There is nothing more that I love than a big boy with a big ole blocky head with the best face wrinkles to match. I can also certainly guarantee that we are thinking the exact same thing. Georgie Smiles hands down has one of the best smiles out there! He has the type of smile that is contagious and has this ability to make everything better. Georgie is more than his handsome good looks though. He is the definition of happy, loves loves loves people, always up for an adventure, smarter than a whip, and loyal to his core! Watch his video and fall in love with this happy boy: https://youtu.be/ReqyPYFDM7o?si=jt_NBDLzMGhe4AUR Georgie Smiles is believed to be a pittie mix approximately 6 years old and currently weighs 72 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. One thing we know for certain is Georgie absolutely loves people! The word stranger does not exist in his vocabulary. He does great meeting people in public making sure to smother them with kisses if they let him and is the happiest little butterball all the time. If you're someone who loves hosting, having friends over, and throwing parties, Georgie is the perfect dog for you! He loves being the center of attention and is a total social butterfly. He's a natural at making people feel welcomed, greeting everyone that walks through the door, and adding to the fun without being overwhelming. He knows when it's time to be social and when it's time to relax. He will happily snuggle up with your guests on the couch while y'all gossip or will happily entertain himself by playing with his favorite stuffy toy. Georgie is dog friendly and did great meeting all of the dogs we introduced him to. His gentle natured personality even shows itself when meeting new dogs. He'll do a little sniff, say hello and then he's off doing his own thing, finding a spot to lay in the grass and bask in the sun, or off exploring in the yard. Georgie has met a handful of dogs, all with different personalities and has even been with some wild younger playful dogs and was tolerant of their youthfulness as well. He is not a playful guy with other dogs, he gives off more of the laid back, distinguished gentleman, hang back and watch type vibes around other dogs. He will play occasionally and would enjoy scheduled playdates but wanna know what would make Georgie the happiest? Being your one and only fur baby in the home to soak up all the love and companionship. That truly is what is going to make him the happiest. When it comes to training, say no more! This handsome fella is ready to learn! It also helps that food is one of Georgie's love languages. He's incredibly treat motivated, and the moment he knows you've got a snack, his full attention is locked on you and he's ready to learn! This makes him a dream to train. He already knows how to sit and will even sit for you on a dime the second you tell him to. His house manners are pristine, never getting into things he shouldn't be and is crate trained and potty trained. Even if he did get into something he shouldn't, all you gotta do is call his name and he's already sitting by your side. Jengi is a 10/10 good boy! He will thrive with an adopter that will provide him with structure, leadership, and companionship. His ideal home would have a backyard where he can zoom around, play with his toys, and sunbathe during those nice summer days. He loves people and is a social butterfly, so if you're someone who likes to host and have friends over for backyard BBQs, Georgie will be right there in the middle of all the entertainment. He will absolutely be one of the main talking points in every conversation as well. Georgie loves to play with toys and would love if his future home had a basket full of all his favorites to choose from. He’s not picky about the toys he likes either, he loves them all! He is so funny when he’s playing because he will shake a toy with all his might, with drool and slobber flying in every direction. So be prepared to be sprayed! It’s honestly impossible not to laugh or even care about the slobber because Georgie is just so happy and living his best life. Georgie is a big lover boy who adores affection and loves to give wet, slobbery kisses while leaning his whole body up against you for booty scratches. He would make the biggest snuggle buddy after a game of tug of war in the backyard or after an adventure to the park or the beach. He is the perfect balance of playfulness and snuggles. Georgie can do both, and he’s ready to find his forever family. We are willing to test Georgie Smiles with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen!
