ASH - ADOPTION PENDING - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Meet Ash – Your Future Cuddle Buddy! Ash is a 10-month-old, 50 pound sweetheart with a heart as big as his eyes are soulful. Found as a stray, this smaller-sized pup has settled beautifully into home life and is ready to find his forever family. Affectionately known as the "little cuddle bug," Ash lives to be near his people—whether he's curled up next to you on the couch or snuggled in bed, he’s all about love and connection. Ash has a wonderful balance of play and relaxation. He enjoys a good game of fetch (and yes—he actually brings the ball back!) and is just as happy lounging beside you for a quiet evening. He’s got medium energy, making him a great match for both outdoor adventures and cozy indoor time. This smart boy is housebroken, rides like a champ in the car, and is working on his basic commands like sit, wait, and leave it. He walks nicely on a leash and thrives with positive reinforcement. He lives harmoniously with two other dogs in his foster home and would do well with a calm canine companion. While he hasn't been tested with cats, his gentle temperament suggests he may do fine with a dog-savvy feline. Ash may be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly and will soon be following you around like a shadow. He warms up more quickly when there is another dog around so he will need a canine companion. He would love one who would like to play with him and have a fenced in yard that's at least 4 feet high. He’d thrive in a home where someone is around often—whether you work from home, are retired, or just love doggy companionship. He’s also likely to do well with calm, older, respectful kids who can give him the gentle love he deserves. If you're looking for a loyal, loving, and oh-so-snuggly companion, Ash just might be the one. Could this sweet boy be the missing piece to your heart and home? If so, please contact your adoption coordinator. If you do not yet have an adoption coordinator, please complete an adoption application at .freedomgermanshepherdrescue . Ash is being fostered outside of Charlotte, NC.
