George

Hello! My name is George (my friends call me Georgie)! I have had a bit of a rough go, but I am still the most loving guy - it takes a lot to beat me down. I have an adventurous spirit and a heart of gold. I would love a big backyard to run around in and a cozy space to cuddle in when I'm ready to chill. I haven't had the chance to try many of these Rocky Mountain sports yet, but I imagine hiking up some peaks would be right up my alley! The staff are impressed with my leash skills (switching to a harness really helped) and they all agree I am a gentle guy who just needs somewhere safe to call my own. I used to be nervous around certain people upon first meeting (particularly in my room), but now that I'm settled in here and know I'm safe, I've learned to love making lots of new friends! While in the shelter, my happy-go-lucky puppy side has really emerged, and the staff have loved watching my playful, carefree attitude come out. I love toys, and when you come into my room I will usually grab one to proudly show you. I've decided I was probably a lap dog in a past life, so I hope you're ready for me to crawl right onto you for snuggles! Crates are a trigger for me, so a I would prefer we work on a different option, like my own room as a "safe space" or some training for if there are times I may need my own space to decompress. I have lived with kids, and I think another dog could be a possibility! I am excited to get a fresh start and find a home where I can finally be part of the family - I swear I won't disappoint!
