I'm McKinley, a 4 year old, 70 pound, male German Shepherd looking for a full time companion.  Age, weight, race, sex, and sexual orientation don't matter.  I'm hoping to find someone who can share my passion for exercise who works hard and plays hard.  (And by playing hard, I mean cuddling lol) I adore long walks on the beach and snuggling.  My ideal person would be someone who will bring out the best in me.  I want someone who will understand my needs and will continue to work with me.  I get excited when I meet new people and will try to jump all over them.  I get a little mouthy when I'm anxious or want to be petted, as well.  Because of this, I don't think small children would fit my lifestyle.  I like other dogs but am socially awkward when I meet them.  I can't curb my enthusiasm so I run up to them like I've never seen one before.  I am highly trainable because I'm very food motivated.  I will need someone who is patient and will train me to do better. I'm housebroken and crate trained, too.  Although, I currently have a roommate, I'd like to find my very own forever person; someone who feels like home.  Could it be you?  If you think that you can offer me my furever home, please contact 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 Jacksonville and would be open to meeting approved matches that live in NC.
