My personality

My story

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

IDGSR Welcomes PETRA into the safety of the rescue!!

THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT

**************
Happy Holidays! My name is Petra and I'm a beautiful 2-4yr old German Shepherd. I'm located near Greeneville TN and available for transport.

Quick Facts:
Age - 2-4yr old
Home - ideally a home with a fenced in yard, no apartment or condo
Kids - Okay with older kids (12+)
Dogs - Good with large males, NO females or small dogs
Cats - NO cats
Training - Needs standard basic & advanced obedience training & a strong owner

1. I was rescued from a scary shelter by my wonderful foster mom. I have no idea why I was dumped there but I'm thankful to be with IDGSR waiting to find my forever home.

2. I have a lot of energy and love to play! I would love to have a safe fenced in backyard to run and play in.

3. I would absolutely love to go on adventures! Do you like walking, hiking, running, swimming, or chasing waterfalls? Me too! Let's go on cool trips together, especially this fall!

4. I’m very smart and would really love some obedience training. It’s fun and I get to use my brain. Will you paw-promise to train me to my fullest potential?

5. My ideal home is with someone who has prior German Shepherd experience, no first time GSD owners please. I would do fine with a confident male doggo.

6. I need to *avoid* homes with cats, small dogs, and female dogs.

7. If you are looking for a fun, energetic, smart and loving companion - I'm your girl!

More about this rescue

Imminent Danger German Shepherd Rescue started in 2011 rescuing German Shepherds and High Content Mixes from Imminent Danger where they were sitting on Death Row in High Kill Animal Control Facilities in TN, NC, SC, KY, VA, GA & AL. Over 1000 Dog's lives have been spared and we've never worked so hard in our lives to save these wonderful kids. Our process from saving these kids includes 30 years of experience in working breed dogs. We conduct Safer Tests with all dogs to determine the abilities of the dogs so that we can match the right dog to the right family. We do not shove our dogs out the door. We do multiple videos of the dogs as well to our potential adopters. We disclose all positive and negative behavior traits so our adopters can work on any training the dog may need. IDGSR starts the rehabilitation and training with these wonderful kids and our adopters are part of the team of folks who help to ensure these kids will never suffer another day of hardship in their lives again. IDGSR will not take Aggressive Dogs into the Rescue.
If you have ever loved a German Shepherd then you will know where our hearts are to save these dogs from a certain death. It is our goal to save more but we need wonderful qualified families who want to save a life and welcome a new family member. We continue the work with our adopters even after adoption including helping with training, and giving advice and counsel. IDGSR's staff look forward to hearing from you. Help us to find your new devoted and loyal best friend.
