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 NICO into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Howdy! My name is Nico & I'm a handsome 2yr old male German Shepherd. I am located in Greeneville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 2yrs old Kids: would do fine with older kids (12+) Dogs: good with large female dogs Cats: NO cats Training: needs full obedience training 1. I'm new to the rescue. My previous 'owner' decided they didn't want me anymore so they discarded me. Thankfully IDGSR is committed to finding me a loving home! 2. I'm a BIG boy, weighing about 90lbs. I need a stern & experienced owner who will teach me that I'm not the boss, even tho I would love to be. I thrive with routine, structure, and consistency. 3.

I would make an active companion! I'm fast and athletic so I can keep up with daily walks, hikes, or runs. Being active is great for my mental & physical health. 5.
