More about George Youngster

George Youngster is a 7 year old dachshund and chihuahua mix (chi-weenie).  He is black and tan and weighs 12 pounds.  George came to Diamond Dachshund Rescue with his daddy (Skipper Drei) and sister (Princess Emerald) after his beloved human dad passed away.  While that was a big change, George has shown everyone just want a resilient, sweet soul he is. George is a very low -key, affectionate companion who loves nothing more than resting right beside you and soaking up scratches,  He is calm, gentle and genuinely happy, one of those dogs who just makes a room feel warmer.  He gets along great with other dogs in his foster home.  He lives happily alongside another small dog and while they don't rough-house or play, they coexist peacefully and comfortably.  Potty training? Completely handled.  George will bark at the door to let you know when he needs to go out. no accidents in the house.  He also loves his walks. The moment he spots his harness he transforms into a puppy again, tail wagging, ready to go.  Once outside he is gentleman, no pulling, no reactivity, just an easy, enjoyable stroll.  George sleeps on his dog bed and is happy there, but he absolutely appreciates being invited onto the couch or big bed for some qualilty cuddle time; he's just prefers to do his actual sleeping in his own cozy spot.  He is wonderful with all humans; adults and kids alike, no exceptions.  Bath time is a non-issue and he is enthusiastic about treats. George would thrive in a clam home where someone is around to give him company and the occasional scratch session.  A home with another mellow dog would be a bonus, though not a requirement. We don't have information on cats since his foster home doesn't have any.
