A little about them

Jerry is a sweet, well-tempered Miniature Pinscher who has transitioned from life as an outdoor breeder dog to being a happy indoor companion. He enjoys sunning in the morning, afternoon naps, car rides, sofa snuggles, and fluffy blankets. Jerry may be adopted on his own, with other dogs or cats, or together with his brother, Tom.

Ideal Home

Jerry would love a family who will spoil him with affection and comfortable indoor living. He is quiet, low-maintenance, gets along with dogs and cats, and is suitable for a home with children. A fenced yard should be safely repaired before the home visit if needed.

Ongoing Health

Jerry is vaccinated, dewormed, defleaed, neutered, microchipped with lifetime registration, and on monthly heartworm prevention. His heartworm test was negative on 12/17/25.

Training & Support

Jerry is crate trained and does well in the house when kept on a schedule. He is continuing to work on leash training and building confidence.
