Georgie's Story

Meet Georgie – Your Future Couch Cuddle Buddy!<br/><br/>He is a 1 year old, 49.8 pound, APBT mix that was surrendered to the shelter. Georgie is a goofy, gentle soul with a heart that’s just looking for the right place to call home. After a rocky start in a chaotic environment, this sweet boy is finally starting to show his true colors – and let us tell you, they’re absolutely lovely.<br/><br/>Georgie was originally found as a stray by his previous owners, who kept him for about five months. During that time, he lived in a very busy household with 7 other dogs—including 4 small ones—and 10 special needs children. It was a lot for a young dog to handle, and Georgie became understandably overwhelmed. He didn’t like sharing his food or toys and was constantly on high alert around the other dogs.<br/><br/>The decision to surrender Georgie came after a difficult situation: some of the smaller dogs began attacking his legs, and Georgie, having been pushed past his limits, tried to defend himself. In an attempt to break things up, the owner laid their full weight on top of him—startled and frightened, Georgie reacted by biting. It was an unfortunate moment, but one that made it clear he needed a calmer, more structured environment to thrive.<br/><br/>When he first arrived at the shelter, Georgie was very nervous and unsure of his new surroundings. During his 10-day bite quarantine, our team focused on helping him feel safe—and it wasn’t long before he became a staff favorite! With time, patience, and one-on-one attention, Georgie began to blossom into the sweet, sleepy, and silly boy he truly is. He walks beautifully on leash, takes treats gently, and loves hanging out with his favorite people.<br/><br/>Georgie is now ready for a fresh start. He’s looking for a calm, predictable home—no small children, please—and may enjoy the company of a respectful dog friend who gives him space. What he really needs is someone patient and understanding, willing to offer him the second chance he so deserves.<br/><br/>Despite his past, Georgie is all heart. He’s ready to trade shelter life for soft beds, peaceful mornings, and a loving home that sees the good boy he is.<br/><br/>? Could you be the calm to his chaos, the safe place he’s been waiting for?
