George's story began when he was picked up as a stray in Cherokee, Iowa, and brought to Valley Veterinary Clinic. Sadly, no one came forward to claim him, and after his hold period ended, he joined the Noah's Hope Animal Rescue family.
George appears to be a Black Lab/Pointer mix and is estimated to be around 6 years old. This handsome guy is as friendly as they come and would love nothing more than a family to call his own.
George gets along wonderfully with the other dogs in his foster home and enjoys being part of the pack. He is currently working on his house training and still has an occasional accident. We suspect George spent much of his life outdoors, so learning that potty breaks happen outside on a schedule is something he's still mastering.
One thing is certain—George absolutely loves indoor life! He seems incredibly grateful for the comforts of a warm home, a soft bed, and people who care about him. His crate training is nearly complete, and when he's not relaxing in his crate, you'll likely find him curled up next to his favorite person. George is a world-class cuddler and never passes up the opportunity to snuggle.
He also enjoys chew toys, rides in the car, and soaking up every bit of love and attention he can get. George has formed a strong bond with his foster and wants to be wherever his person is. His affectionate nature and loyal heart make him a wonderful companion.
George is learning all the things he needs to know to become someone's very best friend. What he needs now is a family willing to give him the love, patience, and security he's missed out on for far too long.
Because George spent an unknown amount of time fending for himself, a securely fenced yard is required for his safety. He is generally quiet in his foster home but may bark when there is a lot of activity happening outside the fence.
George weighs approximately 75 pounds and is neutered, microchipped, and current on all vaccinations. His adoption Fee: $135. Click on the link below to complete an adoption application
