About Gerald

Meet Gerald. His story began with heartbreak, but it's time for it to end with the loving family he deserves. This sweet boy was found abandoned with his two canine siblings, all underweight and in need of care. Despite these challenges, Gerald has shown incredible kindness, trust, and resilience. His calm demeanor makes him an easy companion, and he appreciates gentle affection, especially from those who let him approach at his own pace. Though we don't have details about his life before arriving at the shelter, Gerald has proven to be relaxed and friendly with other dogs. Now that he’s gaining weight and receiving love, he’s ready for a home where he can feel safe and secure, where he won’t ever have to wonder about his next meal or being left behind again. If you seek a loyal companion with a heart full of love, Gerald could be the perfect match. He truly deserves a family to show him what forever means. If you wish to meet him, visit the Humane Society of Carroll County during suggested open adoption hours. Ensure you bring written consent from your property owner if you rent, and if you have another dog, a meet-and-greet is required before adoption. Click apply to start the adoption process.
