About Jermaine

Jermaine belonged to a feral group known as the Jackson Five, scraping by on their own until rescue found them hungry and wary. Since then, Jermaine has made steady but slow progress—he’s not fully there yet as a confident family dog and still requires plenty of patience and gentle care. Right now, he’s considered part of the sanctuary while work continues with his rehabilitation. Underneath the uncertainty, he’s a beautiful young dog with potential waiting to show. Jermaine gets along with other dogs, so with time and compassion, he could fit into a home with canine companions. He needs someone willing to give him the space and attention to heal at his own pace. Fun fact: Jermaine’s birthday is February 14th, which makes him an Aquarius—a sign often known for independence and resilience. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
