Story

IDGSR Welcomes GAIA into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Gaia and I'm the most adorable 4-month old 18-pound little girl you've ever seen! I'm located near Nashville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts: Age - 4-months old Kids - will do fine with kids Dogs - great with other dogs Cats - never been around cats Training - needs obedience training 1. You may be wondering why a little terrier mix like myself is in a German Shepherd rescue... well, I'm a German Shepherd in disguise!! I have the coloring of a GS but I'm micro size! 2. I came into the rescue from a scary shelter that didn't help me in my time of need. In my short little life, I had an injury to my back leg. Don't worry!! It's healed well but I won't be running any marathons in my life. 3. As you can see in my videos, I'm quite spunky. I'm sassy, silly, playful, energetic, and great with other dogs. 4. I have been working on house & crate training. It's a slow process but I'm getting the hang of it. 5. When I'm a little bigger, will you paw-promise to teach me obedience commands? I'm a smart girl & will catch on quickly! 6. If you have been wanting a pup that looks like a German Shepherd but that's pocket size, one that is goofy, friendly, and you can hold like a baby - I'm your girl!! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

Story

Say hello to Archie!! This cutie is three years old, UTD on all vaccinations, neutered, completed heartworm treatment and on Nexguard. Archie is definitely a house dog. After he does his business, he looks in the windows until you come for him! Archie loves his people. He runs in reverse in front of you so he knows exactly where you are going - it is adorable. He loves to sit on his bottom next to you, and lean against your shoulder while getting belly rubs. He loves stuffed toys and is learning to retrieve a tennis ball. This sweet baby is ready for a foster or adopter. He loves to play with other dogs. Archie does bark when strangers enter the house. This seems to be more from fear than aggression. Please consider this pup to be a top notch pet and a friend for life.This cutie pie was almost completely shut down when pulled from the pound. He didn’t eat or drink for two days and was lifeless in my lap. Things began to slowly change the third day. Archie liked ear rubs. His appetite began to return and a glimmer of personality started to sparkle. After two weeks with us, he is perfectly happy with non stop petting in my lap! He hops backward if he wants to get away quickly! Archie’s loves chew toys and piles them up in his favorite chair. He gets along really well with our senior JRT. This baby won’t let you get out of sight!! He needs more time in a good foster home to maintain trust. Boarding would be devastating to his progress. He is currently on heartworm treatment and is the most compliant pill taker I have ever seen. Listen to your heart and step up for Archie.I received a call about Archie who was being held at an animal shelter in Mississippi. He wasn’t adjusting and was shutting down. I picked him up and brought him home. He collapsed in my lap, not responding but obviously grateful for comfort. Archie is blossoming quickly. His visit to the vet revealed he is 22 pounds and3-5 years old. He received all of his shots and was neutered. He is receiving treatment for hookworms and is heartworm positive. Despite having a couple of health issues, Archie is beginning to shine. He has become an active, wiggly young fellow. Archie wants to be a lap dog but is so excited, he stands and wiggles instead! He shakes hands!! He isn’t a big barker.His appetite has improved and he eats well now. Archie takes his meds easily. He would love playmates. He tries to play with our elderly JRT, but Scout says nope. I haven’t been able to expose him to children, so no recommendation on that. I think after he settles down he will be a great pet. He is already doing well on a leash.
