    Please meet George who is a 9 year old male Terrier Cross dog we think there may be some Yorkie or Cairn in there somewhere. George is on foster in Bracknell Berkshire.

    George - Terrier X - Hope Rescue George

    Sadly, George is not very photogenic and the photos don’t do him justice. He is very small and very cute. At some point he has had an injury to his left ear which has left it a little smaller than the other one – but it gives him a very quizzical look as the other ear sticks upright. George says it’s called character.

    George - Terrier X - Hope Rescue George2

    George sleeps all night in his own bed, without a murmur. He has tried a couple of forays onto Foster Mum’s bed, but as he snores and parps in his sleep, the evil witch (sorry foster mum) has decided he is better off in his own bed! George says snoring and parping is called character.

    He is clean in the house and will ask to go outside. He is fine to be left for a couple of hours a day and is non-destructive. His appetite is very good. He does not go a whole bundle on treats, but is starting to take a bit of carrot now and then, and will never turn down a bit of snack a jack!

    George - Terrier X - Hope Rescue George4

    He is good on walks and trots along at his own pace. He has met other dogs and horses, and while he has shown interest, he’s not overly bothered in saying hello. He’s been down the stables and enjoyed snuffling around at the new smells, and wasn’t fazed by the horses. He hasn’t been tested with cats but has learnt in his foster home not to chase the Guinea Pigs!

    He is slightly deaf, so you have to raise your voice to get his attention. He will do sit and beg, haven’t tried a down yet, but have a feeling he won’t do it, like most terriers.

    George - Terrier X - Hope Rescue George3

    George does have a slight heart murmur but this does not require medication as yet, he also has mild cataracts, is slightly deaf and has been treated for a slight flea allergy.

    He is quite an unassuming little chap in the house and is happy with his own company; although that does not stop him launching himself at you for a cuddle and tickle. He will sit up in a beg to have his tummy rubbed.

    He would be happy as an only dog or with a chilled out companion. He would suit almost any family, but an older retired couple who can spend all day with him would be idea. Also, someone with older children, he may find younger children a bit much.

    George - Terrier X - Hope Rescue George5

    George is a character but he is also a distinguished older gentleman (he paid me to say that instead of scruffy mutt) that has been overlooked for too long now and I have made it my mission to find him his own sofa to snore and parp on and his own family to chat to and launch cuddles onto.

    George - Terrier X - Hope Rescue George6

    All Hope Rescue dogs are neutered, vaccinated, wormed, flea treated and microchipped prior to rehoming. A homecheck will be required, and you will need to come and meet the dog with your own dogs and family. Hope Rescue rehomes throughout the UK.

    If you are interested in George a Pre-Home Interest Form can be downloaded from www.hoperescue.org.uk and should be returned to dogs@hoperescue.org.uk

    What an absolute little darling, you can see the 'cheeky' streak in his eyes. Is it ok to look through our adoption request forms & if we have anyone that fits his 'slave' requirements to ask them to look at him?

    If you could do that would be above and beyond my expectations. I am determined to find this boy his sofa. I thought he would fly out the door .... but 3 staffies went before him which is unheard of.

    George is still looking Crying or Very sad let down by me being laid up in bed with a cold and not fighting his corner every step of the way! BUT I am back!

    George has moved foster home to Basingstoke through no fault of his own ... he was meant to be the "quick turnover" type foster. His new foster home has sumbitted an fresh assessment for George and wow ... he has come on leaps and bounds in the time he's been with Hope and he NEEDS to find his own home!

    His write up now includes ....Loves company, and being around people and dogs in general. Even though he is between 8-10 years old he is still very active and loves his walks. We think he would suit an active couple/person or family as he does love being around people. He has a superb personality and is a very happy and loving dog who just wants to be cuddled and fussed over. His recall will need some work, so this will need to be taken into consideration, although we do know he recognises his name as he comes to it when called in the home/garden etc. Also would get on well with other family dogs as long as they are not too rough and playsome.

    George was wondering if he changed his name to something "Hip and Trendy" like Dizzee Rascal or Justin Timberlake he wouldn't get overlooked ... George is worried that George is a grumpy old man name and that is why he is overlooked? It's not his looks, he knows that, cos a he's a handsome russet coloured trendy young man (damn he paid me again not to say scruffy mutt AGAIN!).

    Reports from his foster home confirm that George doesn't put a foot wrong and is a pleasure to foster but they still feel that George deserves a forever home as he has plenty of to offer to a family of his own.

    He is still looking though Sad

    He looks absolutely wonderful..

George - Terrier X - Hope Rescue 556819 that someone here falls in love as he sounds such a delight..Gorgie boy hows that for his new name.

    George is still looking and has NO interest at all and I have no idea why. He really is a different dog from the one that came in and is desperate for a family.

    I can send you the interest form if you wish? Its not a commitment at all but would allow the rehomer and fosterer to see if you would be a match? Smile

    Thank you for your help Jackie (again) - I will definitely keep you informed of how my request goes along, especially as it was on your Rescue forum that I heard about George. I have been contacted directly by Hope Rescue, via email, and am waiting now for the next step - will have to go to the gym now as I have so much nervous energy and couldn't sleep last night - Headbasher

    Very Happy I had a home-check yesterday evening and I have been told this morning that it was successful pending the neighbours getting their fenced repaired (we are going to do a temporary, but solid, repair). So am now waiting to arrange a visit from George with his foster mum - am so happy, but apprehensive in case he doesn't want to live with us!!!!! No

    Gorgeous George says he would love to live with you and that chicken wire will suffice for the time being (unofficially)

    THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO much for looking at George AND offering him a home. I can't tell you how chuffed I am.

    Look forward to pics (and George promises not to parp too much)

    Hi All - an update - George is coming to us this Sunday!! I received a phone call from his foster mum today and had another lovely chat with her. I can't believe it and am hitting the pet shops tomorrow to get all the essentials. Hubby and I have just repaired the fence, so he won't be escaping. Will get back to you next week to let you know how things are going
