My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

George
American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
Male
5 years old
48 lbs.
Hello friends, I’m George! I’m the sweetest, most mellow pup who loves snuggling, playing, and being with my people and doggy friends! I am looking for a loving forever home where I can live the peaceful, happy life I so greatly deserve.

I arrived in Denver as a scared, scarred, skinny pup. I have blossomed into a friendly, healthy cuddlebug, soaking up the love and care my fosters shower upon me. My nature is so friendly, good, loyal, and resilient that I’m looking ahead to a bright future! I’m going to bring so much joy to my forever family!

Sometimes I need a little time to warm up when meeting new people or in large groups, but as soon as I’m comfortable, I am the most affectionate guy. If you have treats, we’ll be best friends! I’m starting to learn how to play with toys, especially my fun plastic squeaky toys. I have a medium to low energy level, and my favorite activity is lounging on the couch next to my people, being petted while I snore happily. I roam free in my foster home and don’t have any naughty habits, so I don’t need to be crated, but sometimes I’ll snooze in my cozy crate or in a closet. I also like to sit in a window seat and watch the happy world around me!

There are a few things my new family should keep in mind so I can live my healthiest life. My teeth are rather worn and ground down, but that doesn’t stop me from being the happiest boy and chewing on all my favorite toys. Like all pets, I will need continued dental care throughout my life. I have a chicken allergy so I require a chicken-free diet. I thrive on fish and beef flavored food and treats - yum! I was previously heartworm positive and underwent successful treatment. Also, I had a cancerous mass removed - whew! It’s always possible that another mass or cancer could return, so I’ll continue to appreciate being loved and pet all over my body to check on my health, as well as being taken for regular veterinary care.

I am best friends with my foster brother! I absolutely adore having a confident canine companion to show me how to enjoy life. I’ve done well meeting other dogs on my walks, greeting them appropriately with my tail wagging and a smile on my face. I haven’t met any cats, but I want to chase squirrels and bunnies, so it’s best that I live in a home without small animals. My foster family has nicknamed me Mr. Snuffleupagus, and I could also be called Curious George. I’m such a special boy, and you’ll be so proud and happy to have me by your side!

I look forward to meeting you! Please learn more about the adoption process and fill out an application at https://pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process. I look forward to meeting you!
