George Best Guess for Breed: Lab Mix Best Guess for Age: 8 months (as of 3/21/2018) SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 40 lbs Has Lived With: other dogs Currently Living at: DC Foster Special adoption considerations: can be a little shy at first so having a second dog is recommended Update from overnight foster: "George is timid at first but once he sees ANY other dog he warms up and quickly follows suit. Once he gets to know his people better, he becomes more confident but still likes to get reassurance with a nice pet on the head or a jump in your lap. He got along wonderfully with our dog, Dempsey. George loves a good game of keep away, tug of war or really anything that Dempsey was playing with/doing. He is super sweet and can't cuddle close enough with people or other dogs. George would make a great addition to family and a great little brother to a luck dog" Meet George! This adorable boy is an 8 month old lab mix, weighing in at approximately 40 pounds. George is still in his young puppy years, so he will need a lot of both mental and physical stimulation on a daily basis to keep him happy and healthy. An adopter who works full time would need to commit to having a midday dog walker or day care for him during the week. He would love to go on long walks, hikes, and take trips to the dog park so he can socialize with his canine friends. And of course, upon returning home, he'd love to shower his new forever family with tons of kisses and cuddles! George gets along great with other dogs and it's recommended that he be in a family with other dogs since he is a little timid on his own. We haven't had a chance to see him interact with cats or kids yet. If you have them, let us know, and we'll do our best to find out! George is also looking forward to attending obedience school to work on his doggie manners and impress his new family. George will make a GREAT companion and family member; you won’t regret opening your heart and home to this sweet boy! Like most shelter dogs, George may need a refresher on housetraining. He is likely crate trained. The adoption fee for this dog is $350, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
