History: Georgie was recently returned to rescue when he was no longer a match for his home. He is unsure and timid around men in general and will thrive in a patient and understanding home. He deserves it!
A Note from the Foster: Hi my name is Georgie, and I am 2 years old, and even though I am young I am pretty chilled. My foster mom says I have moderate energy level. I love to play but if no one wants to play with me I will amuse myself by chewing on one of my dog toys or just relaxing in my bed.
I am a little shy, ok I am really shy especially with men, but I am working really hard to be brave. When I go to a new place I maybe scared at first but I settle in pretty quickly. Meeting new people is a little more scary for me, but just give me a little time and I will get up the courage to come over and say 'Hi'. And once I have gotten to know you I am a little love bug.
I currently live with a one year old medium sized foster sister and my 15 year old Dochshund foster brother. So I am fine with both big and small dogs. Since I am a shy around people, if could find a forever home with another dog who can help with my confidence that would be best. I also have some cats that live here, I love one of them because she comes up and rubs against me, but the other cats run away so I will chase them.
I love belly rubs, and will lay for hours just being rubbed and brushed. Once I get past my shyness I do love to be close to my people. Greetings them with my little stub tail going so crazy my whole butt moves. And once I get to know and trust you I will become your little goofball shadow always having to see where you are going and what you are doing if you get up and leave the room we are in. My foster Mom says I look like a fuzzy white teddy bear until I get a hair cut, then I am a pretty sophisticated boy ( yes all of these pictures are of me).
I am pretty good about going into and sleeping in my crate. But sometime it takes me a little while to find a right comfy spot so I will circle in my crate until I find it. My favorite sleeping position is laying on my back with my legs up in the air. My foster Mom has tried a few time to get a picture of this but I am a very light sleeper and as soon as the phone comes out I have to walk over and smell it. So my foster Mom only gets close up pictures of my nose.
I am pretty much potty trained, I have not had an accident in the house since I got here. However when my foster Mom goes away and I am put in my crate I get anxious and I have had accidents then. I am still working on that.
I love food and treats and so I am very easy to train. My favorite time of day is breakfast and dinner, I jump into my crate with excitement and wait patiently for my foster mom to put my food down for me. If you have food I will love you.
So if you are looking for a sweet dog who is just needs will need a little patience from you at first I will show you what a good boy I am and how I can be the perfect dog for you.
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!
