About

Meet Chase

Hi! My name is Chase, and I’m ‘On the Case’ just like Paw Patrol! I’m a German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix, approximately 4 years old, weigh roughly 50 pounds and shed minimally.  Have you seen my black coloring on the backs of my legs? I am incredibly handsome with unique coloring.  I am housebroken and crate trained, although I don’t need to be crated. I sleep and live freely in my foster home with no issues or accidents. I would, however, take short naps in one as needed. I LOVE stuffed animals, but I will chew my stuffies. Ball? Oh yeah, that’s my favorite. The bigger the better. Bonus if they’re orange! I am a high-energy boy requiring a 6 foot fenced-in yard due to my prey drive and need for speed. I am not suitable with cats, chickens, or small dogs. Due to my high-energy, I would love to have a furry sibling who likes to play - preferably one who loves a good ‘heckin’ chase’ and willingly shares space, snacks, and their human's attention. I could, however, be happy being the only dog with an active family who works from home. I LOVE my humans. I want to be by your side at every moment, which gives me my nickname: Velcro. Wherever you go, I go!  While I’m small in stature, I can be a bit of a bullet. Although I am kid-friendly, I would do best in a home with older children and may not be best around elderly folks, as I struggle a bit with spatial awareness. I’ve never met a stranger, so I can’t tell the difference! I love people coming over and greeting all guests with excitement. My love for people makes me great at the vet. My technicians always compliment me!  I was new to a leash when I came to my foster family, but I quickly learned leash manners and now love to go on walks and hikes. When my leash comes out, I am super excited! I am remarkably intelligent and highly trainable and would benefit from an owner with GSD experience who is willing to give me a job to do. I am highly food motivated and wag my tail while I eat and take treats incredibly gently. I love to try new snacks and find fruits and veggies to be my all-time favorites. Kongs?! Oh yeah, I love those too. Exercising my brain is equally important, and I find the puzzle of it all extremely fascinating.  I ride great in the car and like to travel, settling down quickly after I look out the window for a bit. I love golf carts and boats, and I discovered I am a good swimmer too! I am a dream to bathe and allow my foster family to wipe my feet before coming inside. I hardly bark out the window but do when I’m encouraging my furry sibling or friends to play.  A single-story home is best for me. I am not too confident on wood floors and uncomfortable with interior stairs. I am a sensitive soul. I remember traumatic events of slipping on floors or falling, so carpet would make me happy and extra confident! If you are looking for a highly intelligent, smaller-stature German Shepherd, who loves his people and has lots of excitement for activities with loyalty galore, I’m your guy! If you can offer me my furever home, please contact your adoption coordinator. If you do not have an adoption coordinator yet, please complete an adoption application at  www.freedomgermanshepherdrescue.org . I am being fostered in 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.
