George AVAILABLE
Dalmatian Β· Female Β· Adult Β· 6 years
George is a charming 6-year-old Dalmatian, weighing approximately 31kg. He came into the care of Islay Dog Rescue through no fault of his own following a change in his family's circumstances. George is an incredibly affectionate dog who absolutely loves people and enjoys plenty of cuddles and fuss. He is happy to approach new people and readily accepts attention, making friends wherever he goes. He is a clever boy who already knows commands such as sit and paw, and he walks nicely on a lead, making him a wonderful walking companion. We have also been told that George is house trained. He enjoys his treats, which will make any ongoing training both enjoyable and rewarding. George has shown some nervousness around certain moving objects, such as walking sticks and large golf-style umbrellas. He is making good progress and would benefit from continued positive reinforcement and gentle desensitisation training to help build his confidence in these situations. With patience, encouragement, and consistent support, George is likely to become increasingly comfortable when encountering new experiences out and about. As we are unable to directly assess our dogs with children at the rescue, any recommendations regarding children are based on the dog's known history, observed behaviour, and the characteristics they have displayed while in our care. He has previously lived with another dog and, although he can be wary when meeting unfamiliar dogs, we believe that with careful introductions he could successfully live with a resident canine companion. George cannot live with cats or small animals.
