Young George is with us for no fault of his own. His owners lost their home and there is not room for George where they are heading to….George has been beautifully cared for, is healthy and smartly dressed in a perfect chocolate coat. I call him Jack Rabbit with his long ears . He owns lovely and puzzled eyes that give him the most tender puppy look. George lived and played with a host of very young children and even mingled nicely with the house cat. He comes with glowing comments from his former masters and it seems that he would be a wonderful family dog. True, George is energetic and very playful and will need like ANY youngster to channel all the enthusiasm that is needed to grow up …Going out, playing hide and seek, fetch, chew toys for when he is left alone…….His former masters made sure that he was doing plenty of that and this is why George is such a pleasant and fun babe to spend time with. He pulls slightly on the leash and  seems to be house trained .He was  also paper trained according to the owners. George LOVES other dogs…He so wants to play with them, play bows no stop, wags his tail…I bet he is going to be a star in playgroup with his peers. George is an awesome youngster, one year old according to us and only six month old according to his owners. He is the cutest, very playful, lived with kids, loves dogs and is highly affectionate. Like any youngster, George needs a dedicated and patient new master who will understand his “mistakes” and work on them savvily to make of him the most wonderful forever best friend. George is at the Manhattan Care Center.
PROFILE:

George is described as intelligent, playful and affectionate. He lived in a home with children aged 1, 3 and 5 years old. George is playful with children, allowing them to pet him on his head and back. George also lived with a cat that he would attempt to play with. George will pull towards other dogs that he notices outside so that he can interact with them.

 

BEHAVIOR

George enjoys playing and jumping up on his family. He is accustomed to being bathed at least 2x a week. He will sit still and allow his owner to bathe him. George enjoys being brushed. He doesn’t react if he is eating and is approached or if his owner attempts to take food from him. George’s owner stated that he is normally quiet at home, but will bark if someone knocks at the door. George is allowed to roam free when left alone in the home. His owner stated that he will chew on paper and random items left on the floor when his owner isn’t around, but he doesn’t destroy furniture. George will approach visitors that enter the home and attempt to play with them.

 

FOR A NEW FAMILY TO KNOW

George is house trained to use wee wee pads. He is walked outside 2x a day. He enjoys running free in the dog park once a week. He knows the commands “sit” and “paw.” He likes to play with rubber toys. He is fed Blue Buffalo grain free food. He sleeps on a fluffy blanket at night in the living room at night.

 

DURING INTAKE

George would come running when his name was called. He would wag his tail while jumping up onto the Admissions Counselor’s legs. He would respond well to the commands sit and paw. When another dog entered the adjacent room, he would whimper and stare at the dog. He was collared, scanned for a microchip (negative) and photographed.
