IDGSR Welcomes BRIGGS into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Happy Holidays! My name is Briggs and I'm a super handsome 2yr old male German Shepherd. I'm located near Greeneville TN and will be available for transport to my forever home. Here are some fun facts about me & my ideal home! 1. I'm a pretty awesome guy! I love to have fun, be the life of the party, and make friends with everyone I meet! 2. I love to run, play, explore and do all sorts of fun athletic things. I need to be adopted by someone who will keep me active! 3. I am friendly with people & other female dogs! I hope you have a female pupper in the home for me to be best friends with and play with all the time! 4. My ideal home is with an active person or family & with someone who will love me and give me the best life! If you have kids, I'd do best with ones over the age of 10yrs old. 5. It would be best to train me in basic & advanced obedience training. I'm super smart and will learn anything you can teach me. Also, it will help us bond! 6. Some of my favorite pastimes include watching ESPN, listening to 90s country music, dreaming of going on hiking adventures, and working on my fitness. I'm an athletic dude! 7.

Meet me at PawSafe 348 old colony rd. Eastford, CT These little labby mix sisters are fantastic! Super duper friendly, happy go lucky, playful little pups are any puppy lovers dream! They are all dog and kid friendly and they will easily acclimate to their new family, especially if they spoil them with lots of toys and snuggles! All are medically up to date and we are guessing they will be around 50lbs when full grown. Sorry we cannot adopt to MA residents.
