About Jerry

Meet Jerry, a dynamic 2-year-old poodle mix with a knack for impressing anyone who meets him. Weighing in at 22 pounds, he’s a smart, energetic companion eager to please. Jerry shines in basic obedience and has even trained himself to ring a bell when he needs to go outside — impressive, right? Fetch is his favorite activity, where his excitement is truly contagious. He loves to play until he's worn out, but he's also all about learning new skills. With continued leash training, he’s sure to become an even better companion. However, Jerry does experience some separation anxiety and is still gaining confidence with crate time. He'd thrive in a household that offers patience and continuity. Jerry is a social dog who adores other pups and would thrive best in a multi-dog environment. He may be okay with cats if they're used to dogs, but be aware of his playful chase instinct. While he can get a bit mouthy during play, a home with children should supervise interactions to ensure everyone has a safe and fun time. This poodle mix has a beautiful curly coat, which requires regular grooming to stay mat-free. Though he sheds minimally, keeping his coat healthy is a commitment. If you’re looking for an active, fun-loving addition to your family, Jerry is ready to prove himself as the smartest and most devoted companion you could wish for. Ready to fall in love?
