Freedom needs a lot of love. He has had a tough start to life and gets attached to his caretakers after he becomes comfortable. Freedom loves playing with his brother, especially when the tug toys come out! He would do wonderfully with another playful dog or by himself. Freedom is an amazing walker on leash and is working on being confident in uncomfortable situations. Freedom is working hard on being good in the crate even though he doesn’t enjoy it much. He loves to eat and enjoys his puzzles to tire him out! Freedom has so much love to give, and he can't wait to meet his forever family!
