A little about them
Jerry is a sweet, well-tempered 15-pound boy born April 16, 2018. He and his brother, Tom, were surrendered after their owner and breeder died, and they have transitioned beautifully from outdoor breeder dogs to indoor life. Jerry enjoys sunning himself, afternoon naps, car rides, sofa snuggles, and fluffy blankets.
Ideal Home
Jerry is quiet, low-maintenance, and gets along with his foster dogs. He may do well as an only dog, with other dogs, or with cats. He can be adopted on his own or with his brother, Tom.
Ongoing Health
Jerry is vaccinated, dewormed, defleaed, neutered, microchipped with lifetime registration, heartworm-negative as of December 17, 2025, and receiving monthly heartworm prevention.
