Looking for a loyal companion with a heart of gold? Meet George, a lovely older gentleman who is ready to find his forever family. George has a friendly, social, and affectionate personality that makes him a pleasure to be around. He loves spending time with people and is happiest when receiving attention from his favourite humans. George actively seeks affection, leaning in for pats and happily returning for more, making him the perfect companion for anyone looking for a dog who enjoys being part of the family. George has plenty of enthusiasm for life, he loves getting out and about, exploring new surroundings, and investigating every interesting scent he can find. He would thrive in an active home that can provide daily walks, adventures, and enrichment to keep both his mind and body engaged. George requires a home with secure fencing and access to both indoor and outdoor areas, allowing him to enjoy family time inside while still having space to explore outdoors. George is social with other dogs and particularly enjoys playtime. He can be quite vocal when playing and tends to have a rough-and-tumble play style, so any canine companions should enjoy a similar level of interaction. His very best friend is Terra, and the two absolutely adore spending time together. If you have been considering welcoming two dogs into your home, George and Terra could make a wonderful ready-made pair. George is best suited to a home with children aged 10 years and older who can respectfully interact with him and appreciate his gentle nature. Due to breed-related restrictions, potential adopters must reside within the ACT. If you are searching for a kind, affectionate, and social companion who loves people, enjoys adventures, and has plenty of love to give, George could be the perfect addition to your family. He is ready to bring friendship, fun, and loyal companionship to his new home.
