This handsome chap is Jerry who is a 10-month-old entire male.
Jerry has not had the best start in life, he was bought as a puppy but spent most of his life locked in a conservatory until neighbours found out and persuaded the owner to release him.
Jerry is underweight (29kg) and lacks muscle because he has been kept confined, but his carer has changed his diet, upped his food and he is now getting two good walks a day as well as being able to run around a large garden.
Jerry is not very food orientated and is only just learning to play with toys, learning from the other dog in residence.
When he first arrived in his carers home, Jerry was scared of her teenage son and just tried to get away from him. After 2 weeks though he has accepted him and is starting to interact with him although remains scared of other teenage males.
His carer would love to keep him but she returns to full-time work again at the end of the school holidays which means Jerry would be on his own again for long periods.
Jerry is strong on the lead and requires further training, he does not like cats either and they are having to keep their cat away from him. His recall was not so good but is improving thanks to his carer.
Jerry is living with a 3year old Welsh terrier, they play rough but when the terrier has had enough, he lets Jerry know and he backs off.
So Jerry would be best in a home where there are not lots of teenage males but he is OK with older men and all women. He has met young children with whom he was fine but he may be better in a home with older children because of his size and lack of training.
Jerry could live with another dog, he gets on with most other dogs although he will occasionally bark but in a playful way.
Jerry is a fantastic dog and whoever adopts him, he will bond with quickly and they will have a friend for life. He just needs someone with a bit of patience and understanding who is prepared to give him further training and the life he has missed out on so far.
Are you the one for Jerry?
