For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
IDGSR Welcomes LUKE into the safety of the rescue!!
THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT
**************
Howdy! My name is Luke and I'm an ultra handsome bi-color 6year old male German Shepherd. I am located near Madisonville, Tennessee and am available for transport to my forever home!
A little backstory on me: It was a cold February day, I was wandering around by myself, starving, hurting, and desperately needing a warm and safe home. These great people saved me, nursed me back to health, and have helped me be ready for adoption! My foster mom can share more of my story if you'd like to know!
Here are 10 fun facts about me & my ideal home!
1. I'm a big boy, about 88lbs, & I LOVE attention! I love getting all the pets, ear scratches, and tummy rubs.
2. I know how to sit, shake, lay down, and I'm a champ when walking on a leash! We could brush up on some of my obedience training but I'm pretty well behaved.
3. I'm KID FRIENDLY!! You can see me with some fun kiddos in my video. I also LOVE puppies and do well with calm dogs. If you have a calm pupper, with proper introductions we can learn to get along.
4. I am house trained! My foster mom says I'm a "perfect gentleman" and I don't get into anything when they leave me at home.
5. I love to play with my humans. I don't really understand toys but I do love to play. Maybe you can teach me how to play ball or with other toys?!
6. I love peanut butter, cheese, treats, and dog cookies - I'll do just about anything for one of those!
7. If you like to play dress up for holidays, I don't mind the occasional outfit, as long as it makes me look extra handsome!
8. I LOVE car rides and feeling the wind on my face!
9. My perfect home is with a person or family who will treat me as a member of the family, love me, give me lots of treats and tummy rubs, and will remind me every single day that I'm the bestest boy EVER!
10. I'm super resilient, loving, affectionate, calm, friendly, and the perfect gentleman.
