George~Adopted

This is George, See George, George has done nothing wrong but is losing his home. This happens all the time and why it is so important for people to consider adopting a rescued dog over buying ne from a breeder or pet shop. George's family feel they need to cut expenses and down size so their new plans do not include him. George was adopted as a young puppy and is now about a year old now. He has always been a wonderful boy and deserves a permanent, loving home where he can stay and not have to move again. He was homeless as a puppy so he does not need to find himself homeless again. Adopting is a long term decision and commitment. Please make sure you are ready for this type of commitment before adopting. This is how George's family describes him - "He needs space to run and other dogs to play with. He is very loving and a good boy. He is large, maybe 55-60 lbs. Likes to come inside and lay by the fireplace. Bear is a wonderful guy. He does not ask for much. He likes to play with the birds in the yard and I think they like him, too. He likes his pillow bed and will lay there when asked to. He loves Sugar ( a 10 year old 3 pound Chihuahua) and they play as much as she will allow. He is into chewing the bushes right now but I have gotten him some huge bones to chew. He likes to walk and explore, always turning and checking on me as we walk. He is greatly attached to me, loves my flute playing, comes up to smell the flute. He is a not a problemed dog, except the plant chewing. He is bored during the day. I guess." Bear is mostly housetrained but may still have an occasional accident. If this may be a problem, please do not consider him for adoption. The adoption fee is $125 and covers all necessary vetcare to include: spay or neuter (mandatory - no exceptions), rabies, microchipping and registration, all vaccinations (including all puppy shots, rabies, adult boosters and Bordatella), grooming, Frontline for flea/tick preventative, heartworm check if age appropriate and preventative, collar and 50% of basic training classes. Adoption showings are every Sat & Sun at the WLR Petco on Chenal Parkway across from Target and Home Depot from 1-4. We do not show on holiday weekends. Also, you may want to call the store to make sure this pet is still available. Please call during our showing hours at 501-219-9907 as the store employees are not always aware on the availability of our rescues. Email contact is [email protected] Due to time restraints, we are not able to accept phone calls outside of our showing times at Petco (Sat & Sun 1-4) but we always try and answer all emails within 24 hours. All of our young and adult dogs require a 2 week home visit before finalizing the adoption process. This is to help ensure it is a good match for all involved without making a final commitment. Puppies are not available to go on home visits. All of our rescues are in private homes and not available to be visited outside of showing times. All of our fosters work with our rescues to ensure they are crate trained and most are also housetrained. None of our fosters have cats in their homes so we can only make our best guess as to how our rescues would do with cats. We rescue from high kill shelters and once accepted into our program, none of our rescues are euthanized. We provide for all their vetcare, socialization and training until an appropriate home can be found. We rely solely on donations and are a 501(c)3 private Humane Society. Our mission is to rescue dogs that most other groups are not interested in due to their size, breed, age, health or other various reasons. This does not mean that there is something wrong with any of our rescues, it just means we help the ones others tend to leave behind. Thank you for your interest in rescue and in saving the life of a dog. Every day in the United States, 11,000 dogs are euthanized. Why Buy When You Can Save???????? Save a Rescued Dog
