Meet Casey - Adoption pending

Are you looking for a pup who loves to cuddle and play and is a bit of a goofball?  Casey might be  the one you are looking for! Casey has a wonderful temperament and personality.  He LOVES people and other dogs.  I tell people he is the ambassador of Walmart greeters. I don’t think he knows what a stranger is! Casey is a typical 56 pound, eight month old puppy: fun, playful, a bit goofy and full of life. He loves going for walks, hikes or whatever adventure life holds. He is even up for a belly rub or two.  He enjoys going places and rides great in the car. Casey is a playful boy, but he also knows how to settle down. He loves playing with other dogs and has done well with both male and female dogs.  He has a good play style and enjoys a good game of chase. He likes to play fetch but doesn’t always bring the ball back. He has free rein 24/7 with the other pup in the house and has done very well.  He isn't crate trained because he does so well in the house and is housebroken. He is still a little mouthy when playing but corrects nicely.  On Casey’s cat test, he was curious but didn’t react. I think he will do okay with dog-savvy cats.  Of course, slow intros are always best.  Casey is an adorable fun-loving puppy.  He knows some commands, but he will require a home willing to continue his training. Because of his energy, he will do best in a home with a playful companion that loves to play and a six foot fenced yard.  Casey would love a home where someone was home more than not.   So do you think this adorable pup might be the one for you? If so, please contact your adoption coordinator. If you do not yet have an adoption coordinator, please complete an adoption application at www.freedomgermanshepherdrescue.org. Casey is being fostered outside of Charlotte. 

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.
