George was a rescue, his original name was Ace. We got him from someone who basically worked 12 hours a day and kept him in a crate the entire time. When we got him his fur was extremely matted, he didn't know how to walk on a leash. I think the original owners plan was to use him as a breeding dog because he was also not neutered.
We got him about 6 months ago. I believe he is almost 2 years old. Since we have had him, we have kept his shots updated, made sure he goes to the groomer regularly, he is neutered, and micro-chipped.
We were forced to recently move from our previous home where we had a large backyard for him to run around as much as he needed. We have since been forced to move into a small 3 bedroom apartment and I can tell he is not nearly as happy. We doesn't get the exercise he needs, and since we are in an apartment and have small children, I cannot just let him out and run around like he used to be able to.
