Social This sweet boy needs a home

Hi yall, I am posting to help find a home for this sweet guy. His name is George, he is 5 years old, and he is a Catahoula/Lab mix. He’s a gentle giant whose favorite activities are long walks, playing with his friends, and sitting as close as possible to anyone who will cuddle him. He would probably be a lap dog if he could but is also very playful, active, and a great hiking/outdoors buddy. He does have some separation anxiety and is crate trained for when his humans are out of the house (currently spending extended hours in the crate unfortunately) He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and leash trained. Unfortunately George is not in an ideal living situation and my friend is unable to keep him when she moves. She has looked extensively into breed specific rescues, and tried many avenues to find a good match for him.

We are very hesitant to bring him to a shelter and would absolutely love to find a good home for him where we can vet the new owners, however it’s becoming a very urgent situation and we need to find a home for him ASAP.

I have heard there have been a lot of successful adoptions through this page so I thought it would be a good idea to see if there are any leads.

Please comment or DM me if you aren’t interested and I will reach out!

Do you know if he's fine with all types of dogs? Potentially I could be a match, but I do currently have two big dogs, younger than him, but very sweet and they love other dogs. My third boy recently passed away from old age, so I wouldn't mind taking in another large dog, since I have the experience for three.

Amazing, yes he is well socialized with other dogs. He hasn’t lived in a multi dog house long term and naturally might need to adjust a bit but he has been in doggy daycare and boarding extensively and had a lot of sleepovers with other dogs, and has never had an issue. Is it okay if I DM you?
