Georgia

This good, sweet girl is all about playing and YOU! If you want to do something, she wants to do something. If you want to snuggle, she wants to snuggle. If you want to play with toys, she wants to play with toys. If you want to learn, she wants to learn.

Georgia is described by staff as a sweetheart, bubbly, adorable and soft—as in velvety soft to the touch. Sometimes rowdy, sometimes jumpy, sometimes bouncy, sometimes silly, but ALWAYS into her human compatriot, no matter her mood.

She came to us from a shelter in New Jersey where she had been surrendered by her owner due to life changes, and there, her high energy and friendly personality caught the eye of a trainer. She seemed comfortable in new environments and her drive for play and toys was high—all the things we look for in the dogs we train. However, when we did X-rays on her joints, a small spot of arthritis showed up on her elbow, making her ineligible to continue on in our program due to the high-impact nature of the training exercises. Because of that, Georgia is now looking for a low-impact career path or an active family home.

Georgia is a young dog with plenty of potential to do all kinds of things as long as they don’t include jumping off tall ladders, rubble piles, or other things that might be hard on the joints. She could have fun doing a low-impact sport with her person, like nose work or rally. She could thrive in a job other than urban search and rescue. She might enjoy a partner who takes her to the beach and lets her snuggle up in the car afterwards with her favorite blanket (she loves blankets and stuffies). She also may appreciate the company of another dog in a home – she’s done well and had fun in playgroups with other dogs.

As playful and energetic as she can be, she also has an off switch and loves attention and affection. She is a people pleaser in the most pleasant way! Most of all, she just wants to be around her favorite person. If that person is you—you are one lucky dog!
