving family and home. Kylo was found in a shed; he was emaciated, injured, scared, and starving.  He may have been used as a bait dog since his teeth are filed down.  Despite all this, and thanks to the wonderful 24/7 care that he received, he has flourished into a healthy, happy, energetic, and beautiful boy.  Check out the videos of him running around with his dog friends. He knows SIT, TOY, PLAY, POTTY and BED and is so smart, he will probably learn even more with some basic training. He has a stuffy lamb chop that he carries around. Fetch is his favorite game and he loves  playing with other dogs. He is living with a cat. Kylo lives with children and loves his 10-year old grandson.   Dear Kylo is an affectionate dog who now needs his own loving family to complete his story and journey.  You will be rewarded with a devoted, and adoring companion dog.
