Meet Kendall! This gorgeous 2-year-old black and tan female Doberman is about as close to perfect as they come! She truly is the total package, with a happy personality, excellent manners, and a whole lot of love to give.

Kendall gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and both sexes. She has excellent leash manners with very little pulling, loves meeting new people, and is great with kids. She has also done fantastic on camping trips, taking all the sights and sounds of the campground in stride and walking past other dogs without reacting. She rides beautifully in the car and doesn’t need to be restrained.

At home, Kendall is a dream. She crates nicely but doesn’t necessarily need to be crated, as she has wonderful house manners and doesn’t get into things she shouldn’t. She enjoys her bully sticks, Nylabones, Milk-Bones, and most toys. She’s also recently discovered that she’s allowed on the couch, which has quickly become one of her favorite places to be!

Kendall is still learning about some of the new sights, sounds, and smells of the world, but she’s catching on quickly and taking everything in like a champ. She’s a very happy girl who wants to be wherever her people are, and she absolutely loves to snuggle.

If you’re looking for a well-mannered, social, affectionate Doberman who can join you on adventures and then curl up beside you at the end of the day, Kendall could be your perfect match. She’s pretty close to the whole package, and we can’t wait to see her find the forever home she deserves!

We’ve been keeping a tiny secret… well, maybe 5 tiny secrets.

This bundle of adorable joined us in early September after their mom disappeared from the shed they were born in. Their foster human has been caring for them for several weeks and they’re finally ALMOST ready for adoption so get your applications in now! They are super social and fostered with both dogs and other cats. They are litter trained and up to date on vetting.

Unbelievably, Clover 🍀 is still available!

Meet Clover!

This adorable TINY (14 lb) Boxer mix is under 8 months old and is just beginning to discover how wonderful life as a beloved family dog can be. Every day she gains a little more confidence, and watching her blossom has been such a joy.

Clover absolutely loves other dogs and gets along with pups of all sizes. In fact, she’d thrive in a home with a confident canine companion who can continue showing her the ropes. She’s currently living with cats and thinks they’re pretty fun to chase, so any feline friends should be dog-savvy and comfortable around playful puppies.

Like any young pup, Clover is still working on her house manners. Potty training is a work in progress, but she’s already keeping her crate clean and dry overnight, which is a great start! She hasn’t needed to be crated during the day because someone is usually home, and she takes her cues from the resident dogs, making her an easy little houseguest. Of course, as she settles in, her playful puppy personality may shine even brighter!

More than anything, Clover wants to be loved. She’s incredibly sweet, eager for affection, and happiest when she’s close to her people. If you’re looking for a small companion with a gentle heart and the cutest little Boxer face, Clover is ready to steal your heart.

Our website is back so please stop on over and apply to adopt sweet Betty! 💕💕💕

Betty is a truly wonderful and beautiful brindle Bullmastiff mix. At 4-years- old and 95-pounds, she’s a giant bundle of love, wrapped in a wiggly, happy-go-lucky package. Betty greets all people with full-body wiggles. She absolutely adores belly rubs, affection, and spending time with her humans. She’s eager to please and already knows several commands, including sit, stay, and paw.

This sweet girl is housebroken and has a loving, affectionate personality that makes it easy to fall in love with her. Betty would do well in a home with a compatible dog, but her new family should understand the importance of slow, proper introductions to help everyone adjust successfully.

Because Betty is a big, enthusiastic girl who can get a little jumpy when she’s excited, we’re recommending a home with teens and older.

Meet Martini! 🐝❤️

Martini is a 1.5-year-old, 12-pound cutie who we suspect is a mix of Chihuahua, Terrier, and maybe a little Dachshund!

Martini loves being around people, especially respectful children. She can be a little cautious at first, but once she gets to know you, she warms up nicely. Her nickname is “Busy Bee” because she always wants to know what’s going on and help with whatever her humans are doing!

With her big personality, Martini would be happy as an only dog or with a more laid-back canine companion. She may be a busy bee, but she also appreciates a good couch nap or snuggling in bed if she’s invited.

She’s working on her potty training and will benefit from a consistent schedule. She also does well in her crate and would love a family who continues that routine.

If you’re looking for a fun, energetic little companion with plenty of personality and a sweet side, Martini might just be your perfect match!

The newest orphan of IDR+ is Fritz - a 6-month-old Doberman puppy. He arrived to us yesterday in urgent need of help.

Fritz is extremely malnourished with a bloated belly, likely full of parasites. He is basically bald and the stench of his skin is horrific. He is at our vet and we are testing him for skin infections and both types of mange to find out what he’s battling.

He didn’t deserve this.

We’re asking our rescue community to please step up for Fritz. His testing, treatment, nutrition, and recovery all come with costs, and we can’t do it without you.

He’s counting on us.

Meet Reese!

Reese is a sweet, gentle, 7-year-old girl who has officially put her mammary surgery behind her and is ready to find a family of her own! Her mammary masses were removed, and thankfully, no cancer was found. She will need a routine recheck in about six months to make sure everything continues to look good, but for now, Reese is healthy, recovered, and ready for her next chapter.

Reese has been an absolute joy in her foster home. She has the gentlest soul and is incredibly well-mannered. She takes treats softly, waits patiently to be invited through gates, stays out of the kitchen, keeps all four paws off the furniture, and is perfectly content just being near her people. She even greeted her foster brother with the sweetest little kiss through the gate.

She enjoys leisurely walks and generally walks nicely on a leash, although her foster family is continuing to work with her on some intermittent leash reactivity. Reese would do best in a home without cats or small animals.

If you’re looking for an easygoing, affectionate companion who is happy to hang out with you, enjoy some belly rubs, take a stroll, and then settle in for a cozy nap, Reese may be your girl. She has been through enough changes and is more than ready for the best part of her story: finding a family who will love her for good.
