ears old Weight: 24 lbs Special Needs: DEAF Meet George. This three-year-old beautiful Boston boy came to us as an owner surrender because his owner was moving and could not bring him. We've brought him into foster care and are going to get him neutered and up-to-date on shots and ready for a new home. There's a lot to love about George! He is deaf, but very highly adapted and functions just fine And really, if we weren't told he was deaf it would've taken us a while to figure it out! He loves other dogs and loves to play, but we don't recommend him for a house with senior or irritable dogs because he is a rather rough player. He's a bigger Boston boy and does just fine with bigger dogs. We don't know of any health issues, but he does have some resource guarding of his person and needs a strong leader who can build trust and teach him how to interact appropriately with other dogs and with people. He's also used to have in the run of the house while his family worked and he does not do well in a crate, he becomes highly anxious and barks and will eventually settle down but it takes in a while. He does some territorial marking but we do expect that to improve tremendously after his neuter! Please consider giving this gorgeous boy a loving home. UPDATE FROM HIS TRAINER: I have been working with George on a training protocol and he is quite the smart boy! Currently, we are working with him on a resource guarding protocol using positive reinforcement training. Once he bonds to a person, he is great! He may need a few meet and greets in order to feel comfortable with his new adopter before he goes home. George is learning all hand commands for behaviors such as sit, down, watch me and stay. He would do best in a calm environment where he can slowly transition and have stability. Once he is in a home environment he should slowly be introduced to new people to expand his horizons, but at the first few weeks would be best if he could get to know his new person and for them to get to know him.
