Meet Georgie!
Georgie is a 4-year-old, 11 lb Chiweenie with a big personality packed into a little body. He may take a few days to decide you're his person—but once he does, you're really his person.
Georgie is incredibly affectionate and devoted. He loves curling up next to his person on the couch for a nap, climbing into a lap for cuddles, and keeping an eye on whatever you're doing. He'll happily settle beside you while you relax or work, but he's also an active, curious little guy who loves going out for walks and playtime.
He is fully potty trained with a consistent routine. He's an easy walking companion who doesn't pull, although his Dachshund instincts kick in when he spots a bird, squirrel, or rabbit. He's comfortable with stairs and will occasionally ask to be picked up when he's had enough walking.
Georgie also loves to play! Fetch is a favorite, especially with squeaky balls, and he'll happily play for 15–30 minutes. He's food and treat motivated, enjoys appropriate chews, and has no food guarding or handling issues.
He does have a mischievous side. Georgie is smart, curious, and very good at finding his own entertainment when he's bored—including occasionally stealing tempting things like water bottles. Regular walks, playtime, appropriate chews, and a reasonably dog-proofed home will help keep his talents directed toward better projects.
Georgie is crate trained and enters his crate willingly most of the time. He sleeps quietly in his crate for about nine hours overnight. He can become restless when crated for longer periods during the day, so he'd be happiest in a home where he gets plenty of interaction and activity.
With new people, Georgie is cautious rather than immediately outgoing. He may back away or stay close to the person he trusts while he figures someone out, but once comfortable, he's an exceptionally loving little companion. He's also sensitive to sudden loud noises but otherwise enjoys keeping tabs on the world, especially from a good neighborhood-watching window.
He can be nervous in the car but loves joining his person once he reaches his destination. He is continuing to build confidence outside the home.
Georgie would be a wonderful match for someone looking for a small dog who is equal parts cuddly companion and curious little adventurer. Give him some time to trust you, a predictable routine, daily activity, and plenty of affection, and you'll get an extraordinarily devoted little sidekick.
Georgie is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $500.
