George when he arrived in June, 2012 |
On October 6, 2012 George came to hang out at the MnPAW (Minnesota Partnership for Animal Welfare) annual super adoption event, aka The Great Minnesota Pet Together. Leech Lake Legacy also had a booth at the event and we were blessed to see George and his best bud Naomi. It was clear he was a very, very happy boy :)
Shortly after the super adoption event, George struck gold and was adopted by the most wonderful family ... we recently received an update on George and had to share what his new mom Vicki G. has to say about George ....
"He is a wonderful dog. It is hard to
believe how fast he has adapted to our family and is so smart and loyal
for what he went through, I have a few more pics of him playing and resting.
The papers we got on him from the shelters, no one knew if he would be good
around little children. I have 6 of them and he loves each one. He is their
protector and follows them everywhere. When they spend the night George never
stays in our room but goes and lays at the foot of their bed or on the rug
beside the bed till morning when we get up. I honestly don't think I could have
gotten a better behaved and loyal dog if I tried raising one myself. He
was house broken and never has had a accident in the house. He is allowed to
sit in one chair, a recliner that is strictly his and does not even
try to go on other furniture. He also has a big dog pillow in the living room he
lays on. We have 23 acres here and he loves to run and play with the kids
and chase squirrels. He is the best companion ever to all of our family.
Everyone loves George. I will send some more photos in next email. Thank
you so much for bringing him into our lives ...
George and Naomi (October, 2012) |
.... Oh I forgot to tell you he loves to swim. Last fall he had a blast in
the river. The Crow Wing River runs along our back yard. It is shallow
most the year here except early spring. Last fall the deepest area was like
just above my knees and the geese come every year. Oh my gosh he loved to chase
and tease them. He doesnt really try to hurt them he just likes to make a big
splash and get them to fly and then they come back and squack at him and he
does it again a few times. Then he loses interest and finds a squirrel or two
to chase up a tree. We have plenty of them around. We like to camp,hike and go
tubing so this summer he will get to go with us and try out all of the things
and places we go." Vicki G.
Thank you Vicki (and your entire family) for giving George such an incredible home ... and thank you to our partner shelters (and a special thanks to Naomi!) for all you did to care and provide for George so that he would have the best chance at finding the perfect home .. and he sure did find the perfect home.
We love getting updates! And these photos just warm our hearts :)
