About this Dog
Do you want a supervisor for every little task? How about a second pair of adoring eyes to make mundane tasks more enjoyable? Well, look no further and allow me to introduce myself. I’m Scuba! I’m about 7 months old and weigh 40 pounds. I was picked up by animal control as a stray. I was very skinny when my foster dad got me, but he keeps telling me that I’ll be gaining weight to a healthy level; I just need to be patient. But how can I???? Food is the best thing ever!!! I’ll do just about anything for a treat. He also says I’m going to be a big girl by the size of my ears, paws, and tail! I’m working on being crate trained and have enjoyed every meal in there and had some mentally stimulating games in there, so the crate is not super scary to me, although I’d much rather be out of it with alongside my people. I think I might be getting close to outgrowing it, but I think that’s because I SPRINT to my crate whenever my foster dad walks in the room with my bowl. My foster dad called me a slipper thief and that he has the picture to prove it, but I plead the fifth! I live with my older foster brother who is a Freedom GSR alumnus, but he’s a grump sometimes and likes to keep his distance. When I’ve been the annoying little sister, he’s corrected me very appropriately so I’m learning when enough is enough! I think I’d thrive if there was another, socialized dog around, but I pick up on social queues quickly regardless. My older brother played with me a lot when we went to the beach together. As I’m a dark coat girl, the shade from the umbrella was my favorite part. I waded into the water with the help of treats (told you!) and it felt good in the sun, but the little waves made me a little uneasy. With enough exposure though, I know I’ll do well in water! Everyone keeps telling me that I’m just the sweetest pup, and well, I’d have to agree with them. Even though I’ve had a rough start in life, I just have so much love to give, and I’ve not met a stranger yet. I am eager to learn and would thrive with more training. I just want to play with every dog I see and want love and cuddles from every person I walk by. I am house broken although sometimes I have a little accident when I get too excited. I’ve started to let my foster dad know when it’s time to go potty, although he’s been taking me out routinely every few hours or so. I know “sit” very well since that usually means TREATS and my recall has improved a lot! Since I’m so smart, I know the basics. I would do well with a fenced-in back yard, at least 4 feet high, but it wouldn’t be a necessity. I sleep through the night in my crate without any fuss! If you’d like me to join your family, reach out to your adoption coordinator. If you don’t have an adoption coordinator, please complete an adoption application at www.freedomgermanshepherdrescue.org . I’m being fostered in Wilmington, NC.

100% of Scuba's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Scuba.
Adopt Scuba and Receive Scuba's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Scuba's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Scuba's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Scuba, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Scuba's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Scuba was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Scuba’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Scuba’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Scuba’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
