A little about them

Meet Georgette and Firecracker, a deeply bonded mother-and-son pair seeking a home where they can grow old together. They are incredibly sweet, affectionate, and happiest by your side. They enjoy gentle strolls, love attention, and are wonderful with dogs, cats, and children.

Georgette is an 11-year-old, 7-pound senior with chronic degenerative valve disease and bilateral luxating knees. She needs a slower-paced lifestyle with limited exercise and receives weekly physical therapy. Her mobility loss has caused incontinence, expected to be lifelong.

Firecracker is beginning to develop similar mobility concerns, though they are progressing more slowly. His family should be prepared to monitor his mobility as he ages. Despite their physical limitations, both dogs are gentle and loving, and their special bond is central to their care.
