Coach Jorge’s dog looking for a home, temporary or forever?

We have an update from Lil that Coach Jorge is walking around and sitting and feeling much better. He had a screw put into his hip, not a full replacement, so were hopeful for a speedier recovery. His wife is working on getting a special visa to visit.

He has messaged Liz, who has been hosting his dog, saying that he would not be able to care for him and he should be returned to the shelter.

Before we take that step, we’re asking if any of you might consider adopting — most probably forever, but suppose there’s a possibility that he would return to Jorge.

Liz says:

He seems to be about 5-6mos old & is mostly housetrained (if he gets excited he pees & he doesn't always ask to go out, but will hold it if you let him out regularly). We have socialized him with new dogs & people & although he is a little nervous, he absolutely loves everyone!! He is learning to sit, sleeps through the night, and is a pretty good boy! He is really cute and I don't think he will grow to be very big, he will probably be under 20lbs.

Please let us know!
