🐾 MEET JERRY
Gentle husky mix looking for love, safety — and a home with his sister Janis
ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hi, I’m Jerry — a soft, sweet husky mix with a quiet spirit and big brown eyes that reflect my hope for a brighter future. I didn’t have a lot of early exposure to people, so I can be fearful at first, but once I feel safe, I begin to show my playful and loving side.
I’m still very young and full of potential. With the help of a confident dog companion and a patient, understanding human, I know I’ll continue to blossom. I’m especially close with my sister Janis — we’re bonded and need to be adopted together. She brings me comfort and courage, and we love to play and relax side-by-side.
While I’m not quite ready for obedience training, I’ve been making great strides with crate training and learning to go outside to do my business. I know how to use a dog door and will go out independently once I know the space. Just a heads up: I’m a little rambunctious and have a history of getting into soft toys, so tough toys only for me, please (I’ve needed surgery in the past!).
Because of my timid nature, I’m not a good match for homes with children, but I’d do wonderfully in a calm, adult household with a fenced yard and another confident dog.
🐶 HOW AM I WITH DOGS:
I adore other dogs and love to play, especially with Janis! I do best with dogs who are kind and not too pushy. I can get a little protective of Janis, so slow introductions are best. Once comfortable, I’m joyful and goofy with my dog friends.
🐱 HOW AM I WITH CATS:
No cats, please — I’ve got a strong prey drive.
👶 HOW AM I WITH KIDS:
I’d do best in a home without children. Sudden movements and noise are overwhelming for me.
🧠 I KNOW THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS:
I’m still working on confidence and haven’t started formal training yet — but I’m smart, observant, and eager to learn when the time is right.
🏠 MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING:
Crate trained and sleeps soundly overnight. I’m still learning housebreaking and may have accidents while settling into a new routine. I know how to use a dog door and prefer familiar outdoor environments.
💖 THINGS I LOVE:
My sister Janis • Playful dog friends • Water play • Quiet spaces • Treats from trusted hands • Safe hidey spots • Exploring the yard
🚫 THINGS I STRUGGLE WITH:
Loud noises • Strangers • Soft/stuffed toys (I tend to destroy them!) • Fences under 6 feet — I’m a jumper!
