Meet George

If happiness had a face, it would be Geoege!

This affectionate, energetic, all-around lovable pup is basically sunshine in dog form. George loves everyone he meets and just wants to be wherever his people are. Inside, outside, doesnt matter, as long as hes with you, hes happy.

He looks super serious in photos, but definitely is not. Constantly runs into his crate in case someone wants to give him a carrot!

Pita is the definition of enthusiastic. Walk? Amazing. Backyard time? Incredible. Kids? His favorite! He thrives on connection, play, and being your loyal shadow through every part of the day.

Hes crate trained and already knows sit and down, and while hes still working on house training and leash manners, his eagerness to please makes him a great student. With a little consistency and a lot of love, hes going to shine.

George would do best in a home with a yard where he can burn off some energy and enjoy the outdoors he loves so much. He gets along well with other dogs and doesnt need a canine sibling, but hes definitely down for a buddy if the vibe is right. He also loves kids!

If George were a character: Olaf because he gives the warmest hugs and is always happy
Superpower: Making you smile instantly
From George:I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

If youre looking for a joyful, affectionate best friend who will bring nonstop love and energy into your life, Pita is your guy

George is a English coonhound, pitbull terrier mix, born early January 2026! He came to B&B after being found as a stray, but has adjusted to life in his foster home so well!

He is being fostered in Richmond, VA and is up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, has been dewormed, and is on monthly preventatives. His adoption fee is $375 and covers the cost of age-appropriate core vaccinations, microchip, and required neuter when age-appropriate. We require that all adopters, regardless of the dogs age, are committed to ongoing training and socialization as part of responsible ownership. To apply to adopt George, visit www.beaglesandbentleys.org/adopt.

Spay/Neuter Disclosure:
Spay/Neuter will be scheduled when age-appropriate and is covered in the adoption fee. We require adopters to be within a reasonable distance of Richmond or Virginia Beach in order to complete spay/neuter with our approved clinics.

Note: Sending a Petfinder inquiry is not submitting an application. We require a completed adoption application to move forward with adoption.

Beagles and Bentleys has an across-the-board evaluative process that we apply to every application we review that prioritizes our animals in need. We conduct a vet reference check (all resident dogs must be altered/up to date on dhpp/rabies and monthly preventatives, and cats must be altered and up to date on rabies) and a virtual home visit call where we discuss the adoption process and see your home.
