Notes from Freedom German Shepherd Rescue

Hey there, future family! My name is Nitro 2025, and I'm a handsome 2-year-old, 52 pound German Shepherd mix with a heart of gold. I might still be learning my basic manners, but what I lack in polish, I more than make up for in affection! I'm medium-sized, with a fluffy coat and endless cuddles to share. I'm an energetic and playful guy, always ready for an adventure. I get along great with other dogs and cats, and I just love being around people. I haven't been around kids much yet, but my friendly nature suggests I'd do wonderfully with them, too.

I have a mischievous side, and I'm still figuring out what's a toy and what isn't, so I'll need a family who can keep an eye on me when I'm exploring the house. I also love toys, but for me, the fun is in the chase—I'll drop them just as fast as I pick them up! I have become fully housebroken and crate trained. I'm searching for an energetic family that's ready to take on my puppy-like enthusiasm and help me learn how to be the best boy I can be because I can play for hours and hours! My ideal home would be one with an active lifestyle, another playful dog and people who enjoy playtime as much as I do. A yard with a six foot fence would be appreciated because of my inquisitive nature. In return, you'll get a loyal and loving companion who will fill your life with joy and laughs.

If you're ready for an adventure and a whole lot of love, I'm ready for you! If you are ready to add me 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. I am being fostered in Wilmington, NC.
