About George

Meet George, a loyal and easygoing Labrador Retriever/Hound mix in Westminster, MD. George originally joined his rescue years ago as a puppy and returned when his previous owner could no longer care for him. Now a handsome young adult, George has a low to medium energy level—he loves relaxing around the house but never says no to an easy stroll through the neighborhood for some good sniffs. He gravitates toward human companionship but does just fine with other low-energy dogs, preferring a calm environment over wild play. Smart and resourceful, George can open flip-style latches with his nose, so a secure fenced yard without that style is important. House trained and up to date on his vaccinations, George will settle in quickly with adopters who appreciate a mellow, loyal friend. He does not get along with cats, so a feline-free home is best. Ready for a nap buddy who just wants to be near you? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
