Gerald, or Jerry as he's sometimes called, stands out for his mix of short and long ears and his unmistakable basset hound build. He's a bit on the stout side right now and never says no to a snack. Petting is high on his list of favorite things and he bonds well with people he trusts. He does pull some when walking on a leash, so he'll need someone patient, or even better, a home with a large fenced yard for safe roaming and daily strolls. Gerald has striking eyes and those classic long hound ears that add extra character. While he’s friendly with Buzz, another dog at the shelter, Gerald doesn’t get along with other dogs or small children—he’ll do best as the only pet in an adults-only home. At around 45-55 lbs, he’s house trained and ready for the right fit. Ready to make Gerald your new best friend? Start your journey together! Apply now.
