About Georgia

Meet Georgia! This sweet 12-year-old Maltese weighs in at a gentle 8.2 lbs and is ready for a calm, loving retirement home. Unfortunately, Georgia lost her owner, but you can sense the love and care she once received. This affectionate girl is looking for a cozy space where she can relax for whatever time she has left. Georgia has some medical needs. She has a grade 3 luxating patella in her right knee and a grade 1 in her left, but she's not experiencing any lameness. She's adapting well to her new canned food diet after having several teeth removed. While she hasn't completely lost control of her bladder and bowels, her new family will need to be prepared for potential accidents. She's never worn a doggy diaper before, but the rescue would be happy to provide some for her new home. The adoption fee for Georgia is $0 and covers her spaying, dental cleaning, microchip, heartworm test, health bloodwork, fecal test, and all core vaccinations. If you think you can give Georgia the love she deserves, reach out to adopt her today!
