~~Do you love the look of a German Shepherd but not the size?  If so, then I am the girl for you!  Hello, Everybody!!  My name is Belle and I am a 9 month old German Shepherd mix.  Currently I am only 21 pounds and probably won't get much bigger.  My brother Ranger, who will be available for adoption soon, and I were turned into the animal shelter because our former family no longer wanted us.  It's okay, though, because I know we will both find families who will give us the lives we deserve.  Everything always works out likes it's supposed to, right??  I am very skittish and shy and would love a family of my own that already has a confident dog to continue to help me come out of my shell.  I will need another dog not only to play with, but to show me that people aren't all bad.  Once I warm up to you, you will see I am the sweetest girl and I will give you constant kisses!! My foster family has a Chihuahua, cat, and a teenager, and I get along with all of them.  I enjoy being outside so a fenced yard would be great!  I am also potty trained and crate trained but run and hide from loud noises.  They can be scary!!  If you think 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 freedomgsrescue.org. I am being fostered near Raleigh.
