My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Gerard is the goodest boy in foster care!

This beautiful king just entered foster care and to say he's been surpassing expectations would be an understatement. Young Gerard is adjusting to the home wonderfully, he's getting along really well with the resident large dog in the home and he's also had positive interactions with the 2 small dog residents as well!

Gerard walks together with his large dog foster roommate and they've been really doing well! In the home, he's great about entertaining himself with toys and keeps away from non toy items such as shoes. He's respectful about their stuff!

Gerard definitely has a lot of pep in his step, he loves playtime and just being true to his silly and goofy self. This means he would likely be well suited for a home with older kids who can keep up with a big, funny boy like Gerard!

The crate training is underway, Gerard is making great progress so far in his journey in learning! Overall, he's a sweet, social boy with a silly personality and a handsome face to match!

To meet Gerard, please first submit an adoption application, once received we'll contact you to schedule a meeting!
