Teddy Bear is an approximately 3-year-old, 81 pound sweetheart looking for a very special forever home. He loves playing ball, going for walks, exploring, and riding in the car. He’s wonderful in the house, has free reign 24/7, and absolutely loves having a canine companion to play with and help him feel safe. He will not do well as an only dog.

While Teddy Bear enjoys adventures and playtime, he’s equally happy relaxing beside you once he feels comfortable. When he trusts you, he is incredibly loving and gentle—he’ll even place his paws in your lap for kisses.

Teddy Bear’s past was clearly not kind to him, especially involving men, so he is fearful and cautious of them. Because of this, he needs a patient, understanding female-only home, a confident canine companion, a secure 6’ fenced yard and someone willing to give him the time and kindness he deserves. This sweet boy may take a little time to trust, but once he does, the bond is incredibly special. If you are able to give Teddy Bear the safe, loving home he’s been waiting for, please contact your adoption coordinator. If you do not yet have an adoption coordinator, please complete an adoption application at www.freedomgermanshepherdrescue.org. Teddy Bear is being fostered outside of Charlotte, NC.

Every side is Lu’s good side🤪

Buckle in, you’re about to fall in love! My foster mom calls me Lu or LuLu or Big Clumsy Oaf because I am 96 pounds and 3 years old. I’m looking for a home with someone who loves snuggles, who values loyalty, and always wanted a living shadow. Because that’s me! I’ll be at your side 24/7 and I promise you’ll never be alone.
I had a rough start in life so lots of things are new to me. People can be very scary for me, but once you’ve earned my trust, you’ve earned my heart and loyalty. I’m the dog that waits for you at the door after a long day at work. I’m the dog that lays my head on your lap when you’ve had a hard day. I’m the dog that guards your bed while you sleep.
I don’t care much for toys, but I like bones and antlers. I love to run in my big yard with my foster siblings! I would love a home with more furry friends to play with or with someone who can give me a lot of love and attention. I love long walks and do really well on a leash! Did somebody say car ride? I’m in! I’m also cat friendly and housebroken!
I like to be wherever my person is! I’m also very active and would love a person or family that would take the time to walk, hike, travel, and train with me! I would do best with a 6 foot fenced in yard because I love to learn and I’m very smart– plus I LOVE treats! I’ll do anything for a piece of jerky.
I am crate trained and actually really love my crate! It’s become my safe space. I would thrive in a home with a single person or a pair that could really devote their love and attention to me. I am a beggar! I love pats and scratches and giving big sloppy kisses.
As I mentioned, I’m slow to trust. I get very nervous when new people are in my space and would do best in a quiet, structured home with no children. I love my adult friends and have learned to trust men and women within my circle.

Note from Lu's foster mom: Lu would do best in a home with minimal stranger traffic and with someone who is experienced with not only the breed, but with anxious dogs. He will be the most rewarding companion to whoever gives him a chance! I know he’s brightened my world and I can’t wait to see him brighten someone else’s. If you're interested in adding Lu to your pack, please contact your adoption coordinator. If you do not yet have an adoption coordinator, please complete an adoption application at www.freedomgermanshepherdrescue.org. Lu is being fostered in Winston-Salem, NC.

Hey there, future family! My name is Nitro 2025, and I’m a handsome 1-year-old, 52 pound German Shepherd mix with a heart of gold. I might still be learning my basic manners, but what I lack in polish, I more than make up for in affection! I’m medium-sized, with a fluffy coat and endless cuddles to share.

My personality:
I’m an energetic and playful guy, always ready for an adventure. I get along great with other dogs and cats, and I just love being around people. I haven’t been around kids much yet, but my friendly nature suggests I’d do wonderfully with them, too.

I have a mischievous side, and I’m still figuring out what’s a toy and what isn’t, so I’ll need a family who can keep an eye on me when I’m exploring the house. I also love toys, but for me, the fun is in the chase—I’ll drop them just as fast as I pick them up! I am a work in progress with my potty training, so I’ll need a patient and consistent family to help me along. I am crate trained, however.

What I’m looking for:
I’m searching for an energetic family that’s ready to take on my puppy-like enthusiasm and help me learn how to be the best boy I can be because I can play for hours and hours! My ideal home would be one with an active lifestyle, another playful dog and people who enjoy playtime as much as I do. A yard with a six foot fence would be appreciated because of my inquisitive nature. In return, you’ll get a loyal and loving companion who will fill your life with joy and laughs.

If you’re ready for an adventure and a whole lot of love, I’m ready for you! If you are ready to add me to 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. I am being fostered outside of Charlotte, NC.

Hi, I’m Rex. I’m a sweet, 2 year old, 55 pound, loving boy who adores gentle pets and quiet cuddles. I can be a little shy and nervous at first, but I warm up with patient people who move slowly and speak kindly. I’ve been through some tough times, but I’m feeling a lot better now and I’m ready to give all my love to my forever family!!

I walk amazingly great on a leash and enjoy my daily strolls. I’m fully crate trained and feel safe in my cozy spot. I’m also potty trained! If I am with you outside without a leash on, I will walk near you and come to you when you call. I really, really like to be around my people. I am not required to have a fence. I am such a love bug, will you please bring me to your home and keep me forever?

When my foster mom loves on me, I light up and eat all the treats she gives me! When I learn to trust you and that you want me forever, I am yours. I haven’t been around kids much, but I’m calm and I don’t think I’d have issues with them. My foster mom has cats and I’m not interested in them; I’d much rather relax beside her. I am learning my basic manners and play well with my fur brothers and sisters as they are helping me get my confidence up.

If adopting Rex sounds like the best thing in the world, please contact your adoption coordinator. If you do not yet have an adoption coordinator, please complete an adoption application at www.freedomgermanshepherdrescue.org . Rex is being fostered outside of Charlotte, NC.
