About Jerry

That's me—Jerry—and my actual superpower is making people smile. Jerry is the kind of dog who turns heads on the sidewalk and makes strangers cross the street just to ask his name (he’s always happy to say hi). He truly loves everyone—absolutely everyone. When you meet him, it feels like you’ve known him for years. Don’t let the fact that Jerry has just three legs fool you: he’s surprisingly fast and agile, and not the least bit slowed down by it. His foster mom has watched him zip around the house and hasn’t seen him have a single accident—fully potty trained and knows exactly how to ask to go out. He’s settled into new places easily, making himself at home anywhere. He’s even spent weekend visits with the grandparents and instantly played the perfect houseguest. At the office, Jerry’s a quiet, respectful coworker in the mornings and a steady companion, never rowdy or fussy on car rides. Jerry is open to any affection, from hugs and kisses to being picked up or suited up for chilly mornings. At night, he’ll curl up on the couch and sleep peacefully until you’re up—no fuss, no noise. He lives for time outside, whether it’s a beach day or a snowy adventure. Jerry might be a senior, but his energy and devotion have no age. He’s waiting to meet you, ready for his next chapter as your best friend. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
