Meet Georgia the Dog: Ready To Play, Ready To Bond

Georgia is a happy-go-lucky girl with a pretty red coat and a super brain. She picks tricks up in a snap and always wants to learn more. (In fact, check out Georgia's starring role with C.A.R.E.'s Junior Volunteers in a YouTube clip called "Are You Smarter Than a Shelter Dog?")

Playful and energetic, Georgia is also affectionate and loves to chill out with her people and a chew toy. 

Georgia's ideal home would include dog-experienced adults or older kids who can help her channel her intelligence and enthusiasm. Because she's so intensely interested in everything, Georgia can sometimes get overstimulated and a little goofy. But once she has proper guidance and a calm leader, Georgia relaxes into a fun, rewarding companion who'll always put a smile on your face.
