Story
Location: San Diego, CA
Meet George! This big, beautiful boy was saved from South Korea in 2022 when he was approximately two years old. His original owner, left him tied up outside on a short chain, all alone in the middle of nowhere, with very little food or water. Eventually, locals were able to negotiate his release and got George into our care.
After extensive vetting, training, and care, George was then adopted to one of our previous adopters, who had a female Golden also rescued by us. George lived with them for a year and a half before behavioral issues presented that the family was not able to work through such as food and resource guarding with the Dad who worked out of the home. We feel he was protecting the Mom he was home with all day which did lead to a one-time bite resulting in his surrender.
We, of course, took George back right away and transported him from Florida to San Diego, CA, where he’s currently at the training facility. George has been nothing but an angel with everyone he has met and has shown zero signs of aggression or unmanageable behavior. He was transported across the USA with zero issues, his driver wanted to instantly adopt him and would have if he wasn't on the road 24/7!
Like most GP, George is easily misunderstood by those not familiar with the breed, especially if he is not working or busy. We found out that his adoptive family was not walking him or giving him the mental stimulation we feel he needed, which is a bad idea for any dog, let alone a Guardian Breed like George. We are confident that with the right environment and leader, this sweet boy will shine!
Our dream home for George is one that loves and understands his breed, someone that lives an active life that will keep George thriving and happy.
Overall, George is an angel. He loves chasing balls, bubbles, and shadows. He is big and strong, but there is not a mean bone in his body, and his behavior is not aggressive. George is scared of thunder and still gets a bit upset with loud noises, such as big trucks or motorcycles so he would likely not do well in a city environment, but he is doing a lot better after consistent work with our trainers.
George has been with our professional trainers for a few months now, but we are eager to get him into a home all of his own! If you know would like to be considered for George, please get in touch today so we can assess if your home could be the right one for him!
Our group is heavily focused on rehabbing dogs from trauma so please only apply if you understand that George has come from a traumatic past and that he cannot be quit on ever again! He has already lost 2 families and that cannot happen ever again. If you would love to love this sweet boy forever, please apply on our website below!
