My story

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

Scrabble is a lean, lanky fellow with a ton of joie de vivre (joy of life) and the energy to match. Watching him bound around the yard is a wonder -- this guy is an athlete! He's still learning his puppy manners, including walking on a leash and respecting boundaries with the older dog in his foster home. He knows "sit", takes treats gently, is crate trained and sleeps quietly in his crate overnight. But his great skill is fetching -- he loves to run like the wind after a ball and bring it proudly back. He is quiet and chill during car rides and cooperative during bath time.

Because he is working on controlling his puppy-ish energy, Scrabble would be best in a home without small children, and with someone who will commit to working on leash skills. A fenced yard would be ideal but not required if he gets a lot of exercise. Scrabble is smart and eager to please and with patient, positivity-based training, he will make an excellent doggie companion.

HEALTH

Scrabble is up to date on his shots and neutered.

HISTORY

Scrabble was a stray who came into IAR from a local shelter.

PHYSICAL

Scrabble is long and lean (he is working on putting on a few lbs), with long legs, bright brown eyes, a black coat and a pretty white blaze on his chest. He will need to receive regular grooming to prevent mats.

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.
