Orlando shelter's longest resident, George, hopes to find loving family to call his own

Orange County Animal Services is hoping to get their longest resident, George, adopted after spending more than 100 days at the shelter.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - Meet George. 

George has been at Orange County Animal Services for over 100 days, making him the longest resident at the shelter. The shelter staff said very few people have shown interest in him.

"We know he's healthy and strong, sweet, gentle, and incredibly intelligent (has figured out how to open the play yard gates). We know he can be dog selective, which simply means he gets along with some dogs, and with others he doesn't," the shelter said in a Facebook post.

George is estimated to be between 7 and 8 years old and was brought in as a stray. He's 50 pounds, healthy and strong, and absolutely loves people and treats, the shelter said.

It's not known how he is with cats or small animals.
