Georgie

I'm trying a new home to see if i like it. Georgie is only a young boy who was rescued from the pound a complete and utter matted mess (see photo below) and his coat was in such a state that we can only assume he had never been groomed before. Georgie was clipped off whilst he was anaesthetised for his desexing surgery, which was the kindest thing to do as a coat this matted is very uncomfortable and can even cause the dog pain to clip off. Georgie is now in foster care with a loving family consisting of mum, two teenagers, a doggy foster brother and the resident cat. He has settled in beautifully and is a sweet and loving dog. For the first few days in his foster home, poor georgie did not even know how to eat from a bowl and would only eat from the floor or try to eat from the garbage. . . . What a dreadful life he must have had before. Those days are most definitely over now and thankfully the past has not affected georgie's personality at all. He is now eating his meals from his bowl, playing and romping with the other dog and playing with toys. He is especially fond of squeaky toys and loves to have his ears and back scratched. Georgie is a house dog and a bright boy who mastered 'sit' in just a few short sessions. He has picked up house training without any problems and can already use the doggy door (with the flap up) and take himself outside when he needs to toilet. Georgie does not bark unnecessarily, nor does he chase or bark at the cat and he sleeps all night curled up on either the bed of his foster mum or one of the teenagers. Georgie is on the larger size for a maltese x and is a sturdy little dog weighing about 8 kilos. Although he has been clipped very short now his coat will grow and he will require regular grooming and clipping to keep his coat knot free and in good condition. Georgie is ideally suited to a family with children 8 years or older who have another similar sized, desexed dog to be his companion and playmate. Georgie comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, on heartworm prevention and with nsw local council lifetime registration for $350. If you would like more information on georgie or to arrange to meet him, please phone 0466 690916 (between 8am and 7pm only) or email using adoption enquiry as your subject heading. Before phoning or emailing, please check denise's rescued dogs in foster care on www. Paws. Com. Au for any updated photos and to make sure this dog is still available for adoption. Listed 26 june
