George: Not At Shelter

About George: Not At Shelter (Labrador retriever) in Rustburg

George: Not At Shelter is waiting for you at Friends of Campbell County Animal Control in Rustburg, VA 24588. If you are looking for a happy, well-rounded and devoted companion, we nominate George!

George is housetrained, wonderful with other dogs, and is even good with cats! He has been diagnosed with slight hip dysplasia in both hips, and will have more problems with arthritis as he ages. He can be treated with cosequin on a daily basis and live a pretty normal life, and he will love having dog friends and a family who won't race him madly around the ball field chasing and fetching, but he can still have a great life! George has appropriate play skills with other dogs and has a very special friend, a red pitbull named Lily.
