My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PERSONALITY & BEHAVIORS

Meet Dean, a great dog with wonderful "dad energy." A sensitive soul who is a bit cautious and watchful, Dean's ideal home would be with someone who wants a true-blue companion. He is like a walking weighted blanket, and he wants to be where you are in true cuddle bug style!

Dean loves to go on walks and is a great runner, but is just as great at chillaxing--even swinging in a hammock with you! He also loves food and likes veggie and fruit treats the best (in moderation of course).

This boy adapts well to household activities, meaning Dean is a "down with doing whatever you want to do, man" kind of fellow. Slightly nervous about new people, he's funniest and goofiest around people he knows. If he were taking a personality quiz, he would be assessed as "slightly introverted with extrovert tendencies."

While Dean is great with other dogs and came from a household with three other dogs, he would prefer to be the only dog.

Although Dean would love a fenced yard, it's not a requirement as long as he gets regular daily walks. Dean is cat-friendly and has lived with cats, but may love them more than they like him! At his foster home there are two really chill cats, and he loves to sniff them and check them out! Dean is crate- and house-trained, and sleeps through the night without a peep.

In no time, this sweet dog--who more than anything wants lots of quality time with his people--will surely become a happy, treasured, and devoted member of the household!

HISTORY
Dean's owner passed away, and he came into IAR to find his new forever home.

HEALTH
Dean is up-to-date on all vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative, and neutered.

PHYSICAL
Dean is lean and fit, with short tan fur and a white chest and white socks. He has intelligent brown eyes, a pink nose, and an adorably furrowed brow!

Additional adoption info

Adoption Requirements

You must be prepared to make a lifetime commitment to the animal.

You may not be an undergraduate student.

You must be a US citizen or green card holder.

Adoption Process

Fill out an adoption interest application HERE.

Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

Note: IAR makes every effort to please our adopters, but our first concern must be for the animal’s welfare. We reserve the right to deny any application.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
