Story
Meet Jericho and Jagger— 2-year-old brothers with matching soulful eyes and big, gentle hearts. These boys have spent their early years without much human interaction, so the world is still a new and sometimes overwhelming place for them. But together, they find comfort, confidence, and courage.Jericho is the braver of the two, often leading the way with cautious curiosity, while Jagger tends to hang back, watching his brother for reassurance. They’ve come a long way since arriving at the shelter, slowly learning to trust, accept affection, and even enjoy the occasional tail-wagging moment of play.Because they were never properly socialized, Max and Moose will need a very special home—one that’s calm, patient, and experienced with shy or fearful dogs. A quiet environment with a secure yard and lots of love will go a long way in helping these brothers continue their journey. They may never be the life of the party, but they will be incredibly loyal companions to the person who sees their potential and gives them the time and space they need to bloom.
