About Giorgio

Giorgio is looking for a new family to call his own. Returned to rescue through no fault of his own, he brings all the energy and heart you could want in a companion. He’s a 3.5-year-old Boxer mix with a short, bicolor coat brushed with red and white, tipping the scales at about 60 lbs. Giorgio is neutered and current on vaccinations, so he’s ready to go. House trained and crate trained (though he hasn’t been in a crate lately), he slides easily into routine. He absolutely loves people and has a gentle, playful side around other dogs. Daily walks and outdoor adventures make him happiest, and he’ll want a yard to stretch his legs. Giorgio is best matched with older kids and active families who appreciate his drive to play and bond. His feelings about cats are unknown, but for humans, he’s all love. While he’s based in Houston, he’s adoptable anywhere in Texas, and his foster can keep caring for him until the right match comes along. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
