Meet Georgie

Meet Georgie! This sweet guy is approx. 4-5 years old (we're not sure!) and 24 lbs. He was left at a shelter by his owner who could no longer afford him. The shelter was so full that Georgie was scheduled to be put down that same weekend, but thankfully, we got to him first! Georgie is a total sweetheart who just wants to be loved - he needs nothing more in life than a human who he can trust and who will love him back and snuggle with him on the couch.

He is a very timid dog - he takes a long time to adjust to new surroundings and any type of change make him very nervous. He needs to go to a loving, patient home that understands he needs unconditional love and someone who is willing to show him he has nothing to be afraid of. Georgie is a very low energy dog - he does great with one walk a day and then is content to lay around the rest of the day. He'll do great with someone who is also lower energy, or who likes to take leisurely strolls around the neighborhood. No worrying about how to calm this dog down!

Despite being a bit nervous, Georgie gets along with anyone and everyone. He loves people, loves dogs and does great with cats - he hasn't even glanced at the cats in his foster home (we think they make him nervous!). So he would be great for someone who has never had a dog in the home and is worried to how cats will react. Even though Georgie does well with other dogs, he isn't so much into playing with them; he would rather sniff them and then leave them to their own devices. He won't do well as a companion of an active dog he would be expected to run around with all day. Same goes with children - he is great with them and won't jump or run them over, but he is certainly not a dog who wants to run after kids or be considered a playmate for them.

Georgie is fully house broken, up to date on all his shots, walks wonderfully on a leash, and is the quietest dog in the world - you'll never hear a peep out of him! He's just here waiting for a family of his very own to adopt him and show him unconditional love and that there is nothing to be nervous about.

Georgie is currently being fostered in Wharton, NJ and his adoption fee will be $450.00
