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!

IDGSR Welcomes BEN into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Howdy! My name is Ben, aka Big Ben, and I'm a handsome 5-6yr old male German Shepherd. I am located near Greeneville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts: Age - 5-6yr old Kids - adult home preferred Dogs - fine with large female dogs or as an only dog Cats - NO cats Training - could use an obedience refresher 1. I've been in the rescue the longest out of all the dogs. I'm not sure why I keep getting looked over. I'm handsome, athletic, and a fantastic example of what the German Shepherd breed is all about. 2. I am fully vetted: neutered, vaccinated, and ready to go to my forever home! 3. For a middle aged guy, I'm pretty active. I enjoy romping around the yard, sniffing all the things, and exploring. I'd love to go on walks, runs, or would be content to chill with you. 4. I would do best with someone who has prior German Shepherd experience. I'm a BIG boy, like pushing 100+ pounds. I'm healthy as a horse and have a lot of strength so my adopter needs to make sure that I know he/she is the boss. 5. I'm obsessed with my food bowl. I'll drag it around, spin it around, toss it and catch it. It's a weird obsession, I know, but hey at least I'm self entertained! 6.

I wandered up to someone's house hoping they would help me. I was lost or dumped, looking for safety. Thankfully some nice people helped me & brought me to the best rescue in the world! 2. I have the most unique eyes! One of my eyes is half blue & half brown, they are just one aspect of why I'm so special. I have a handsome shiny coat and medium size body. 3. I have some amazing qualities: I'm house & crate trained, happy-go-lucky, great with other puppers, and I'm super friendly! I walk well on a leash, I'm fairly independent, enjoy chewing on bones, and exploring in the yard. 4. I would make an excellent hiking, running, or active companion. I have LOTS of energy and would do best in an active home. If you have big health goals for 2026, let me be your hype dog! 5. My foster mom has started teaching me some obedience commands & it's going well. Will you paw-promise to continue my training? It will help us bond & prove to everyone you have the best pup around! 6. If you are looking for a handsome, resilient, friendly, obedient, smart, energetic, and loyal new best friend - I'm your guy! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

Story
IDGSR Welcomes BEN into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Howdy! My name is Ben, aka Big Ben, and I'm a handsome 5-6yr old male German Shepherd. I am located near Greeneville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts: Age - 5-6yr old Kids - adult home preferred Dogs - fine with large female dogs or as an only dog Cats - NO cats Training - could use an obedience refresher 1. I've been in the rescue the longest out of all the dogs. I'm not sure why I keep getting looked over. I'm handsome, athletic, and a fantastic example of what the German Shepherd breed is all about. 2. I am fully vetted: neutered, vaccinated, and ready to go to my forever home! 3. For a middle aged guy, I'm pretty active. I enjoy romping around the yard, sniffing all the things, and exploring. I'd love to go on walks, runs, or would be content to chill with you. 4. I would do best with someone who has prior German Shepherd experience. I'm a BIG boy, like pushing 100+ pounds. I'm healthy as a horse and have a lot of strength so my adopter needs to make sure that I know he/she is the boss. 5. I'm obsessed with my food bowl. I'll drag it around, spin it around, toss it and catch it. It's a weird obsession, I know, but hey at least I'm self entertained! 6. If you are looking for a BIG handsome, friendly, resilient, athletic, and overall lovely new companion - I'm your guy! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!
