George is between 4 and 10 years old. We we told by the breeder 4 and the vet guessed 8-10 so we dont know for sure. He only has 2 teeth, so he has to have a soft diet. This doesn't stop him from enjoying his meals. He has come along way from where he was when he arrived at the Rescue. He had problems with the other dogs in the beginning, but has learned that they aren't so bad after all. He has to wear a belly band while he is in the house, since he isn't house trained yet, but he is trying. We have noticed that his bands have been staying dry longer now since he is going outside. He is learning all about ringing the bell to go outside & if he hears the other dog ring it, he runs right for the door & goes out. He knows how to go down the steps, but hasn't learned how to go back up again. He wants his person to be outside with him when he goes out & has the freedom of walking around my yard. George is still learning to walk on a leash too.  He is still a bit insecure about being alone outside though. He doesn't mind cats at all, he actually just ignores my cat. He does not do well in a small crate or Kennel, he needs more space. We have him crated at night in a large crate where there is enough room for a water dish & his bed. I have no idea at this point how well he will do with small children. George's perfect home would be to be the only dog, so he wouldn't have to share his attention with another dog. He will need a fenced yard, not an electric fence & collar. This boy has so much love  to give. If interested please apply for me!
