Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Steven Tyler is a 2 year old handsome, endearing, and smart shepherd who is in a very crowded shelter after being found as a stray. The volunteers who love him and believe in him, know that he deserves a chance at having his own family.   This beautiful pup will thrive in a home with a family or person who understands and appreciates the intelligence and devotion of the GSD breed and will enjoy playtime, exercise and training with him.   His ideal person or family will have experience with hesitant dogs and understand that trust takes time and that it’s so worth it.   In return, they will have a loyal companion dog who will be by their side for all the joys and adventures in life. He loves to play fetch, take walks and run around.  Because of his strength, a home with older children is recommended. Steven Tyler is currently in Texas but transport will be provided.  He is HW positive with no microfalaria and currently on doxy.    PLEASE NOTE : THE DOG LISTED IS SHOWN AS A COURTESY TO ANOTHER ORGANIZATION OR FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WHO NEEDS TO FIND A NEW HOME FOR THEIR DOG.

Story
Meet Meatball Now before you ask… yes, I am tiny. Yes, my name is Meatball. And yes, I fully believe I am the main character everywhere I go. I am a happy, playful little guy with a BIG personality packed into one adorable meatball-shaped body. My hobbies include backyard zoomies, supervising all household activities, and following my humans so closely you may accidentally trip over me at least twice a day. Personal space? Never heard of her. I am a certified Velcro puppy and would happily glue myself to your side forever. Adventure? COUNT ME IN. Car ride for a pup cup? I’m already in the passenger seat. Hike? Let me grab my emotional support zoomies. Backyard playtime? I can run laps like I’m training for the Puppy Olympics. I’m great with other dogs, good with cats, and love kids too. Basically, I’m the friendly little sidekick everyone wants around. I’m the kind of puppy that turns every errand into a road trip and every couch cuddle into a full-body snuggle session. If you’re looking for a best friend who will love you with his whole tiny Meatball heart, keep you laughing, and happily become your fuzzy little shadow… I’m your boy. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

IDGSR Welcomes RUBY into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Ruby and I'm a beautiful 6-7yr old female German Shepherd. I am located near Nashville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 6-7yrs old Kids: would do fine with kids (7+) Dogs: good with large dogs Cats: CAT FRIENDLY! Training: obedience refresher 1. I wandered up to a lady's house hoping she's feed and help me but she didn't want me to hang around so she called animal control. Thankfully a nice officer helped me & brought me to the best rescue!! 2. For an older gal, I'm pretty mild mannered. I have a lot of love to give even tho people haven't been very kind to me in my past. 3. I am CAT FRIENDLY! Check out my video. If you've been wanting to adopt a German Shepherd and have kitties at home, we should get along just fine. 4. I would love to have a real family who will love me and give me the best life I can have. I'd love a comfy bed of my own, lots of treats, tummy rubs, and endless love and attention. 5. The saying old dogs can't learn new tricks - thats not true! If you have tasty treats and some patience, I'll learn whatever you'll teach me. 6.
