Hi there! My name is Georgie GIrl! I am a young, maybe around a year or so, female Whippet/Hound mix. I only weigh about 33 lb. I had to put on weight when my foster mom got me from the shelter. I was skin and bones. I guess wherever I came from originally must have pretty much starved me. I am not afraid of people so I don't think I was abused. Just neglected which is bad enough. I am a happy little girl. I love other dogs and people. My foster mom loves to watch me run around the back yard like a race horse. I fly! That is why she thinks I may have Whippet in me. also because I am small. I do have some kind of coonhound or hound in me. I have that hound dog bark. I am crate trained. I am not totally house broke but close. I love food and would eat all day if I could. I think that is because I was so starved as a puppy. I still act a lot like a puppy in that I can get into mischief if you leave your shoes or something laying about.. I would be good around older kids.,\. The reason I say that is because I am so food motivated, and treat motivated, I might grab a cookie or something out of a toddlers hand. That wouldn't be good. So I would do best with either no kids or older kids. I am very friendly and affectionate. I should have a fenced in yard to run in. I have a wonderful nature. I hope if you like hound dogs, you will consider me to be your new best friend. Here is something my foster mom has discovered about me. I can run as fast as the wind. My foster mom thinks I would make a great FASTCAT contender. If you know what this sport is, it is a contest to record how fast I would run chasing a lure. It's a fun event. If anyone knows what I am talking about and always thought it would be a fun thing to do with their dog.....consider me! Love and little kisses, Georgie Girl xoxox

VFAW is a small rescue organization that helps homeless dogs who are in kill shelters and strays. We do not have an actual shelter. We have individual foster homes that we keep our rescued dogs in until they find their forever homes. Once a dog in foster care gets adopted, it makes room for another dog to be rescued. We do everything medically needed done for each dog. We have taken in dogs with heartworm (and had them treated by vet), blind dogs, 3 legged dogs, special needs dogs, and very adoptable dogs. We do not euthanize.
We have been rescuing for over 18 years and have successfully found wonderful loving homes for hundreds of dogs. We keep in contact with the new adopters to make sure things are going well. If there are any issues we work with them to try to make it better. We do ask that if for some reason an adopter cannot keep the dog that it is returned to VFAW.
We started this rescue because we are in a very rural area where people need to be educated on over population. There are too many stray dogs running around and we decided something had to be done to help them. We spay or neuter all dogs before adopting. We encourage our adopters to give us updates and also let us know if they are having any issues. We want the adoption to be a success. We take in any breed, mix, size etc. All dogs in need are all important to us.
