George is a two-year-old male, roughly 45 pounds. He is a cross of some kind, perhaps between a border collie and some sort of hound? He is dignified, polite, intelligent, good-natured, loves to run and play and have his belly rubbed: he shows affection quietly, by coming and placing his head against you. He is neutered, microchipped and house-trained.
He is very good with people, and generally with other dogs, at least off-leash. He can panic, however, on-leash, if he gets in close quarters with another dog. We think he must have broken his left hind foot at some point in the past: it has healed, and he can run very fast on it, but occasionally favours it, and has begun to develop arthritis.
He currently lives with 2 dogs listed on our site: Pipo and Karti. George and Pipo are especially good together.
George's ideal home would be one with people who are calm and are experienced with large dogs. One where he's allowed on the couch and bed.
His foster home is in midtown Toronto.
