George - Black and Tan Coonhound

I hadn't been into the shelter for a couple of weeks so there were a lot of new dogs to take photos of and I wasn't able to spend as much time as I normally would with each dog but even still, in the time I did spend with George, he ate garbage out of a garbage can, tasted some dirty mop water, pulled up and chewed a piece of that black tarry road caulking and, of course, taste tested various chunks of dirt. He also knocked over a floor-is-wet sign and climbed up onto a table and pushed off all the magazines trying to get to some snacks.

George might be a bit of a scent obsessed nutbar but he is nevertheless one very nice dog. He's gentle when he takes offered snacks and he's super friendly and how can anyone not smile at a dog with ears as big as his head.

The best way to check on the adoption status of this dog (and other dogs and cats and other small domestic animals) is to visit Toronto Animal Services or call 416 338 6668 for the Toronto Animal Services South shelter.
