About Gerald

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Gerald is a senior boy who lived his whole life in a dog pen lonely and neglected. He was surrendered to us during the recent ice storm. While he is elderly, he deserves a pampered final chapter. Gerald needs to be an only dog as he has never had to interact with others. We know there is a family for him.
