George, a Rescue Dog: Week Two
George is a 10 year old toy poodle mix, who was dumped by his owners at the Baytown Animal Shelter. He was found there by Lou Sisk, and Holly Dool found him rescue with the Blind Dog Rescue Alliance. I’m fostering George and updating his story to show that rescue dogs straight from the shelter make wonderful pets.

George was originally scheduled to leave on a transport from Houston to Virginia this past Saturday. But after he had a really rough time on Thursday night, we decided to postpone his transport for a week or two, until he has time to get better.
Since I figured out that chicken is my ticket to George taking his pills, he’s been taking 75% of his medicines, and I’ll take that! He’s a stubborn little guy about those pills. Even on just 75% of the medicine, his cough is so much better. He’s still coughing but not that awful, hard cough. His cough is suppressed a bit and he’s getting more rest.
I’ve been trying to give George chewy things to help his teeth, but he hasn’t been interested. Last night, he took his first treat from me! Rabbit jerky (ugh).
