Truman

My story

IDGSR WELCOMES TRUMAN INTO THE SAFETY OF THE RESCUE!!!! PLEASE NOTE: If the dog you are interested in is online, he/she is still available and it is not necessary to email to inquire. Truman is an approximately 1 year old German Shepherd male. He was rescued by a good Samaritan from the middle of a busy road. Truman was emaciated, weak and his blood pressure was very low. We believe Truman wouldn't have made it much longer if not for this great act of kindness. Today, Truman is doing much better. He is a very loving boy who wants to be with his people whether helping with the chores or just hanging out. Truman enjoys a good belly rub. He is a quick learner and has learned sit, down, shake his left paw and right paw. We are still using treats to reinforce the down. Truman has a few favorite toys and is learning to fetch. He enjoys spending time in the backyard exploring, playing or laying under a tree. Truman walks well on a leash and enjoys the walks. He might even enjoy long walks on a beach. He is friendly with people and older teens but no young children please as he gets a little rough trying to play. Truman is good with other larger dogs and he is around small dogs, but not good with all. He is still learning about cats, so it’s best to be a cat free home. Truman rides well in a car.
