George is a year and a half old male Great Dane. He has been with UMGDR since February and awaiting a third surgery. George is the most lovable, sweet Dane you will ever meet. George activities include sunbathing and snuggling. He spends most of his time following around his foster family or lounging with the other foster Dane. His best asset is his belly and he frequenting shows it off at events but rolling around on his back waiting for a belly rub. His three favorite things in the world are; his femur bone filled with peanut butter, chasing cats, and wrestling with his foster dad. George’s one wish is to be able to run freely at the dog park with all his other Dane buddies.

From the day that George was surrendered he was displaying a hyperextend back leg, and a unusual gate. While in our care George has had several consultations to determine what is wrong with his back legs. George has had two surgeries on his right leg last week; a TPLO procedure to repair his torn cranial cruciate and meniscus, and a second surgery to repair a fracture and adjust the plate that was moved post-surgery. He has a third surgery to repair an Osteochonrosis (OCD) lesion and the torn cruciate ligament. He UMGDR needs to raise the funds before George can have his third, and hopefully final surgery. He needs $5,000.00 for the final two procedures’. We are a non-profit organization funded by donations. Please consider donating to help a Dane in need.
