About Jerry

Meet Jerry! He arrived at the shelter with his brother Ben, and together they are navigating the journey to become well-rounded dogs. They’ve made significant progress, but they’re still figuring things out and are in search of a patient forever home that can provide a nurturing environment. Jerry and Ben are a bonded pair, so they need to be adopted together. They thrive in the company of other dogs and would greatly benefit from having a canine buddy at home to guide them. Toy playtime is their favorite way to bond, and they have lots of energy to burn. Once they get comfortable with you, they'll relish every moment spent by your side. A calm household would suit them best as they continue to learn essential skills with our Behavior Team. If you think you can offer love and a calm space for these two sweethearts, come meet Jerry and Ben today!
