About George

About 1 year ago, we were attending a birthday party for a family member. This family lived directly across from where George was surviving. George was living under horrific conditions and apparently just existing for approximately 2 years. While I want to spare too many details, it is important to make everyone aware of what George had to endure. He was being starved living off of 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. He was severely underweight. We were able to convince the owners to turn George over to us. Fast forward to today and you are looking at one of the most affectionate, healthy animals who just loves to be loved on. We were unable to house George primarily because we did not have a large enough house or yard (along with 5 cats). We were put in contact with an absolutely wonderful, caring couple who was aware of what was going on with George. They agreed to foster George in a great area as shown in the photos until we could get him fattened up and healthy. He has a great outdoor house in a large fenced in area with plenty of room to roam. George is leash trained and crate trained. We walk them often. George has been neutered and is up to date on vaccines and dewormed. George is part Bernese Mountain and St. Bernard mix weighing about 115 lbs. but he is a loving, affectionate and intelligent 115 lbs. George would be GREAT on farm or similar environment. He loves to be indoors as well! He is house trained. The current fosters are having severe health issues that is making it difficult for them to keep and maintain George's upkeep and we are not having any luck finding a forever home in the Hickory or surrounding NC area. Because of what he has been through, we vet and verify any potential new owners. George deserves the very best!
