Meet Taz!  He’s goofy and sweet with a little mischief all mixed into an almost 3 year old, 71 pound shepherd with moderate (at times high) energy level.  This guy just wants love and to be part of a pack.  He will be your shadow following you around the house.  He loves pets and belly rubs, but is content to just be wherever his human is.  Once Taz sees you're committed, he loves hard.  Taz is housebroken and has been working on basic commands and focusing. He is very bright and just needs consistent training and patience.  He enjoys long walks and any kind of adventure.  Again, he just wants to be with you.  He really does not like being left behind.  If he does have to stay home, he must be crated. His ideal home would not leave him crated any more than 6 hours in a day.  Taz has found comfort with his fur foster brother and would enjoy a companion, especially for playing; however, he would be okay as an only dog. He does not currently have a fenced yard, but would love one (although the fence must be at least 6 feet because he has impressive jumping skills).  He has a high prey drive so guessing he would do best in a home with no cats.  Taz is also a darling with children of all ages.  Interested in making Taz a part of 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 . Taz is being fostered in Southern Pines, NC.
