georgie

Meet Georgie!Georgie came to us via owner surrender when her family faced eviction. She's a social, affectionate dog who loves to be where people are but does best on her own terms - she can be timid at first and appreciates slow, calm introductions to new people and places. Georgie is curious and playful once she feels safe and is ready to learn with a patient person who can read her body language and give her space when she needs it.My Ideal HomeGeorgie would thrive in a quiet, adult-only home with someone patient and consistent. She benefits from a predictable routine, gentle training to build confidence, and management around valued items (food, toys, bedding). A home that can provide daily mental and physical activity, gradual socialization, and positive reinforcement training will help her shine.Good with Kids?No - Georgie is recommended for an adult-only home. She can be fearful in new situations and does best without young children to ensure she can acclimate at her own pace.Good with Other Pets?Georgie has lived with a cat and has been friendly with both familiar and unfamiliar dogs and cats in the shelter, but she does not always like to share food, toys, or bedding. Slow introductions, supervised interactions, and resource management (feeding separately, trading games) are recommended.Leash MannersGeorgie can pull on leash and may become nervous around moving objects like bikes, skateboards, or cars. She would benefit from continued leash training, calm exposure to street stimuli, and a harness or front-clip option during walks while she builds confidence.Overall HealthHealthy overall - comfortable with grooming (baths, brushing, nail trims) and accustomed to car rides, though she can be nervous getting into the car. She is crate trained and handled well for basic care.Behavior DeterminationExperienced adopters / Adult-only home recommended - Georgie shows some fearfulness, resource guarding around valued items, and mouthy behaviors that will need consistent, patient behavior modification and management. A calm, structured environment and a caregiver willing to work on training will set her up for success.Other Fun FactsGeorgie knows cues like "sit," "stay," and "paw." She loves chew and rope toys, enjoys bath time, and likes car rides once she's comfortable. She's affectionate when she's ready and will happily spend time where people.
