About George

Meet George! George is an approximately 3-year-old Boxer/Mountain Cur mix seeking a fresh start and a family to call his own. He recently arrived at the shelter after a change in his previous owner's living circumstances made it impossible for him to stay. The adjustment to shelter life has been a bit overwhelming for this sweet boy, leaving him understandably timid and anxious. Yet, beneath his nerves lies an affectionate dog who simply craves love and kindness. Despite his trepidation, George quickly makes friends and relishes any attention he receives. He seems to flourish with a little reassurance and is sure to thrive once reunited with a familiar, caring environment. His previous owner mentioned that George has mostly lived outdoors, enjoys leash walks, rides well in the car, and has interacted positively with children. However, he does not get along with assertive male dogs, making a meet-and-greet essential for any resident canines. As a Boxer/Mountain Cur mix, George requires regular exercise, mental enrichment, and plenty of quality time with his humans. Most importantly, he needs a patient and understanding family to help him settle in. George has faced significant changes in his life, and we’re eager to see him find the stability and companionship he deserves. He is a genuinely sweet boy with much love to share. Come meet George at Claws & Paws Animal Adoption Center!
