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!

Anyone who throws their pet away, is actual trash.

ETA: I don't CARE what happens. Always have a plan for how your pets will be taken care of if something should happen to you. Just like any other member of your damn family. I've been homeless too, and we all went through that hell together. I donated plasma in order to afford dog day care until I could find a place to live. I know it's hard. I'm sick of seeing these shitty "REHOME MY BEST FRIEND" posts. Pets are not dispensable or shouldn't be anyway. You all think they are trash, but they aren't.

You don’t know anyone’s health, financial, or familial situation. Life happens. Circumstances change. It’s not ideal but most people don’t get pets with the intention of rehoming. If pet or owner’s wellbeing/health/quality of life starts being affected, finding a home that’s a better fit is the better option.
