About George

Meet George, a Black and Tan Coonhound with classic hound charm and a mellow, people-loving nature. He gets along great with other dogs and children, and his size earns him the title of gentle giant (or perhaps an oversized lapdog, if you ask him). George is happiest when he's out for daily walks, exploring the dog park, or greeting folks who stop to say hello—he has a way of making friends everywhere he goes. George’s journey started on a rough note; he was found at a rural truck stop, dealing with Valley Fever, anemia, and thyroid problems. He's come a long way since, getting stronger and healthier every day thanks to committed care. George is still receiving some medical treatment, so he’s available as a foster-to-adopt. This gives his new family a chance to support him as he continues his recovery and settles into home life. Ready to open your door to a loyal companion ready for his next chapter?
