About Jerry

Jerry is one of two sweet Chihuahua mix puppies looking for a loving foster home. He and his brother, Tom, were found abandoned in Puerto Rico, but they are resilient little guys. Now, they’re ready for a life filled with warmth and care. These playful pups love to snuggle and aren’t overly demanding. Both have friendly personalities and enjoy human companionship. While we can only guess their future size, it seems they might grow to between 16-20 lbs as adults, based on their petite mama, who weighs about 10 to 15 pounds. Jerry gets along beautifully with other dogs, cats, and children, making him a charming addition to any family. He is unaltered, but his vaccinations are up to date, ensuring he’s healthy for his new adventure. Let’s help rewrite Jerry’s story from one of abandonment to one filled with love and safety. If you can foster Jerry and Tom or are interested in adopting them, reach out today! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
