29/4/18 – George has found a home!

Gorgeous George is a beautiful Beauceron which is also known as a French Shepherd. Poor George was given to an elderly man by a former rescue, but sadly this man soon died. So George finds himself looking for a home with a younger, retired couple or family with teens and is currently in a foster home under the care of Animal Action Trust in Essex.

George is 7 years old, neutered and a very handsome boy. He is friendly, if a little aloof if he doesn’t know you, which is typical. He is good with all people and amazing with dogs he meets, just saying hello and moving on. He is not good with cats and will happily chase squirrels and other small furries.

George has loads of character and keeps everyone on their toes. Unfortunately, he loves his food which is good for training but not for the waistline, so he is currently being slimmed down. George loves his walks and is full of life. He needs an hour’s exercise in the morning.

George is currently in foster with a Labrador X and he does expect the same privileges and will try to sit on the sofa! He can live with another non-aggressive but assertive dog. George will chase a ball which needs to be encouraged as he will find other things to occupy himself with. He has been learning to keep an eye on his fosterer off-leash, achieved by playing hide-and-seek, otherwise he gets distracted with what goes on. He does walk well when it is demanded of him.

George needs help with his diet and does not need a treat-happy family, rather a disciplined family in both training and diet. In return, characterful George will be fun, challenging, exciting and keep you fit.

Beaucerons are very intelligent, resourceful, independent and hardy. One was used extensively in the Rescue work after The World Trade Centre Disaster. They have appeared in several well-known film sequences.
