About

Meet Nadine

Meet Nadine – Sweet, Smart, and Ready to Love! Say hello to Nadine, a 4 year-old, 67 pound sweetheart who’s equal parts loving, loyal, and clever. This beautiful girl has a big heart and is looking for a forever home where she can be someone’s constant companion. Nadine is happiest when she’s with her people — she loves car rides, going for walks, and just being part of the action. She’s picking up basic commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “lay down,” and though she has a bit of a stubborn streak, she’s a quick learner when motivated. While she is housebroken, crate training is a work in progress — she’ll go in easily but isn’t a huge fan of staying there long-term.  She has a high energy level and would be happiest in an active home where she can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. A 6 foot fenced-in yard would be ideal so she can safely enjoy the outdoors and burn off some of that energy.  Nadine thrives on close companionship. She’ll do best in a home where someone is around more often than not, especially while she continues to build trust and security, or a home that has another confident dog. Nadine will need proper introductions when meeting other dogs although she’s not a fan of small dogs.  She’s curious about other animals like cats, chickens and rabbits — she enjoys watching them but hasn’t interacted closely with them yet, so supervision is key.  Nadine is also curious about children when we walk by them, but we haven’t had the chance to see how she interacts up close. She definitely loves people and enjoys their company — she just wants to be part of the family. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will shower you with affection and keep life exciting, Nadine might just be your girl. She’s ready for her second chance and can’t wait to meet the person who will give her the love and stability she deserves. Interested in making Nadine part of your family? Contact your adoption coordinator. If you do not yet have an adoption coordinator, please complete an adoption application at www.freedomgermanshepherdrescue.org . Nadine 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.
