IDGSR Welcomes SUNNY into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Sunny and I'm adorable 5-6 month old male Shepherd mix. I am located near Nashville, TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 5-6 months old Kids: will do great with kids Dogs: will do great with other dogs Cats: will do fine with cats Training: needs full obedience training 1. My siblings and I were dumped on a rural road left to fend for ourselves and suffer. Thankfully someone kind picked us up and brought us to the best rescue. 2. My mix breed is a mystery! I have some Shepherd-like features but a smaller body and a little wiggly nub tail. Wouldn't it be so cool to do a DNA test and see what I'm mixed with? 3. I'm just a baby and know nothing, nada, not one ounce of civilized doggy behavior. I need a patient adopter to teach me house & crate training and eventually give me a PHD in obedience skills. 4. I will get along with anyone and everyone. If you have kids, dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, or a crabby neighbor, my good looks & fun-loving personality will make every heart melt! 5. If you are ready to commit to 10-15yrs of love, laughter, puppy kisses, the occasional muddy floor, loyalty, and adventure - I'm your guy! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

My name is Jack and I'm an adorable 5-month old male Shepherd mix. I am located in Greeneville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 5-months old Kids: will do fine with kids Dogs: will do fine with other dogs Cats: unknown Training: needs full obedience training 1. I had been living on my own near a golf course, no one really wanted to feed or take care of me. Thankfully a nice man helped me and brought me to the best rescue! 2. I'm just a little guy learning how to be a civilized pup. I'm doing great on house/crate training but please be patient with me since I'm still learning. 3. I do need full obedience training. I am smart & catch on quickly! Pro tip - if you have tasty treats and talk real sweet, I'll do just about anything! 4. I'm learning that toys are so much fun! I've never had toys of my own and would love to have a bunch to play with! 5. Exploring in the backyard, following my foster dad, and attempting to get into mischief are some of my favorite things. Hey, I'm just a puppy! 6. If you are looking for a cute, resilient, playful, curious, energetic, and lovely new companion - I'm your guy! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

IDGSR Welcomes SAMBA into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Samba and I'm a beautiful cream Shepherd mix. I am located near Nashville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 5yrs old Kids: teenage or adult home preferred Dogs: good with large male dogs Cats: NO cats Training: needs obedience training 1. I'm brand new to the rescue. My great foster mom busted me out of the scary shelter where I was beginning to shut down. I'm learning what it's like to live in a loving home. 2. I'm a Shepherd mix gal with shorter legs, I'm a shortykins. My medium stature would be great for someone wanting a German Shepherd look but smaller size. I'd do fine in an apartment, condo, or townhome with proper exercise. 3. I would do fine as an only dog or with a nice male companion. I'm more mellow and don't care for the high energy of young puppies or rowdy kids. 4. Being a middle aged gal, I have half decent manners. I could use an obedience refresher, it will also help us bond. Pro tip: use hot dogs or cheese & I'll do anything! 5. If you have been looking for a medium size friendly, moderate energy, house/crate trained, overall wonderful new companion - I'm your girl! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

IDGSR Welcomes FRANKLIN into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Franklin and I'm adorable 10-week old male Shepherd/Lab mix. I am located in Greeneville, TN and will be ready for transport on July 10th. Quick Facts Age: 10-weeks old Kids: will do great with kids Dogs: will do great with other dogs Cats: will do fine with cats Training: needs full obedience training 1. My family & I were rescued from living in horrible conditions. My beautiful German Shepherd mom was chained, not given proper care, and almost died from a flood.
