George is a goofy, energetic Labrador Retriever mix in St. Clair, MO, rescued with his sister Lizzie from a neglectful hoarding situation. The siblings are closely bonded and must be adopted as a pair. George brings a lot to the table: he’s fun, alert, and has left the exhausting puppy phase behind. Perfect for someone wanting a happy canine companion without the constant work of a puppy, he’s attentive and eager to please, especially when treats or a little praise are involved. George is still working on his basic house manners—commands like “off” or "no jumping" are in progress—but he learns quickly. He’s athletic, so adopters should take to heart that he could clear a 4-foot fence without much trouble if he felt left out or just wanted in on the action. So far, his “escapes” are about seeking attention and play, not running away. He is sweet and loves to play, bringing a bright energy wherever he goes. Lizzie is just as lovely and also ready for her new home. Adopters must have a physically fenced yard and be willing to complete a home visit. Ideal homes are within a three-hour drive of St. Louis.
