Freedom German Shepherd Rescue

We are a group of volunteers that are dedicated to saving the lives of German Shepherds and German Shepherd mixes. We all work in a variety of disciplines to include medical, financial, animal welfare and corporate. What bonds us is our love for all dogs, specifically German Shepherds. We've all volunteered for other 501c nonprofit rescues and feel the dogs are best served by all of us working together. We all strongly feel that there are too many unwanted, abused and neglected animals that we want to work together, with shelters and the community, to help reduce the epidemic through saving the dogs and educating the public.

Meet Tonka - Adoption Pending

Tonka is a very handsome 6-month-old German Shepherd mix that is 40 pounds and growing.  Tonka may be as rough and ready as his name suggests but he is all sweetness and love on the inside!  He is dog and cat friendly. He has not been exposed to kids but no doubt he would LOVE them too.  He is up for any adventure be it hiking in the woods, wrestling with his doggie friends or cuddling on the couch. Tonka is crate trained and pretty much house trained, too.  He will ring the bell at the door when he needs to go out.  He has been exposed to dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens and so much more and gets along with everyone. He has been an excellent farm pup. Because he has such good recall, he does not need a fenced in yard. We could have named him Rooster as well, as he is always up first in the morning needing potty and ready for the day's adventures!  Tonka is going to be a big boy when he grows up and would love to find a forever home, ideally with another dog and someone who will keep him active and be best friends with.  This is a boy who wants to join in on all the fun and so good tempered he will be a hit wherever he goes, especially with his moderate energy level. Interested in adding Tonka to your family? Complete an adoption application at www.freedomgermanshepherdrescue.org. Tonka is being fostered outside of Southern Pines, 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.
