Meet Twinkle - Adoption Pending

Twinkle, twinkle, little star! Twinkle is approximately 4 months old and weighs about 25 pounds. She is your average puppy and loves to nap as much as she loves to play. She is potty and crate trained and is learning her basic commands. She picks up on routine and manners very easily. She is learning to walk on a leash and enjoys hanging out in the yard with her foster brothers and sister.   Twinkle enjoys chewing on her dog toys and playing with her siblings. She sleeps out of the crate at night and uses the doggy door to go outside if she has to use the restroom. She stays in her crate whenever her foster parents leave the house, but she is so well mannered she could just as easily stay out and free roam. She enjoys going on walks and exploring, but she also enjoys playing with her older siblings and reminding them how much older they are than her. She can be very shy when meeting new dogs and new people, but once she gets to know them she starts to act like her goofy self again. She is so kindhearted that she would do fine in any household as long as they understand she is still a puppy and has quite a bit of learning left to do. While Twinkle does not require a fenced in yard, she would prefer to have another doggie in the home to play with.  If you are interested in making Twinkle a part of your family, please contact your adoption coordinator. If you do not yet have an adoption coordinator, please complete an adoption application at  www.freedomgermanshepherdrescue.org . Twinkle is being fostered outside of Fayetteville, NC. 

Adoption Process
All applicants must pass a vet check, phone interview and home visit in order to adopt. Once an applicant passes, they must sign an adoption contract where they agree to alter the dog by 6 months of age - if they are adopting a puppy, guarantee that the dog will receive proper vet care, food, water and exercise, and will return the dog to the rescue if they can no longer keep the dog for any reason. All dogs are microchipped prior to adoption, with Freedom GSR always remaining on the chip. The adoption fee is $250, adopters receive a 2 week trial period with the dog and if the adopter is found to be in violation of the contract, Freedom GSR will reclaim the dog. All dogs will not be adopted out until they are up to date on shots, free of heartworms and intestinal parasites and altered, if six months of age or older. If a puppy is adopted, the adoption contract stipulates that the puppy must be altered by the time s/he turns 6 months old.
