Dakin Dog of the Month with Susan M. Miller     Name: Georgie Breed: Rottweiler X Sex: Female Age: 2 years Color: Black/Brown I was found stray in Petersham. I am a very sweet girl who is nervous around people who are strange to me. I warm up quickly once I know I am safe. I get along with other dogs, but need a home without cats. I am housetrained. I would do best in a fairly quiet adult home.    Get a free in-home consultation with Susan M. Miller when Georgie is adopted.
