Adopter George

Shih Tzu · Mâle · Senior · 9 ans

George was born in November 2015 and has been at Windyway since March 2019 following the death of his original owner. Her son attempted to look after George but a social worker intervened when he couldn't cope and kept George tied up in the kitchen. George absolutely adores his squeaky toys but can get over excited and get a bit rough and mouthy which, coupled with a dislike of other dogs, can make him challenging to take out. He is quite a character and needs a very experienced adopter who can manage his behaviour and who wouldn't want long walks or to socialise with other dogs. He would need to be the only pet in the home and can not live with children. He is good to be groomed with care. George needs very careful handling and so we will need to be certain that whoever adopts him has understood how to manage him and is up to the challenge. He has been returned from adoption previously due to snapping at people and dogs he met on walks. George is neutered, chipped, vaccinated and kept up to date with flea and worm control. He also has a condition called short ulna syndrome which affects his elbows and he's on anti inflammatory medication for this. He does sometimes go lame on his back legs but the vet thinks this is as a result of putting more emphasis on them when his elbows hurt. He is on regular medication and joint supplements. In the last few months of 2025 George has begun to mellow a little, becoming more open to being introduced to new people. However the original criteria of a child and pet free home still stands. Applicants will be considered on the basis of their home environment (no children or other animals) and we will also need an excellent vet reference or prior home check report from ourselves or another reputable rescue organisation. If veterinary fees would be the stumbling block please do still enquire as there may be support available at the discretion of the Windyway Trustees.
