My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

According to his foster mom, It has been a wonder for her to experience Georgino’s trust and affection. This incredibly sweet, affectionate senior guy deserves nothing less than love, affection, and support for his challenges as he lives out his golden years, and it has been a privilege for me to be a part of that effort. 

 

Georgino is housebroken and walks very nicely on the leash. He is good when meeting new people new people and submissive with other dogs.

 

He is being treated for chronic dry-eye, but he is at this time nearly totally blind, seeing only shapes in well-lit areas. Vet allows that his condition may improve with time, although he will at best be able to see around corneal scarring.  Georgino also also appears to be deaf in one ear and has hearing loss in the other. Vet believes that chronic ear infections, likely due to chronic, untreated allergies, have led to vestibular issues that have, in turn, affected Georgino’s balance.

 

Georgino takes medication for allergies and dry eye 2X/day. It is our impression that Georgino barks excessively because he becomes disoriented due to vision and hearing challenges, and as a result suffers separation anxiety. He also barks in order to demand food or request assistance when he is in low light. 

​

Georgino will require continued training to mitigate excessive barking as well as watchfulness of diet and environmental exposures in order to get allergies under control; Georgino’s sweetness makes this bit of effort so worth it!

 

The perfect forever family for Georgino is one who can offer a quiet adult only home and who has the time and money to manage his care. Doggie siblings of a similar age/energy level welcome.
