George

Male · Adult · 6 years

Age: 6 years Weight: 25 kg George is an Alpine shepherd dog who came to us in spring after being hit by a car. His owner gave him up - he couldn't take care of him exactly when he needed it most. George was left alone, with major injuries to his body and soul. Today his wounds have healed, although the scars on his back will remain forever and are a reminder of what he has overcome. From originally a frightened dog who didn't believe whether people would hurt him, he has become a grateful, nice and cheerful companion. He slowly started to trust people again and loves his caregivers at the shelter. George knows how to sit and gives a paw - even though with his short legs it's actually a bit of a puzzle. Sometimes you won't even realize if he is standing, sitting, or already lying down - everything looks exactly the same! 😀 In the run, he is clean, doesn't破坏 anything and likes to play. He can entertain himself with a toy even alone in the run, but he is happiest when there is a person with him. On a leash, he goes to the bathroom and walks with everyone without any problems. With other dogs, he is usually neutral, his tolerance can be tested individually. Due to his difficult past and previous injuries, we do not recommend him for small children - he can walk with them, but handling around his body must be careful, respectful and with trust (e.g., putting on clothes, wiping his belly). George needs a family that will love him completely, with all his scars and the story behind them, and show him that love can be safe and lasting, no matter what happens. Whether an apartment or a house? It doesn't matter to him. He will be happy to have a home. If you are looking for a loyal partner who has a huge heart and the desire to belong somewhere again, George is waiting for you. If his story has caught your attention, please fill out the adoption questionnaire and we will get back to you.

Věk: 6 let Váha: 25 kg George je alpský jezevčíkovitý brakýř, který se k nám dostal na jaře poté, co ho srazilo auto. Jeho majitel se ho vzdal – nedokázal se o něj postarat právě ve chvíli, kdy to nejvíc potřeboval. George tak zůstal sám, s obrovským zraněními na těle i v duši. Dnes už jsou jeho rány zahojené, i když jizvy na zádech mu zůstanou napořád a jsou připomínkou toho, co dokázal překonat. Z původně vystrašeného pejska, který nevěřil, zda mu lidé neublíží, se u nás stal vděčný, milý a veselý společník. Pomalu zase začal lidem důvěřovat a své ošetřovatele v útulku miluje. George umí sedni a dá i pacičku – i když u jeho krátkých nožek je to vlastně trochu hádanka. Někdy ani nepoznáte, jestli stojí, sedí, nebo už rovnou leží – všechno vypadá úplně stejně! 😀 V kotci je čistotný, nic neničí a rád si hraje. Dokáže se zabavit s hračkou i sám v kotci, ale nejšťastnější je, když má u sebe člověka. Na vodítku chodí na jedničku a procházky zvládá se všemi bez problémů. Se psy je většinou neutrální, jeho snášenlivost můžeme vyzkoušet individuálně. Kvůli jeho těžší minulosti a prodělaným zraněním ho nedoporučujeme k malým dětem – procházky s nimi zvládá, ale manipulace kolem těla musí být opatrná, s respektem a důvěrou (např. nasazování oblečku, otírání bříška). George potřebuje rodinu, která ho bude milovat celého, se všemi jeho jizvami i příběhem, který za nimi stojí, a ukáže mu, že láska může být bezpečná a trvalá, ať se děje cokoliv. Zda byt nebo domek? Na tom mu nezáleží. On bude šťastný, že má domov. Pokud hledáte věrného parťáka, který má obrovské srdce a touhu znovu někam patřit, George na vás čeká. Pokud vás jeho příběh zaujal, prosíme o vyplnění adopčního dotazníku a my vás budeme zpětně kontaktovat.

About George

What life with George looks like

George is a large adult dog waiting at Útulek Dogsy in Czech Republic.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇨🇿Adopting from Czech Republic

Czech shelters (útulky) include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID. The adopter signs a written contract (smlouva) — the shelter may follow up to verify wellbeing.

Frequently asked

Adopting George, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about George?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Útulek Dogsy handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw George on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt George if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Útulek Dogsy will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is George already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if George isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Útulek Dogsy early rather than rehoming privately; they know George and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (CS). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
