We will put you in touch with the kind couple who are friends of her adoptive Mom and are currently providing loving care to Georgia.
“. *** Georgia is a happy and healthy senior who needs a long term foster: loves to walk, good on a leash, housetrained, no destructive behaviour, no separation anxiety, good in car, no cats. Can be bossy with other dogs inside the home, great with all dogs in neutral areas. Please note : All of Georgia’s care expenses will be covered. ***
Georgia bio:
Age: 10_ S*x: F_spayed_ Dob: Nov. 18, 2014 Breed: smaller black lab-mix
Microchipped? yes
Vet Clinic: Fall river Animal Hospital, Vet: Dr. Leila McIntyre
Meals per day? twice One cup dry mixed with some wet (Georgia turns her nose up at dry food but mix a little wet in there and she is a good eater). She does not beg for food and is not a counter surfer. She takes her treats with a very gentle mouth.
What type of food? Performatrin Ultra (kibble and wet) available at PetValu
Please list any medical conditions: None
Weight: Georgia is a compact 36-40 pounds
Flea and Tick protected?- Nexgard Spectra, one tablet per month
Ok with nails being clipped (by groomer)? Yes, really good. Her nails are quite long. It is essential that they be trimmed on a regular basis for her comfort. She is also good with baths, too: give her a lot of treats, she’s fine.
Typically sleep where? On human’s bed or dog bed. If you sleep in, so will she!
Reactive to other dogs? Georgia is used to doggy daycare, and is friendly and playful. When a dog guest is in her home, she gets jealous when they receive human attention. This can be managed, but her new family needs to be present and mindful. She settles down after that initial meeting and will get along. We take Georgia’s chew bone away when other dogs are present, to keep everyone calm. She is fine with humans around her food but not other dogs (resource guarding). If she were to live with another dog, an initial meet and greet and trial period are essential. They could not be fed together.
Prey drive: Reactive to cats/squirrels, etc.? Yes, when on leash, she will lunge but can be easily redirected.
Leash pulling? Initially, but only because she is excited, she loves her walks. She quickly settles and is a great walker. Her harness has a back clip to prevent neck strain and she walks very well. We walk her 3 times per day, about 6 kms. total. She loves it, keeping her fit and her weight controlled. Her walks are a big sniff a thon. She wants to meet dogs and people.
Any separation anxiety when left alone? None
Behaviour during thunder storms/fireworks? She’s a little nervous.
Any destructive behaviour, like chewing? None. She can be trusted with open laundry hampers, shoes, etc.
Favourite toy? Antler.
When for treats? When she comes in from her walk, after her paws are wiped (During tick season, I lint roller her body after walks, she is very patient and tolerant).
Enjoy being brushed? yes
Typically, how many bowel movements per day? Two (she is very regular)
Housebroken? Yes
Any anxiety or car sickness while travelling? No. Good in car.
Bite history? No. Georgia is a happy, gentle, and well mannered girl.
Behaviour with children: She greets very excitedly and jumps up. She may knock a smaller child down. Over 5 years of age should be okay.
Vaccines: Georgia is up to date on all her core shots as well as Bordetella and leptospirosis.
Barking: She is a very quiet girl. However, she barks at outside noises. Her foster parents live beside a walking trail. When the windows are open, Georgia patrols around inside and sounds the alert to all. She would be best suited to a fully detached home (no apts. or townhomes).
Background: Georgia was brought up from the U.S. in 2020, and adopted by her mom. (We have all her original health records and related documents). Due to her mom’s medical diagnosis, her adoptive mom has made the heartbreaking decision that it’s best for Georgia to be rehomed in a long term foster setting. She has been a well cared for and well loved dog and that is reflected in her disposition. She has been with her foster parents since February and has settled in very well. She is a very happy and loving dog, she loves being touched, especially bum scratches!
Georgia currently resides in Hammonds Plains and she would love a meet and greet and walk with interested potential long term fosters. “
