Freedom - Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Martinsville, Virginia

Meet Freedom, a 7-month-old boy with a big personality and even bigger puppy energy! This handsome guy is always ready for his next adventure and loves staying on the go.

Freedom can be a little skittish when meeting new people, but give him a few minutes and you'll quickly meet the goofy, carefree pup hiding underneath. He absolutely loves scratches-especially belly rubs and chin scratches-and once he trusts you, he's all about having fun.

Like any awkward teenager, Freedom is still growing into those extra-long legs, and he isn't afraid to use them! His favorite staff member lovingly says he likes to "throw hands," happily smacking his paw into your palm whenever he wants to play. In fact, while learning "sit," Freedom decided that wasn't exciting enough and basically taught himself "paw" because he wanted to keep the fun going.

This smart, affectionate boy is eager to learn, eager to please, and ready to fill his future home with laughter, love, and endless adventures. If you're looking for a playful best friend who will keep you smiling every single day, Freedom is ready to be your light in the dark.
