About Jerry

Meet Jerry. This brindle boy, around 4 years old, is a small fella weighing in at about 13 pounds. His unique looks have already captured hearts, and while he considers himself still a baby, he has so much love to give. Jerry is up to date on his vaccinations and preventatives, and he's also microchipped and neutered. He thrives with other dogs and settles in quietly at night, snoozing soundly in his kennel. He’s making progress with house training, and he'll need a patient family to guide him. Loud sounds, including the TV starting up, can unexpectedly frighten him, so he seeks a home that offers reassurance and understanding. His foster mom emphasizes that he needs to learn that he’s safe and loved. With the right family, Jerry can flourish into a wonderful companion. Jerry's adoption fee is $350, and he's currently fostered in Tomah, WI. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
