IDGSR Welcomes LODDIE into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Happy New Year friends! My name is Loddie and I'm the sweetest petite 1.5yr old female Shusky mix you'll ever meet! I am located in Memphis TN an will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 1-1.5yrs old Kids: would do find with older kids (8+) Dogs: good with other large dogs Cats: NO cats Training: needs standard obedience training 1. I was a dumped Memphis dog but thanks to my amazing foster mom, she rescued me off the streets & is helping me find the best forever home. 2. For a young pup, I'm gentle, affectionate, mild energy, and oh so lovely. I do get some puppy zoomies every now and then but I have an overall wonderful disposition. 3. I'm a smaller gal, only weigh about 44lbs! If you live in a smaller home, townhome, condo, or apartment, I'll do just fine as long as I get some walks & daily playtime. I would love my own fenced in yard but that isn't a requirement. 4. I get along well with other doggos and would love a nice large breed friend to play with. Have you ever played chase to see who has the fastest zoomies?! 5. Will you paw-promise to train me in obedience? Let's prove to your nosey neighbor that you have the bestest & most well trained pup on the block! I'm already house & crate trained and I have the 'down' command locked in. 6. If you are looking for a snuggle buddy, walking companion, sous chef in the kitchen, Hallmark movie watcher, or unpaid therapist - I'm your girl! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

IDGSR Welcomes KRINGLE into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Kringle and I'm the cutest little 3-4mo male German Shepherd mix this side of the North Pole. I'm located near Greeneville and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 3-4 months Kids: will do great with kids Dogs: will do great with other dogs Cats: can be taught to respect cats Training: needs full obedience training 1. In my short little life, it's been pretty rough. I was living in a homeless encampment when I was left tied to a fence. Thanks to a good Samaritan for rescuing me and bringing me to IDGSR! 2. Since I'm just a baby, I'm learning all sorts of things. I'm working on house & crate training. Please be patient with me while I keep learning. 3. I would love a friendly pupper or kiddo to play with in my next home. If you have a cat, I can be taught to be respectful. 4. When I'm a little bigger, will you paw-promise to train me in obedience? I'm talking the works: sit, stay, come, place, leash walking, down, etc. I'm a smart little guy & will catch on quickly! 5. If you've been looking for a resilient, friendly, playful, energetic, loving, and down right adorable new bestie to bring you joy in 2026, I'm your guy! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!

Story
Meet Banshee — a 2.5-year-old German Shepherd with a BIG heart and even bigger love to give! 🐺 Banshee was surrendered due to a divorce — through no fault of her own. This amazing girl deserves a family who will never cast her aside again and will see her for the loyal, joyful companion she truly is. True to her breed, Banshee has lots of energy and absolutely lives for her adventures! She loves: 🌿 Outside “snifaris” 🚶‍♀️ Long walks 🧠 Sniff & find enrichment games Banshee does great with other dogs and especially loves a good game of tug-of-war. She is also 💯 house-potty trained — a big win! Banshee knows basic commands like sit, paw, and down, but when excitement hits (looking at you, UPS driver with cookies 🍪), all bets are off. She will need a committed adopter willing to invest time in basic obedience training to help her channel that enthusiasm. And yes… she will jump, hug, and kiss you whether you’re ready or not. Banshee is a powerhouse of love with absolutely no shame — she wants ALL the affection and gives it right back tenfold. ✨ If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, active best friend and are ready to put in a little training, Banshee will be your ride-or-die. 📍 Acton, Maine 📩 https://pprorg.com/ 📣 Please share — her forever family is out there, we just need to find them. Adoption fee is $475 If you do not hear from us within 7 days please email passion4petsrescue@gmail.com

Quick Facts Age: 3-5yrs old Kids: would do fine with older kids (10+) Dogs: great with other dogs, both large & small Cats: CAT FRIENDLY!! Training: obedience refresher 1.
