George - Be My Eyes? walk me daily? SPECIAL NEEDS GEM Treeing Walker Coonhound Gorham, ME

Meet George, a ~3-year old, ~70-lb Treeing Walker Coonhound who is being fostered in the Portland, Maine area and is available for adoption. Meet him anytime...he's good for visitors! He is fun and entertaining. His vision impairment does not slow him down. He is a typical Hound and those who love the breed will adore the big lug. We think George would make the perfect greeter for any small business - he's already a fan favorite at Lowes!!

George has limited vision in both eyes, so we are looking for a loving and patient family who can support George as he needs help maneuvering around the house or being introduced to new surroundings. George's foster mom is working hard with him in anticipation of his adoption, and he is doing a good job following her voice.

According to his foster Mom, George loves to be around other dogs and adopts the excited energy of his canine friends. He gets very excited when his foster Mom comes home and his tail wags incessantly. George is a sweet, calm and loving guy and is excellent around children and other dogs. Any family would be lucky to call this handsome hound part of their family.

George is a happy hound who enjoys treats and naps, but is a little overweight so he does need a forever family committed to getting him the daily exercise he needs. George does have little spurts of energy when he finds his bones and toys on the floor, and is especially fond of getting brushed and massaged. George loves to walk on his retractable leash where he can venture and explore, and is doing quite well with his leash-walking

George's adoption fee is $200. He is vetted, neutered and has earned his Health certificate.
