Story
Bruce was adopted from "Love at First Sight" at 2 months old in 2022. He is 4 years old and needs a loving home that can spend time with him. He is a great companion and always follows you, he's loyal like no other dog. His control is a black ball that you can use to train and bond with him. His diet is a bit strict and cannot have many changes due to his breed's sensitive digestive system. Unfortunately, need to rehome as schedule and finances no longer align with the ability to have pets. He is calm and peaceful, plays anytime, anywhere, with anyone. He loves riding in a car, travelling, and is up for just about anything so long as he's with his owner. He is easily trainable and listens just like many of his breed and mix, just needs a bit of patience.

Story
IDGSR Welcomes AZALEA into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Azalea and I'm a beautiful 1yr old female German Shepherd. I am located near Nashville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 1yr old Kids: teenage or adult home preferred Dogs: only dog or large male dog Cats: NO cats Training: needs full obedience training 1. I came to IDGSR with a litter of tiny babies, who have all been adopted. I was living in a really bad situation so I'm super thankful IDGSR rescued us. 2. I'm just a baby myself, only a little over 1yr old. Thankfully, I'll never have puppies again and I'm ready to learn what being a loved dog is all about. 3. Considering my rough start to life, I am a bit behind socially. I need a patient adopter to socialize and train me. I need to build some confidence and learn that the whole world isn't out to get me. 4. I'm a smart girl and catch on quickly. Once I decompress, training should be a breeze! Pro tip: have some cheese, hot dogs, or other tasty treats & I'll do just about anything! 5. I'd love to find my forever person, follow them around, go on adventures, and I DREAM of cuddling! 6.
