I am located near the Greenville, Tennessee area but am available for transport. I'm affectionate, loving, and have decent manners. I have a very nice personality, I love to have my ears and chin scratched. I could benefit from some obedience training just to make sure I am very respectful. I am a good listener and pretty smart so I'm sure I'll catch on quickly. I do well with other large dogs. It would be best if I was around a large female just to be safe.

IDGSR Welcomes DAKOTA into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN MASSACHUSETTS & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hi there! My name is Dakota and I’m a handsome 5yr old Shepherd mix. I’m originally an IDGSR dog and have been welcomed back into the rescue due to some life changes with my current family. I know my forever family is out there, I hope it will be with you! *PERSONALITY* I’m a super great dog. I’m friendly with all people that I meet, I’m house & kennel trained, I love to play but don’t have all that crazy puppy energy. I like to go on adventures, play tug, and go anywhere with you. *TRAINING* I already know several commands: paw, off, & wait. I’m very smart and think it would be so cool to learn some more advanced obedience commands. Doing this will help me bond to you & make sure I’m the bestest boy. *IDEAL HOME* My forever home will be with a loving person or family, one that will give me a lot of love and attention. I’d like a yard to play in, a comfy bed to lounge on, and to take walks or go on outings. If you are looking for a loving, mature, smart, and handsome best friend - I’m you guy!

My name is Maya and I'm a beautiful 6-yr old female German Shepherd. I am located near the Memphis, Tennessee area and am available for transport to my forever home.

I am also e-collar trained and do well on & off leash. I need a person who will be patient with me and will work with me on these things so we can bond & I can learn to take commands you. One of my favorite things to do is play ball! I have a HUGE ball drive. I hope you have a yard and will play ball with me! I bond extremely tightly to my owner, I hope you are looking for a loyal companion who will love and protect you. If you are looking for a mature, sweet, loving, friendly, energetic, incredibly smart, and outgoing new bestie - I'm your girl!

If you like running, walking, hiking, exploring, going to get Pup-Cups, or playing outside, I'd always love to go with you! Since I'm a big sweet boy, I could benefit from some obedience training. I'm SUPER smart and will catch on quickly to anything you can teach me. This will help us bond & prove that I'm the smartest pup around!

Story
Foxy is roughly a year and a half old. She weighed about 65lbs at her last vet visit. She is so sweet and full of energy. She can be spastic and hilarious at times. She loves to run, play, and explore. She and her littermate Ella do not really get along for more than 10-20 minutes, but she is good with my other dogs. She will DEFINITELY need a fenced in yard and some training. She likes going on walks wearing her harness. She loves attention and belly rubs! She is also crate trained. I’m not sure what she is mixed with, but she will howl when there are sirens. We found her on the side of the road Dec. 2022 along with her mom and 3 siblings. I’m including a picture of poor momma. You can tell she definitely put her pups first. Animal control could not fit all of them in the truck, so we offered to take 2 of the pups home and work with a rescue to find them a home. Here we are over a year later with no luck. Foxy needs a good loving home that can give her the attention she deserves.

Hi everyone! I am back here because my dad moved where he can no longer keep me. I was used to spending most of my time outdoors, I get very stressed if left indoors alone. The only way I like cats is as a snack! I do get along with other dogs. Would like a home with no cats and someone who can spend lots of time with me. I do seem to like women more than men. I also am good at climbing fences, so I do need to be watched while I'm outside. Born 12/4/2018.

Story
Hi! I'm Frankie! I'm a 2-year-old German Shepard-Husky mix. I was found as a stray and brought to the rescue for my safety. We do not know how I do with cats or children as I am a stray, but the workers here would recommend kids 12 and up due to my high energy and probably no cats. They would also recommend either a single dog home for me or we would need to be very selective as I believe I'm dog selective at this time as well. I am up to date on my vaccines, spayed and will be microchipped before I leave the rescue to go to mmy furever home!

Story
https://www.greenepets.org/adoptionapplicaiton.html My name is Leo, short of Leopold. I am a smart and loyal friend, quick to stay at your side once you earn my trust. I do a good job of staying calm in various situations as long as I know you have my back. I love food and am very willing to work for treats. Maybe I can be your new sidekick? Special Handler, Savvy Belgian Malinois Dog Owner Leopold is absolutely amazing. He is extremely laid back and such a gentleman. I pulled him from Animal Control this morning because he was on his "death's door date". He was okay meeting a stranger "me" and didn't pull as we walked to the truck. Opened the tailgate and told him to "Hup" and up he went. He had a couple of barks on the 15-mile trip to our kennels, but he didn't mind being in the back. He also waited when I opened the tailgate to unload him. Didn't dismount until invited. He will be in chill mode for the next three days and he is barking in the kennel. During this time I will be making every effort to find his owner and figure out what brought him to Greene County. Leopold will be assessed this Friday. He currently seems very laid back, and a little shy, though he has been great with all the new stuff thrown at him so far. Not a worker, I see more of a snuggler. And he was picked up with a small female terrier.
