About Georgie

Georgie is a tiny spark of joy who greets each day with a wag and a smile. This small-breed puppy, about six months old, weighs in around 10 pounds and brings a cheerful energy wherever he goes. His early days were tough—he survived parvo thanks to a generous stranger and now you’d never guess he once faced such hardship. Georgie’s a probable Norfolk Terrier and Poodle mix, which means he’s smart, playful, and a bit scruffy in the most charming way. He adores playtime, especially with other friendly dogs, and we strongly encourage you to have a canine buddy waiting for him at home—or consider adopting a pair so Georgie can always have a companion. Georgie uses the doggie door but may still need some house training as he matures. Like most pups his age, he’ll do well with some leash guidance and benefits from structure. Regular professional grooming will keep his medium coat manageable. He’s been neutered, microchipped, and his vaccinations are up to date, so he’s all set for a fresh start. Georgie would do best in a loving household ready to give him lots of affection and attention, ideally with children over ten years old. He’s ready for his forever family—one that can match his energy and give him the joyful life he deserves. Click apply to start the adoption process.
