Hi, I'm George!

My sister Joy and I wandered into a small-town park one day looking for what we love most---people! We happily greeted parents, children and anyone willing to stop and give us a little attention. After spending some time at the local pound, we were lucky enough to find our way into foster care, where we've been thriving ever since.

When my foster mom took me to the vet for the first time, I spent the whole visit watching everything with interest and curiosity, which is how I became "Curious George." My sister was all wiggles, smiles and tail wags so everyone agreed that her name would be Joy.

George is a HAPPY, LOVING, AFFECTIONATE boy who enjoys being part of whatever his people are doing. He is house trained, crate trained, rides wonderfully in the car, and minds very well. He's doing ok on leash and enjoys tagging along on adventures both big and small.

George gets along beautifully with his foster's dogs, doesn't bother the cat and has shown nothing but KINDNESS toward everyone he meets. We already know he LOVES CHILDREN and people because that's exactly what drew him to the park in the first place. He thrives on attention, affection and COMPANIONSHIP. When George's foster mom bends over to pick up something George is sure to dart over and sneak in a few kisses.

As for George and Joy, they absolutely adore each other. Being brother and sister, they share a special bond and enjoy spending time together. If you're looking for two wonderful companions, they would make an AMAZING PAIR. (Reduced Adoption Fee for both). However, they are also confident, social dogs who can adjust well to separate homes.

George would love a family that enjoys life's simple pleasures such as camping trips, hiking trails, walks around the neighborhood, visits to coffee shops, outdoor cafe's or just curling up on the couch for snuggles after a fun day. He is SOCIAL, FRIENDLY and always ready for the next adventure.

With his BEAUTIFUL shiny black and white coat, SWEET, HAPPY GO LUCKY personality, George is ready to bring happiness, laughter, LOYALTY and unconditional love to a lucky family. If you feel like you can provide George with a forever home, please contact Freedom Street Rescue.
