Georgie

Age: 1.5 yrs • Weight: • Breed Guess: Blue nose Pit Adopt fee: $350 Georgie is a very special boy who had a rough life. He was found in Lemont at the back of a warehouse abandoned, standing next to his crate. He was scared and shut down. We believe he was left out there out in the cold locked up in his metal crate. In order to free himself broke free out of his crate. He came to us covered in feces, his paw pads torn and cut up and malnourished. Georgie is a good boy who needs to gain weight with several small meals a day and time to heal mentally and physically. In the short time he has been with us he has shown great potential. All that is needed is time. Take a moment and read his pupdate and you will see what a sweet boy Georgie is.
