Terrier / Corgi / Mixed : : Male (neutered) : : Young
George was adopted about 2 years ago but his family fell on extremely hard times and was left with no choice but to give him up so he can have a chance at a wonderful and loving forever home. He is on heartworm preventative and weighs about 50 pounds.
George is described by his foster family as energetic but easy going and loves people. He gets along great with kids, other dogs and cats. He currently is being fostered in a house with 2 other dogs. George is a very loving dog and enjoys leaning on you, resting his chin on you and snuggling on the couch. He is willing to please and listens very well to someone who is firm but gentle. He is very smart and has settled into a new routine very quickly. His intelligence, paired with his high motivation for treats and attention, suggests that it would be easy to teach him new tricks. He has learned the rules of his foster home very quickly.
George is fully house trained and doesn't have any chewing, barking or aggression issues. He is crate trained and has slept in a crate all his life. He does jump up on people but his foster family is working with him to correct the behavior.
The ideal placement for George would be in a home with a fenced yard and kids (preferably elementary school age or older) to play with. He would also do best being the only "lap dog" since he wants to be with his people all the time. He is being fostered with another "lap dog" and they have worked out their issues but George would most likely be happiest being the only "lap dog".
Hopefully you have room in your home and heart for this wonderful, handsome boy. He really is a great dog whose family fell on hard times and was forced to do what was best for George!
Submit an Application Adoption process Submitting an application does not guarantee a specific dog or cat. We strive to match the personality and needs of our foster dogs and cats to a family who will best fulfill those needs. If a family is not approved for a particular pet, it does not mean they will not be a good pet owner, it just means that their needs and the needs of the particular pet don’t match. We do not adopt on a “first come, first serve” basis. Once your application is received, the application process begins. We will review your application, check your references, check with your vet (if there are other animals in the household), speak to a landlord (if you rent), and arrange for a home visit. Once your application is pre-approved (meaning, we don't see any red flags based on our preliminary review of your application), the applicant may be invited to meet their potential family member at a location convenient to the foster family (usually at the King George Petco). Adoptions will NOT take place at the meet & greet, this is just a chance for us to get to know you and for you to spend time with our animals. After the meet and greet, we will ask that you spend some time thinking over your decision and we will do the same. After the application review process is complete (meet & greet with animal, home visit, reference/vet checks, background check, etc.), if all is acceptable to both adopter and KGARL and we all agree to move forward, we will schedule a day/time to finalize the adoption. The adopter will be asked to sign the final paperwork and we will collect the adoption fee (cash, check, or paypal are all acceptable). At this time, you can either pick up your pet, or schedule a time to do so. Adopters will be required to schedule an appointment with their veterinarian of choice within 15 days of taking your new pet home. Please note that we do not do same day adoptions. If you are applying for a popular animal (such as puppies, small dogs, or special breeds), it can take several days for our volunteers to reach a decision that is best for the animal. We understand that it's difficult to wait, but please don't email us multiple times a day to check on the status of your application. We are a very small group and the same people that are reviewing your application are also replying to hundreds of emails and Facebook messages. We are all volunteers and have full time jobs outside of KGARL, so any time spent replying to emails/messages is time we are not reviewing your application. All Adoptions Include: Adoption Fees (unless otherwise noted in the pet's description): Dogs: See pet's description Other Pictures of George (click to see larger version):
