Story
He's the sweetest soul; his pretty brown eyes will make you fall in love. A friend of the family had given us Kobe. He is just about a year old. His birthday is January 5, 2025. He has been crate trained, however we have a very busy schedule and he can benefit from a family that can get him obedience training and have the time and ability to play with him and burn some energy. He's an intelligent dog. He needs to be socialized a bit more with other dogs. He is not violent, but is very curious and likes to sniff people and other dogs to get to know them.

Story
🌟 Foster Needed for February: Meet Tabitha, Our Special Senior German Shepherd 🌟 Tabitha’s story is nothing short of miraculous. She was saved from a heartbreaking area where dogs were often shot for sport. One day, she stumbled upon the right home—a kind person who refused to look away and contacted someone who came to save her. From there, Tabitha found safety at a roadside rescue network and began her long journey toward a better life. For the past few years, Tabitha has been living at the rescue headquarters. During that time, she completed much-needed heartworm treatment and is now healthy and ready to take the next step. Tabitha is a true gem. She loves stealing toys and hiding them in her crate, a playful quirk that melts the hearts of everyone who meets her. She adores being walked by visitors, is crate trained, and is good with other dogs. Her best friend is a male named Winston. However, she isn’t cat-friendly, so her foster home will need to be feline-free. Her salt-and-pepper face tells us she’s a senior, though her exact age is unknown. What we do know is that she’s full of love and deserves a warm, safe place to call home. We’re looking for a foster for February. Can you be the next stop on Tabitha’s incredible journey? If you’re interested in fostering Tabitha, please reach out! Let’s give this amazing girl the love and care she so deeply deserves. We will provide everything you need! 📩 info@bigwavedogrescue.com Foster 🎾 https://www.bigwavedogrescue.org/foster Adopt 🦴 https://www.bigwavedogrescue.org/adopt

Story
**Please read Sky's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application. Thank you!** The sky's the limit with this one! Meet Sky, a 5-year-old German Shepherd mix, weighing 70 pounds (as of 1/25/26)! This happy-go-lucky lady was found as a stray on the streets of Tennessee but hopes to liven your darkest days with her heroism and smile! This sweet girl is very smart and very trainable. In fact, she's preparing to join the Avengers on their next mission so Sky will need an active home where her owners will have time to work with her and take her on long walks or even hikes. When she's not fighting the forces of evil or saving helpless civilians, Sky is constantly on the search for her next job whether that's walking, being a hiking buddy or a cuddle buddy! Sky is eager to please her person and truly loves everyone she meets. While she doesn't have any experience with kiddos, we think she'll be fine since she loves her people. Sky has also lived with dogs of all sizes! She does tend to chase cats so she'd probably be good in a home without them. Sorry kitties! No hard feelings. Sky is great with leashes but isn't as fond of crates (it's basically her Kryptonite) but her foster says she doesn't need a crate as she does great and behaves well. Sky hopes to learn commands at her future home so she can fight against the forces of evil! The only thing Sky asks from her future family is patience as she adjusts to your home. Sometimes she'll pace and do laps in the yard when she first comes to a home, but she'll eventually settle down (which is common in German Shepherds). Think of it as her scoping out the area for any bad guys! Also, loud noises such as the vacuum will make her pace and be on the alert. Who needs a security system, when you've got Sky right at home! Sky does have a little stub of a tail due to it being amputated, but it just makes her that more adorable especially when she wags it! This girl's a fighter and she's happy to show off her battle scars. All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. All dogs require professional training to become the best family member they can be. To adopt or learn more about Harper Lee, you must fill out an adoption application. To find the application, copy and paste this URL into your browser: WWW.GDRNE.COM/ADOPTION-APPLICATION [Adoption Fee: $495] ** This dog is currently out of state but will be transported to New England shortly with no additional travel costs. The long distance adoption process includes talking to the foster they are living with in the south. Roughly 90% of our dogs are successfully long distance adopted and 10% adopted locally. PLEASE READ: If a dog is listed, then s/he is currently available for adoption. Their information is correct to the best of our abilities and the information we have been given as of the day of posting. Please note, GDRNE does not guarantee the breed of any dog or puppy unless stated that we have run DNA. All breeds listed are educated estimates. Our dogs are rescued from various situations. It is most likely that both their parents were strays and even if not, mixes of some sort and that their grandparents were mixes as well. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them a breed all their own - a True and adorable American MUTT. If you are interested in this dog, you must submit an application. Great Dog is not a shelter so there is no building you can visit. Our dogs live in private foster homes until adopted.

Story
IDGSR Welcomes NOVA into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Nova and I'm a sweet 4-6yr old female Shepherd/Malinois mix gal. I am located near Nashville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts: Age - 4-6yrs old Kids - will do fine with older kids (10+) Dogs - good with large male dogs Cats - NO cats Training - needs standard obedience training 1. My story is pretty sad. I was chained to a tree with no interaction, used for breeding. I had my last litter of puppies (all have been adopted) and now it's my turn! 2. My foster mom estimates my age to be about 4-6yrs old. We aren't quite sure but because of my hard upbringing, I have a little more gray on my face. 3. I enjoy taking walks, exploring in the backyard, playing with other large breed dogs, and resting with my foster mom. 4. I would love to find a person/family who will take me on walks, tell me I'm the bestest girl in the world, and show me what a loving family really is. 5. I could benefit from obedience training. I'm a cross between two very intelligent breeds so I'll catch on super quick. Also, training will help us bond! 6. If you are looking for a resilient, loving, friendly, sweet, and loyal new companion - I'm your girl! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!
