Meet Jerry
Jerry is a sweet, stocky little beagle boy looking for a patient home where he can blossom at his own pace. At about 2 years old and 25.4 pounds, Jerry came to rescue as a breeder release, so the big wide worldand especially peopleare still a little new to him. He has tested negative for heartworm and will be neutered and microchipped before traveling. Jerry will need his booster vaccines on March 30 and will be ready to travel to Seattle after receiving them.
Jerry is naturally timid, particularly when people are standing. But when his foster kneels down or sits on the ground, his curiosity takes over and he'll slowly walk up to say hello. With a little time, patience, and kindness, Jerry shows that he truly wants to connecthe just needs to feel safe first.
What Jerry does love right away? Other dogs! He feels much more confident when he has canine friends around, and he enjoys spending time with them. Because of this, Jerry will need a home with another friendly, confident dog who can help show him the ropes and build his confidence.
Jerry has been making adorable progress in foster care. He recently learned how to climb up the steps onto the couch, although getting down is still a bit of a mysteryso he sometimes just sort of rolls off, stands up, and looks around to make sure he's okay. It's as cute as it sounds.
When it comes to toys, Jerry prefers the quieter kind. He likes to carry around a crinkle toy, but squeaky toys are still a bit too scary for him right now.
Jerry's perfect home will be calm, patient, and understanding, with another dog to guide him and people who will let him build trust at his own speed. With time, love, and gentle encouragement, this shy little guy has all the potential to become a deeply loyal and affectionate companion.
If you're the kind of person who believes the best relationships are built slowly and with trust, Jerry might just be your perfect match.
Please note: Our rescue is foster-based and cannot hold dogs for future adoption due to travel, home renovations, or schedule changes. Adopters must be prepared to welcome their new companion within a reasonable timeframe.
We do our best to ensure every dog is as healthy and prepared as possible, but we ask adopters to understand that rescue dogs may need time to decompress and adjust. They are not perfect they are simply in need of patience, understanding, and a second chance.
