Georgia comes from a Reservation, where she was an outdoor dog that never had a family to take care of her – she was on her own. She has acclimated well to becoming an indoor pet and is ready to find a loving home of her own.
Georgia is a 4 yr old female yellow lab mix that weighs 40#. She is housebroken, and can be crated when left (or she might get into things or chew inappropriately). After about a week of learning the routine of her new foster home (she recently switched to a new home) , Georgia is now left for up to 9 hrs and not crated. But she has another dog in the home, approved things to chew on, and knows she’s going to the dog park when her foster gets home. Not a barker, but might cry a little when left or kenneled. She likes chewing on rawhides and nylabones, and is learning to play with dog toys. At night, she sleeps in a dog bed on the floor. Her foster describes her as a very sweet, energetic dog that loves to be petted. She now socializes with some people at the dog park, but is still on the shy side – more friendly with kids than with adults. Has been respectful of the resident cat in her former foster home. Tries (unsuccessfully) to get the resident dog to play with her; good with meeting new dogs; definitely benefits from having another dog in her home. Georgia would do best if her new home had a fenced yard for her to run around in – she has one now, and respects the 4 ft fence. She is an active girl, and needs an active person (like a jogger) or someone that will take her to the dog park to provide adequate exercise. Georgia knows her name, and is learning to come when called – never drifts too far away from you at the park. Likes men and women equally, and is excited to see you if you’ve been gone. Sits close to her person for attention, and will give you her paw to encourage you to pet her. If she knows you, she might even jump on you to greet you. Georgia has adjusted to riding in the car, and can be tethered in the back seat.
Georgia has been spayed, and is current on distemper and rabies vaccinations. Her 4 DX is negative, and her microchip is registered to Second Chance. If you would like to meet her, please call 651-771-5662. Her adoption fee is $300.
