George's Story: George came into care for welfare reasons. Rescue Remedies offered a Rescue place saving his life. George is now neutered, chipped, and fully vaccinated. George came in to our Rescue Centre nr Gatwick whilst awaiting his new family.

If you are interested in rehoming one of our dogs, the first step is to complete and submit our ONLINE HOMING QUESTIONNAIRE. We do not discuss dogs without a homing questionnaire submission. You must be ready and we will only contact you if we have a suitable dog. For more detailed information, please see our Homing Process.

Please support our work and help our long stay dogs: Our minimum Adoption Donation is £250 (£400 for pup under 1 yr old). This supports our continuing rescue work and is non-refundable. We exist solely due to the goodwill and donations of our supporters and volunteers. Our dogs need supportive families who will offer them patience, time and tolerance whilst they settle in their new homes. Our Rescue offers all our dogs back-up for life.

Please note: Dog laws have changed, with zero public tolerance and prejudice against bull breeds and terriers in particular. Our Rescue asks new owners to keep their dog on a lead in public spaces and manage and support its encounters with new dogs and people, so as not to place the dog's life at risk. Destruction and Control Orders are commonplace nowadays.

George's progress through our Rescue is below.
We work with our dogs, who often reveal an evolving picture and positive skills as they build trust.

George is your typical staffie, a real friendly, fun, little guy. He made friends with everyone he met yesterday (especially Darren who he then wanted to follow around) He walks really well on the lead, wants to please and be involved with everything and is a wonderful canine companion.

Oh WOW!!

He is a gorgeous Hunka Chunka ... same colourings as my Rowan was

Oh my goodness me George has a smile that will knock you sideways he is sooooo beautiful, all he wants is to be with someone, doesn’t matter who he just wants to be with a friend I didn’t even walk George today but I wandered past and he had me, hook, line me sinker I had Sidley and they went nose to nose, not a flicker from either, both such amazing dogs

George was recommended to me today for a walk and I am glad he was. I was helped to get George out and harnessed which was a benefit as he managed to escape his inner door in his eagerness to say hello.

What a lovely boy! I was assuming older from the grey muzzle but if so George still has plenty of energy.

George seems small round and stocky boy, but he has a lovely little skip and hop which would appear as we avoided the muddiest bits of the wood. He set a good pace which suited me given we were waking alone and had no-one to wait for.

We had some pauses for sniffs as we made our way down to the river but kept an even brisk pace. It seemed as though George was determined to walk slightly ahead of me as though he felt he should be the leader when our direction and path was clear but he did also take direction if I chose to dictate a different route or there was a choice of path to be made.

Though I was uncertain if his little legs would get him on to the bridge he did not struggle at all.

We also stood as side for a child cyclist which didn’t bother George in the least.

We had a quiet walk not meeting any other people or dogs. After an enjoyable long loop of woodland, private road and public footpath we then detoured into the grassy heath area where George enjoyed sniffing and a little chewing of the long grass.

We finally made our way back and into the kennel where George patiently waited for me remove his harness and went to get himself a drink before returning to say a friendly goodbye with a couple of treats very gently taken.

I hope to meet George again soon, for another lovely walk.

Gorgeous George!! What a little poppet. I’d been keen to meet this little lad since I saw him in the dog mobile on the way to the emergency kennels. He’s been a popular boy since he’s been back but I did manage to fight off his admirers today and get a walk!
George gave me a beautiful staffy greeting in the Kennel and we headed out for a walk with his new friends cliff and milo.
George was just a delight. He trots along so calmly. Walking him was a real treat.

[Mon&Chris]

George has the best smile ever! He gave me a wonderful welcome this morning and was eager to get going. He walked at a nice pace and didn’t mind Rubytues (with Chris) tagging along behind us. He was very skilled at avoiding mud. He didn’t mind cars or bicycles – and didn’t try to chase birds either. If you want to make him happy, give him a bum scratch and he’ll start wagging his tail in appreciation. He’s absolutely adorable.

George is such an adorable dog! I love walking him and he loves meeting everyone – he gives everyone a beautiful smile. He’s very relaxed when walking and takes directions really well. In the video, you see him pausing as he was waiting for Chris with Rubytues and instead a jogger run past us, so he had a look but was fine.
I really hope he’ll find his forever sofa very very soon.
