About Terry

Meet Terry, a spirited young Terrier with a big heart and story to match. Just over a year old, Terry arrived after a tough start, healing from a broken pelvis with the aid of a permanent plate and screws. You might notice his occasional “hop-skip” as he bounces around, but it doesn’t slow him down. Every day, he gets stronger, proving that his past doesn’t define him. Timid at first, Terry thrives with patience and treats. Once he trusts you, he melts for ear scritches and relishes attention. Terry flourishes around other dogs and needs to join a home with at least one confident, energetic canine companion. Give him about a day to settle in, and you’ll find him integrating seamlessly. Cats are a hard no—he isn’t a fan and won’t share his turf with them. Despite the rocky beginnings, Terry is learning the ropes of house training, politely waiting at the door or using pads in a pinch. He feels safe in his crate and will chatter for your company, but his favorite place is snuggled up under blankets by your side. Fully neutered, current on vaccinations, and microchipped, Terry is ready to leave his difficult past behind and join a family that will see beyond his scars. He’s looking for a soft landing and someone willing to go slow, offer reassurance, and celebrate the little victories along the way. Start your journey together! Apply now.
