Story
Milky is a German Shepherd and Great Pyrenees mix, born in February 2023. Adopted in April, he’s a friendly, playful, and energetic dog who thrives on human interaction. He loves kids but is still learning his strength, so he’d do best in a home with experience handling large, active dogs. Milky hasn’t been fully house-trained yet, but he’s smart and eager to learn with the right guidance. He’d flourish in a home with a yard and plenty of time for play, training, and attention. Rehoming Milky is a heartbreaking decision, but family emergencies requiring frequent overseas travel and changes in our household, including a new baby on the way, have left us unable to give him the time and care he deserves. We’re seeking a loving, forever home for Milky where he can live his best life. If you’re ready to welcome a loyal, lively companion, please reach out to learn more or arrange a meet-and-greet!

Story
IDGSR Welcomes SHASTA into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Happy Holidays! My name is Shasta and I'm a 5-6yr old female German Shepherd. I am located near Greeneville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts: Age - 5-6yr old Home - ideally a home with a fenced in yard, no apartment or condo Kids - Would do well with kids (12+) Dogs - Good with large males, no females or small dogs Cats - NO cats Training - Needs standard obedience training I want to share my back story with you so you get a better understanding of my personality. I was rescued from a hoarding case. I lived my life on a short chain, with no shelter, no adequate food or water. I was strictly used for breeding, had numerous litters of puppies, and wasn't treated with any love or care. When I was being rescued, my former owner hit me on the head with a cast iron skillet!! I have a bump on my head now but the vet tells me it will get better in time. 1. Despite my awful upbringing, I am a nice girl. I've never gotten to experience love, kindness, or even basic needs. The rescue has been wonderful for me to heal and now I'm ready to a forever loving home. 2. I would love to have a fenced in yard to explore in and a comfy bed to rest on. I don't require much because I've never had anything nice, if you can give me a good life, I will be forever grateful. 3. I would do best as either an only dog or with a confident male dog. I must be the only female dog in the home. It's also best that I avoid homes with small dogs and cats. 4. Now that I'm feeling much better, I love to jog in the backyard, check out what's going on, and have the occasional play time with one of the male foster dogs. 5. I've never spent a holiday with a loving person or family, I heard it's one of the most special times of the year. I hope you have a place in your heart & on your couch for a middle aged gal like me!

Meet ~LADY (COURTESY LISTING) **************************COURTESY LISTING*************************************** LADY IS NOT IN THE CARE OF IDGSR. IDGSR takes no responsibility for dogs adopted via courtesy listings. You must contact: Stephanie for further information about LADY and her adoption. Contact: Stephanie (Franklin County Animal Shelter in Rocky Mount,VA) Phone: (540) 483-7440 OR (540) 243-1408 ************** Hi there! My name is Lady and I’m a 8-9 year old female German Shepherd mix. I am located in Rocky Mount, VA and will be available for local pickup or available for transport. I was living a great life as the only pet when my human got sick and went to hospice. No one in the family stepped up to give me a home, so I was brought to the local shelter. The people at the shelter are so nice, but it was very overwhelming to me and I was very afraid. Sometimes when I was afraid I didn’t act like my friendly self. However, once I realized that they were here to help me find my next home, I started to come out of my shell. I’ve even been featured on the local news, but sadly no one has come to visit me and I’m feeling sad. I miss having someone who loves me. I am sweet as can be but at my age I’m having a hard time adjusting to life in the shelter and I just want to find a home with a soft bed where I can relax with you. I am a sweet girl. I enjoy walking on the leash. I keep my kennel clean. I love going for rides in the car. Squeaky toys are the best things ever! I like cats. With a proper introduction, I might enjoy having a dog friend to keep me company but I can be selective so a meet and greet is required. I do not show well in the kennel, so please ask to meet me outside of my kennel. I am currently located at the Franklin County Animal Shelter in Rocky Mount,VA. I’m their longest resident and they’re trying to help me find a home for Christmas. Please call the nice people at (540) 483-7440 or Stephanie (540) 243-1408 and ask about busting me outta here. If you are interested in LADY, contact Stephanie at the phone number listed above. **********COURTESY LISTING**********
