CLARISSA - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Looking for a gentle soul with a waggy tail and a love for couch cuddles? Look no further – Clarissa is your girl! This 2–3-year-old shepherd/lab mix weighs in at a perfect 45 pounds and is basically a professional snuggler with a PhD in Sweetness. She’s dog, cat, and kid approved, so your whole crew is welcome in her fan club! Clarissa is a little shy at first (think introvert at a party—hanging out near the snack table), but give her a little time and a lot of love, and she’ll blossom into your best buddy. She’s crate and potty trained, walks great on a leash, and has a serious passion for chew bones and tasty treats. Bonus: she’s highly treat-motivated, which makes training a breeze and snack time a joy. Clarissa thrives with a confident canine companion—another dog in the home would make her feel extra safe and snuggly. Loud noises can make her nervous, so a patient, and semi-calm household (maybe with some chill music and extra belly rubs) would be just perfect. A fenced yard is a plus but not a deal-breaker—she’s more about the vibes and less about the square footage. Think you're ready to meet your new fuzzy BFF? Clarissa's ready to steal your heart… she just might need a treat or two first. If you're interested in adding Clarissa to your family, please contact your adoption coordinator. If you do not yet have an adoption coordinator, please complete an adoption application at .freedomgermanshepherdrescue . Clarissa is being fostered outside of Raleigh, NC.
