Description

Meet Georgie — A Sweet Soul Who Deserves a Second (FIRST) Chance - OLD Soul in Young Body! Poor Georgie… at just about 2 years old, he has already endured more than most dogs ever should. Georgie showed up in a dangerous area of South Atlanta—known for gang activity—wandering into the yard of a kind woman who rescues dachshunds. He was wearing a heavy collar, likely tied up for long periods, and was rake thin, starving, and emaciated. Based on his condition and location, we believe he may have come from a gang situation or a homeless encampment. From Survival to Safety Despite everything he’s been through… Georgie is nothing but love. NO aggression TOWARDS anything or anyone.  NOT reactive at all.  Just enjoying having a real home, food, and a soft bed!! Extremely sweet and gentle Easygoing and calm Gets along with all dogs, even at the vet Friendly with cats (yes—even the outdoor one!) Loves everyone he meets Rarely barks At night, he now gets to rest safely on a soft, donated dog bed—a huge upgrade from the life he once knew. Health & Recovery Not yet neutered (scheduled soon) Heartworm positive, but a mild case Heartworm Treatment has already begun and will be completed in a few months Fully vaccinated Eats well and is not food aggressive Takes treats gently What Georgie Needs While his current foster is doing an amazing job, Georgie would benefit from a quieter home environment where he can continue to heal and decompress without too much activity. He’s the kind of dog who will: ✨ Rest his big “chuckle head” in your lap ✨ Look at you with pure gratitude ✨ Love you with his whole heart ❤️ Why Georgie We know there are so many dogs in need… but Georgie is truly something special. You would be hard-pressed to find a sweeter, more grateful, or more loving companion. How You Can Help We are looking for: A foster home (all expenses covered) Or a forever home Georgie will be fully healthy before final adoption, and as always: Call/Text: 404-520-1060  Location: A Welcome Home Animal Rescue Email: awhar09@gmail.com Visit: www.awhar.org ✔️ Trial basis available ✔️ We take our dogs back at any time if needed Georgie survived a hard life… now he deserves a soft one.
