Vern is a gentle, shy, one-year-old mixed breed terrier in Sanford, FL. He warms up slowly but once he trusts you, he’s steady company. With the right family—someone who can offer patience and positive encouragement—Vern will come out of his shell. His demeanor is calm, and he takes treats carefully from your hand. Leash walks are easy with him; he doesn’t pull or fuss. Vern weighs around 39 pounds and comes neutered and up-to-date on vaccines, so he’s ready to go home as soon as you are. He is reported to be house trained, but, like many shelter dogs, some adjustment time in a new home may be needed. Vern would thrive with adopters who appreciate both his sweetness and need for reassurance. Stop by the shelter and see if Vern is the one for your family. Click apply to start the adoption process.
