Why I need a new home

Human health issues (e.g. allergies, sickness)

My story

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


George is an Bernese Mountain/Saint Bernard mix and weighs apprx 115 lbs. For close to 2 years, George and Piper were being starved living off portions of table scraps (when he was allowed to eat at all). They had basically NO shelter from the elements. What little water he had was muddy and not drinkable. He attempted to get water off of a small tin roof when it rained that barely covered his living area (which was chained to a post and unable to move past approximately 5 feet). George would be punched and kicked by the kids of the family. Since the day they were rescued, they have been provided with food, vet care, up-to-date vaccinations, treats, walks, love, and safety. From past meet-and-greets, we've learned that he does not do well with larger male dogs. He needs understanding, patience, structure, and time to decompress in a new environment. George is leash trained and is comfortable in a house and goes to the door when he needs to potty.
