Welcome to Rescues That Rock! In partnership with CARE Animal Rescue and Springfield’s rock station, Q102, we’re on a mission to help find forever homes for some amazing dogs who truly “rock!” Each week, we’ll feature a special dog available for adoption right here on our website and across our social media channels.

Even if adoption isn’t an option right now, you can still help us make a difference. By sharing these profiles on your social media pages, you’re spreading the word and helping these wonderful dogs get noticed—and closer to finding their perfect family. Together, let’s help these dogs find the loving homes they deserve!

Hi! I’m Ivy, a 4.5-year-old German Shepherd mix. I am a very sweet, athletic, smart, loving, and energetic girl searching for my place in the world. I would love to find an active family, someone with a fenced-in yard where we could play together. That would be my dream come true! Don’t be fooled by my energetic side. There is nothing I love more than finishing a day of playing with some cuddles on the couch. I am also extremely intelligent. I am fully house trained and crate trained. I also know the commands sit, down, bed, crate, come, and wait/stay. I have pretty good leash manners when I wear my halti, and I can even wait at the door until you tell me to walk on. I love to learn. Anything you are willing to teach me, I am willing to try. If you are looking for a playful, silly, sweet girl to join your family look no further!

So, what do you say? Are you ready to add a little more love to your life? If so, fill out a Match Making form online at: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/CAST/Dog to set up a time to meet me in person! 🙂
