My personality

My story

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

IDGSR Welcomes COAL into the safety of the rescue!!

THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN MARYLAND & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT

**************
Happy Holidays! My name is Coal & I'm a big 1yr old male black German Shepherd. I am currently at a board & train program with Mason Dixon K9 and will be available for transport after my training is done.

Quick Facts:
Age - 1yr old
Home - a home with a 6ft fenced in yard, no apartment or condo
Kids - Would be okay with teenager or older
Dogs - Good with large females
Cats - NO cats

1. I am a BIG boy! I need to be adopted by someone who can handle a big goofy pup like me.

2. I am good with other dogs, especially large females. I hope you have a friendly girl dog for me to play with!

3. Since I'm being trained by the best at Mason Dixon K9 once you adopt me, you'll have a well behaved pup. Ongoing training is a must, so be prepared to learn with me! Check out Mason Dixon K9's Facebook to see videos of everything I'm learning.

4. I am house & crate trained! I hear that is a win-win in the dog world. Don't you want to adopt the bestest boy around?!

5. I would love to have a fenced in yard for me to run and play in. Sometimes I get these things called ZOOMIES that make me run super fast! I need a place to stretch my long legs.

6. I desperately want to be Home for the Holidays with my forever family. If you are looking for a handsome, playful, smart, loyal, and amazing companion - I'm your guy!

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.
