Georgie is a medium-sized, male American Staffordshire Terrier and Black Labrador Retriever mix with a striking black, short coat. He is an adult who is both house trained and neutered, and his vaccinations are up to date. Georgie is currently at Brass City Rescue Alliance and is best suited to a home where he will be the sole pet, as he does not get along with other dogs or cats.
