About George

George is a lovely little dog, estimated to be around seven or eight years old. He’s quite shy, preferring the safety of his crate in new situations. When he does emerge, he's eager to join you for a walk and appreciates the company of a gentle handler. George was found as a stray, so we don't have a lot of background information on him, but he truly flourishes in quieter settings. He would thrive best in a calm home with adults and weighs about 10 pounds, making him the perfect little companion for someone seeking a peaceful pet. In his current foster environment, he shows signs of being house trained. However, he'd rather not be around children. George is altered and vaccinated, ready to find his forever home.
