George

Hi! I’m George, a spunky little guy with a fantastic one-of-a-kind personality! I was turned into rescue when my elderly owner passed away. I have been well loved by everyone in my life – and you can tell. I believe that everyone, everywhere exists for the sole purpose of loving me.

All doggie pillows, blankets and toys I re-arrange to make me happy. And have been known to build “forts”. In other words I take every pillow and blanket and make one huge pile of them in the middle of the floor – so that I can play and roll and sleep there. What? You don’t need to walk there!

I get along great with my foster brothers and sisters – I like to play with them sometimes, but most of the time I’m off by myself having Georgie adventures. I’ve never been around cats.

I love playing with my humans too. Ball, tug of war, I’m not picky. I just love human interaction, even if they are just talking to me or giving me a scratch behind the ears. Going on walks is a lot of fun – my foster parents take me on a 1 mile walk every day. And of course being in a lap snoozing is one of my favorite activities. My ideal home will be one where someone is home with me more often than not – I’m happiest when I’m around my humans.

December 2008 I had a disc rupture in my back. FLDR paid for emergency surgery for me, and after lots of healing and care, I can walk, run, play, and do all the things that a doxie should. Now I do walk & run kind of funny, but that just adds to my charm. I can not go to a home with any stairs, and should not jump off any furniture. And I also should not wear a collar to go on walks (a harness is just fine). I take a daily supplement (liquid Glucosamine), that I’ll need to take for the rest of my life. But otherwise I have no issues, and I’ve been given an all clear from the doctor.

Oh another thing that I really love is to EAT! Food is soo sooo yummy. Foster Mom has to really monitor how much I eat – and also that I don’t eat my food really quick and then sneak over to eat everyone elses food. Especially because of my past back issues it’s very important that I stay at a healthy weight.

When I came into rescue I had some issues from untreated skin allergies & ear infections. My skin issues are resolved now. And my ears are great now too. I seem to build up wax in my ears really quickly – so I need to have them cleaned weekly so they stay healthy.

I’m housetrained, but every now and then I’ll have an accident. Sometimes I get to playing, and don’t realize that I need to go outside until it’s too late! I do very well being on a regular schedule of potty times. I’m crate trained – in fact I really love my crate, and tend to go snooze in it. My foster parents have a doggy door and I really like that alot – I love being able to go outside having adventures, rolling in the grass and chasing the birds.

Georgie is in the N.W. Florida panhandle. If you are interested in being the forever home for this sweet, unique little boy, please fill out an application and list George on the application
