Hi folks, Jerry here!

I am an absolute gentleman in the house with my people. I am seriously the ‘goodest’ boy ever. I sleep through the night in my humans’ room, I always do my business outside, I run into my kennel when it’s time for them to go to work, I only chew on my toys and I love cuddles on the couch.

I lacked socialization time as a puppy. This means I am very unsure when I see other people and doggies on my walks.My humans know I will like them but, at first, I don’t come across that way and then people just see a big loud dog.

I need an experienced and patient owner who understands that this scary thing of “new” takes time for me to handle.

I live with an older cat in my foster home who moves at just the pace that works for me — slow!

My foster mom suggests that any future cat-mate of mine should be dog savvy. The run/chase game is a fun one!, but I don’t do anything other than lick them.

I should have a slow introduction to any dogs that I am to live with or have as friends. But once I am comfortable, I am very respectful and playful. I do spend time at doggie daycare and I love it. I just need to remember my manners.

I know I sound like a lot, but my ‘goods’ do out weigh the ‘work’, I just need patience and love. And boy, will I ever love you back!
