George, formerly known as Utah, was rescued from Lancaster, South Carolina in 2025. At just six months old, he was facing euthanasia when rescue stepped in and gave him a second chance. He came into rescue FULL of puppy energy with absolutely no idea what to do with himself. Today, George is the most loving, easy-going dog I could ask for. He makes everyone smile and gives the absolute best hugs. From a puppy running out of time to a dog who brings so much happiness everywhere he goes, George is what rescue is all about.
