If the perfect dog exists, it just might be Georgie Porgie. One of the most lovable and well-behaved hounds you'll ever meet, Georgie is ready to bring warmth, joy, and gentle companionship into his forever home. He has the kind of even, steady temperament and beautiful, shiny eyes that make everyone feel instantly at ease...and at home. And at three years old, he's learned a thing or two: he's house-trained, leash-trained, and perfectly content in a crate. But his most special quality is his easygoing personality: Georgie adores men and women of all ages and has a particularly soft spot for children, greeting them with a wagging tail and quiet affection. He also gets along beautifully with other dogs ( and even cats). Having lived with all types of people and animals, he's never been anything but the perfect houseguest. Despite his gentle nature, Georgie still has a playful sparkle that makes every day brighter. He loves a good game of tug-o-war, a happy romp with furry friends, and then settling in on a welcoming nap for cuddles. One of his absolute favorite things in the world is going for car rides—he’ll hop in eagerly, ready for any adventure, big or small, road trip or errand, as long as he’s by your side. Georgie Porgie is the kind of dog who will fit right into your life and your heart, offering loyalty, kisses, and unconditional companionship. And the best part is he's waiting to meet you right now.
