BLOOM - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Meet Bloom - Sprouting into your heart one tail wag at a time! At just 5 months old and around 50 pounds, Bloom is a fresh-faced pup looking to grow roots in her forever home. Her past? A bit of a mystery (she’s keeping it pawsitively private), but her future? Bright, cuddly, and full of potential! This little lady is potty trained—well, mostly. She’s got the gist, but like any good plant, she’ll thrive with a little consistency and sunshine (aka treats). She’s not quite crate-trained yet, but give her a few minutes and she’ll settle down like a tulip at twilight. Bloom loves people—like, really loves people. She hasn’t met kids yet, but with her gentle demeanor meeting new people, and proper introductions of course, we think she could be a great family flower. She's still a young pup, so she’s learning what kind of home she’ll need long-term, though her current foster family feels that she will need a family who is active and devoted to giving her the training and structure for her to thrive. Her current home has a fence, but it’s too soon to say if it’s a must-have for her forever digs. She buds beautifully with her one-year-old canine foster sister—they zoom, they wrestle, they nap like synchronized snugglers. She’s also been living with a cat and, while curious, she’s easily redirected. (She’s a dog of pawsitive persuasion, after all.) Now, here’s the thorn among the petals: Bloom gets nervous around new dogs and can be very vocal about it. She's not aggressive—just a little dramatic (think Broadway understudy who finally got her moment). With slow intros, patience, and continued socialization, she'll learn the world isn’t so scary after all. She knows how to “sit” and is working hard on mastering the rest of the pup curriculum—like not chewing everything that looks remotely edible (or not). She needs a home ready to guide her with love, patience, and maybe a chew toy or three. If you're looking for a goofy, affectionate, playful cuddlebug who's ready to blossom with the right guidance, Bloom could be your new best bud. Adopt her and let love take root. If you're interested an adding this little flower to your family, please contact your adoption coordinator. If you do not yet have an adoption coordinator, please complete an adoption application at .freedomgermanshepherdrescue . Bloom is being fostered in Charlotte, NC.
