George

My story

George is a fun-loving, energetic, and vocal puppy who always wants to be near his humans! He’s incredibly smart, food-motivated, and picks up on new things quickly. Like most puppies, he’s still learning the ropes—especially potty training—and currently uses pee pads and a pen setup. Though not yet crate-trained, George is showing promise and settles in his crate nicely with a long-lasting treat. He can be a bit vocal, but he’s managing alone time pretty well as long as he has something to chew.George had parvo early in life, so his socialization is a bit behind, but he's bouncing back strong and there's still plenty of time to help him thrive. He hasn’t had much interaction with other dogs or kids, so we’re still figuring out those dynamics. He cannot live with cats because he gets too excited around them.George is a high-energy pup who benefits from several short walks or active play sessions each day. He’s playful, loves chewing (especially on sticks), and his favorite game is tug—bonus points if you drag him around while playing! He’ll need continued training, socialization, and lots of patience—but with your time and commitment, George is sure to become a loyal and lovable companion.If you are interested in George, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.
