A Note from the Foster: Meet George! 🐾
George is a sweet, 5-year-old Aussiepoo, whose personality is just starting to come through. He had a rough start prior to rescue, but he has quickly learned to love cozy couches and beds. In fact, he prefers a bed to his crate. After 5 years living in a create 24/7, it’s understandable he’s not excited to hangout in one. He’s affectionate, giving gentle chin kisses, and enjoys observing everything around him. He’s such a sweetheart!
Dog-friendly: Likes some doggy company, but doesn’t want a cuddle buddy quite yet. Right now George is getting to know that life is safe and stable. As he learns this, he would likely do best where he is the only dog.
Cat-tolerant: He does okay with cats. He doesn’t physically bother them. He’s not a fan of them all in his bubble (which can be large at times), and he will do little grumbles to let them know.
Potty-training: Doing very well on a schedule, currently wearing a bellyband indoors as he finishes marking training.
Leash skills: Learning to walk on a leash and doing great for a beginner!
Personality: Smart and curious. He likes to see what’s happening, even if he’s not right in the mix. He is learning to play and has a couple of toys he really enjoys! He likes to be near trusted people, while still having his own space. This goes for other dogs and people.
George is looking for a calm home that respects his pace, with someone who will let him come to them for affection. Kids are unknown, so a home with calm kiddos or ones who can give him initial space will be best for now.
If you’re looking for a loving, charming, and thoughtful little companion, George might just be your perfect match! He’s easy to fall in love with 💛
📅 Upcoming care: George is scheduled for neuter surgery and dental work on 4/12, and will be ready for his forever home soon!
Adoption Fee: $560 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
