My name is Tazer and I'm a handsome 1.5-2yr old male German Shepherd mix dude. I am located near Nashville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts: Age - 1.5-2yrs old Kids - will do fine with teenagers (13+) Dogs - good with large female dogs Cats - NO cats Training - needs full obedience training 1. My foster mom saved my brother & I from being euthanized. We were already in the room waiting to be put down when she busted us out of there! We are so grateful!! 2. I am a little timid to warm up to new people, rightfully so because in my past people haven't been so kind to me. With calm energy, treats, and patience, I do warm up! 3. I love getting to explore in the backyard and play with the female rescue dogs. It's best I be the only male doggo in my next home. I'd love to have a friendly lady friend to play with! 4. Since I'm a young guy, I need to learn all the obedience work. I'm smart and can learn anything with treats & patience. Will you paw-promise to train me? 5. Now that fall is here, I'd love to go on walks, hikes, hang out in the backyard, or anything outdoorsy as long as I'm with you. 6. If you are looking for a handsome, resilient, strong, athletic, and loyal new companion - I'm your guy! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

Cat Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNt60u5Z0fI 4. I deserve to live a life fit for a princess after all I endured. I want to go on nice walks, get these things called pup-cups, snuggle on the couch to watch a movie, be your sous chef in the kitchen, go on road trips, and live our best lives together! 5.

IDGSR Welcomes WOODY into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Howdy Partner! The name is Sheriff Woody, the rootin' tootin'est cowboy in East Tennessee. I'm about 1yr old, a super handsome German Shepherd, and I'm located near Greeneville TN. I'm also ready to go on transport to my forever home. Quick Facts Age: 1yr old Dogs: good with both male & female large dogs Kids: would do fine with older kids (10+) Cats: NO cats Training: standard obedience refresher 1. I was at a shelter just waiting and waiting. I'm not sure why I ended up there because I'm a pretty great boy. Thankfully IDGSR busted me outta that joint and put me in a great foster home! 2. My foster mom says I'm a huge softie! I love to snuggle and be close to my person. I desperately want to bond to my human and give all my love & affection, also lots of sloppy kisses. 3. I play great with both male & female dogs. I need proper introductions but thats what most doggos need. I hope you have a nice pup for me to play with! 4. I'm very smart and food motivated. I've already learned multiple obedience commands, have been working on nice leash skills, and my house manners are pretty darn good. Will you paw-promise to continue training me? 5. I really want a family of my own, especially since the holidays are here.

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!
