About Georgie Please read entire

Georgie is an adorable 8-year-old Morkie Poo looking for a loving home in Sault Sainte Marie, MI. Weighing around 20 pounds, he has a medium-length coat that’s a mix of gray, blue, and cream. Georgie can be a bit timid when meeting new people; he stress barks but warms up with time and affection. Once he trusts you, he’ll stay close and become a loyal companion. While he previously lived with a smaller dog, his experience with other dogs is limited, and he hasn’t been around cats. Georgie is currently learning how to walk on a leash, since he had access to a fenced yard before. He can be sensitive during grooming and veterinary visits, using his mouth to express discomfort, so gentle handling is key. An adult home with the patience to help him settle in would be ideal for this gentle soul. Ready to meet Georgie? Let’s get started on your adoption journey!
