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.
