George Button

SWEET DREAMS PRECIOUS BOY (3.12.2017)

On 4th December, a distraught Ali wrote “And so it was that our precious George decided yesterday that he’d had enough and we helped him to the Bridge with peace and dignity in his bed in front of the fire.

Rescued aged 11yrs, through IRR, he had 3 and a half years ago (we were only meant to be fostering!) from a not so great life to running in fields with us and our other dogs. One of his more famous exploits was approaching a group of children enjoying a picnic and slowly but very determinedly stealing a bag of scotch eggs and waddling back to me with them.

An absolute legend who we will miss beyond measure.

Sweet dreams G man – you were so loved x”

HISTORY

In 2014, we met George, a beautifully polite 11 year old gentleman surrendered to IRR by his owners whose circumstances changed meaning they couldn’t give him the time he deserved.

FOSTERER REPORT

George was fostered in Dorset. His foster told us “George is a delightful boy – he gets on very well with other dogs, loves his walks and doesn’t pull on the lead.

George (once called Navie) thoroughly enjoys a game with his tennis ball and even at 11 can get to it quicker than his fosterer’s younger dogs!

He’s fine with cats, is not greedy with food and takes treats gently. He would love to be in a home where his owners are in for much of the time to give him plenty of attention.

August 2014

George fell on all four paws. His fosterer fell in love with him and joined the ranks of Failed Fosterers so George was staying put with Ali in his Forever Home.
