About George

This could be the start of something paw-some. Meet George. George is an energetic dog full of life and enthusiasm, looking for a family who can channel his energy in positive ways. He arrived after a difficult period on his own, showing he knows how to sit and shake, proving how smart and eager he is. While George excels with other playful dogs, his real challenge lies in adapting to home life again, as he’s been unsettled by the busy kennel environment and struggles with separation anxiety—likely due to his past. He will thrive in a relaxed home where his people are around most of the time and would benefit from ongoing leash training and regular walks. George truly shines during playtime, especially when it comes to fetch and tug of war! Because of his anxious and exuberant nature, he’s best matched with adults or older, dog-savvy children, rather than small kids. He is up to date on his vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped, waiting patiently for someone to help him feel safe and cherished. George is ready to bring all his love and loyalty to the right fit—could that be you? Fun fact: George’s birthday is January 1, making him a Capricorn! Capricorns are known for their determination and loyalty—traits this pup certainly shares. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
