George's Story

Dog Name: George<br/>Age: 2-3 years<br/>Gender: Male<br/>Breed: American Pitbull Terrier<br/>Weight: 50 lbs<br/>Crate trained: Yes<br/>Potty trained: Yes<br/>Dog friendly: Yes with proper introductions - learning polite leash manners around other dogs<br/>Cat friendly: Unknown<br/>Kid friendly: Yes with children 12+<br/>Vaccinated: Yes <br/>Spayed/Neutered: Yes<br/>Heartworm: Negative<br/>Microchipped: Yes<br/>Energy level: Medium<br/><br/>Meet George, the ultimate snuggle companion who has perfected the art of being the little spoon! This sweet boy with perfect "Dorito ears" bears a striking resemblance to Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon - both in looks and in his endearing, gentle nature. George has earned the nickname "Shadow" for his devotion to following his humans around the house, calmly settling wherever they are and soaking up every moment of togetherness. When it's time to unwind, he transforms into a belly rub connoisseur, slipping into a blissful trance. Despite his rough past as a stray, George's heart overflows with love and trust for his people.<br/><br/>George is incredibly treat-motivated and responsive to redirection, making training a rewarding experience. He gets along wonderfully with his foster family's resident dog and is playful with them. He played nicely with other dogs during his shelter stay and does well with slow, proper introductions. George is continuing to build his confidence for calm on-leash greetings with other dogs, and with patience and positive reinforcement, he's making great progress. This medium-energy gentleman is perfectly content with daily walks and has recently discovered an interest in fetch. He's fully crate and potty trained, making him an easy addition to the home. While he loves being near his people, George does just fine when left alone and shows no signs of separation anxiety.<br/><br/>George would thrive in a quiet home with a fenced yard or in a less densely populated area where he can enjoy his daily routine. He needs patient, understanding adopters who appreciate that slow introductions and consistent, positive training yield the best results. A household with children 12+ or adults only would be ideal for this sensitive soul who's looking to share his considerable capacity for love with the perfect human companion. If you're seeking a devoted shadow who will be your constant, gentle companion and the world's best cuddle buddy, George is ready to fill that special place in your heart and on your couch.<br/><br/>If you're interested in meeting, George, please fill out an application at the link below. <br/><br/>https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DHDN/Dog
