I am Uncle Sam, and if I may say so myself, a gorgeous almost five year old, 98 pound, sable boy. I am looking for an adopter that likes to play ball and get slimed with kisses. I do very well with obedience commands and am learning to trust people. I am great with women but need a little time, space and play to be comfortable around men.I need an experienced handler to help me be my best self, as I’m very protective of my person and their property. I very much want a forever home that will continue my training and give me fun jobs to do. I have a face that will melt your heart and it makes me so happy to get attention! I don’t mind being left alone, in fact I do well out of the crate and I’m housebroken. I am not food driven, but will do anything for a ball!   I am socially awkward with other dogs and will need a slow, proper introduction. I’ve also been around chickens, and do not react. My ideal home would be an active one with minimal visitors and no other dogs, preferably with you being an experienced trainer, or someone who will continue to work with a behavioral trainer that is already in place prior to adoption. If you are interested in making me a part of your family, please reach out to your adoption coordinator. If you do not have an adoption coordinator, please complete an adoption application at www.freedomgermanshepherdrescue.org. I am being fostered near Fayetteville.
