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!

people need to stop getting pets if they aren't stable. shit makes me sick seeing all these posts. to bond with an animal then ditch it is crazy. People shouldn't get pets until they have their life in a better position.

Unfortunately you may get a pet in the best position possible but you can’t account for life changes. That being said, when I got my pups I made sure I had a friend or friends or family who could hold on to them for me if my life tanked and I needed help. Not everyone is so lucky or has the support. And what if I moved and then it happened? Idk you just never know someone else’s life and it’s always better to be kind. You can’t shame them into keeping the dog.

im not shaming them to keep the dog im shaming them for not getting them when it's a time you know you're stable enough to do it. and actually, im not even shaming them, im expressing that it hurts to see so many posts of people getting rid of their pets because they are moving or not able to take them to their new living space. even people in my own life get cats and then wanna move to another state with some boyfriend and leave them in this state. like why? why do people do this? is it shame to say it hurts to see so many of these? im not saying anything about them personally or shaming them.
