About George

George and his siblings entered rescue at just three days old after their mother tragically lost her life in a car accident. The journey hasn’t been easy; one by one, many of the babies faced challenges, but George and his three brothers have pulled through and are now lively, confident little pups. They’re friendly and playful, getting along well with dogs, cats, and children alike. George thrives on human companionship, undoubtedly due to being bottle-raised. He loves to snuggle and is working on house training while settling into crate sleep routines at night. At just two months old, he embodies youthful joy and affection. If you're interested in welcoming a bundle of energy and love into your home, consider adopting George! The adoption fee is $375, which covers vaccinations, deworming, a microchip, and his neuter surgery.
