I am looking for George’s Happy ever after .

George was advertised on fb on a Thursday a few weeks ago and was already booked into be euthanised on the Friday morning!!

I was made aware of this by the person who went on to foster George.

I contacted his owner and said I could help and would he please cancel the vet appointment.

He did this and George went into foster.

The story goes that George had bitten the owners adult son on his hand when he tried to move him from a chair which he was not supposed to be on…..

There had apparently been 2 incidents involving the adult son.

Whilst George has been in foster his behaviour has been impeccable, he has been amazing and not shown any signs of aggression whatsoever.

He has shown affection, sleeping on the bed and cuddling up on the sofa with his foster mum.

It’s difficult to even think this is the same dog and that he would have been euthanised.

I am looking for a dog free home as he thrives as an only dog , no children and a home where he will have much needed company and walks .

He loves being out on walks and is happy to chill at home once he has had his exercise.

A home where he will be the centre of attention and not be left for long periods.

please only apply if you meet the criteria .
