Hello world, I’m West and I am a 4 month old German Shepherd and I weigh about 15 pounds. My brother and I were found abandoned in someone’s yard and had to go to the shelter, but the Freedom family found us a foster home. YAY!  I am a high energy pup who is full of zoomies and mischief. I am dog, cat, and kid friendly, but I do not like chickens. I’m still a little mouthy because I’m a puppy, but I’m slowly learning my manners. I’m super smart, so with a little training I think I could learn a lot!  I’m almost totally housebroken! I don’t love the crate very much, though I will hang out in it for a while if my foster humans entice me with exciting toys. I really love sleeping with a person or dog. When I finally get tired of playing, I just love to snuggle!  Sometimes I get a little nervous with new people, animals, or situations. I’m learning to play politely with the other dogs in my foster family, and they correct me if I get to be too much for them. I’m starting to learn my place in the pack, and I think I would do well coming into a family that has an older dog who will play with me. I would do best with a high energy family who would keep up with my energy level! Since I am a high energy boy with plenty of growing to do, I will need a 6 foot fence. I can’t wait to meet you and lick your face!  If you are interested in learning more about me or would like to meet me, please reach out to your adoption coordinator. If you don’t have an adoption coordinator, please complete an application at www.freedomgermanshepherdrescue.org . I will be the greatest addition to your family! I am being fostered outside of Jacksonville, NC.
