About

Meet Clarissa

Looking for a gentle soul with a waggy tail and a love for couch cuddles? Look no further – Clarissa is your girl! This 2–3-year-old shepherd/lab mix weighs in at a perfect 45 pounds and is basically a professional snuggler with a PhD in Sweetness. She’s dog, cat, and kid approved, so your whole crew is welcome in her fan club! Clarissa is a little shy at first (think introvert at a party—hanging out near the snack table), but give her a little time and a lot of love, and she’ll blossom into your best buddy. She’s crate and potty trained, walks great on a leash, and has a serious passion for chew bones and tasty treats. Bonus: she’s highly treat-motivated, which makes training a breeze and snack time a joy. Clarissa thrives with a confident canine companion—another dog in the home would make her feel extra safe and snuggly. Loud noises can make her nervous, so a patient, and semi-calm household (maybe with some chill music and extra belly rubs) would be just perfect. A fenced yard is a plus but not a deal-breaker—she’s more about the vibes and less about the square footage.  Think you're ready to meet your new fuzzy BFF? Clarissa's ready to steal your heart… she just might need a treat or two first. If you're interested in adding Clarissa to 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 . Clarissa is being fostered outside of Raleigh, 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.
