🐾 MEET JERRY
Gentle husky mix looking for love, safety — and a home with his sister Janis

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hi, I’m Jerry — a soft, sweet husky mix with a quiet spirit and big brown eyes that reflect my hope for a brighter future. I didn’t have a lot of early exposure to people, so I can be fearful at first, but once I feel safe, I begin to show my playful and loving side.

I’m still very young and full of potential. With the help of a confident dog companion and a patient, understanding human, I know I’ll continue to blossom. I’m especially close with my sister Janis — we’re bonded and need to be adopted together. She brings me comfort and courage, and we love to play and relax side-by-side.

While I’m not quite ready for obedience training, I’ve been making great strides with crate training and learning to go outside to do my business. I know how to use a dog door and will go out independently once I know the space. Just a heads up: I’m a little rambunctious and have a history of getting into soft toys, so tough toys only for me, please.

Because of my timid nature, I’m not a good match for homes with children, but I’d do wonderfully in a calm, adult household with a fenced yard and another confident dog.

🐶 HOW AM I WITH DOGS:
I adore other dogs and love to play, especially with Janis! I do best with dogs who are kind and not too pushy. I can get a little protective of Janis, so slow introductions are best. Once comfortable, I’m joyful and goofy with my dog friends.

🐱 HOW AM I WITH CATS:
No cats, please — I’ve got a strong prey drive.

👶 HOW AM I WITH KIDS:
I’d do best in a home without children. Sudden movements and noise are overwhelming for me.

🧠MY TRAINING:
I respond to my name and I’m learning, sit and loose-leash walking!

This dog is part of FOHA’s Diamond Dog Program, which means they receive extra training support and guidance to help them succeed in a home. To learn more about the Diamond Dog Program, click here and scroll down!

🏠 MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING:
Crate trained and sleeps soundly overnight. I’m still learning housebreaking and may have accidents while settling into a new routine. I know how to use a dog door and prefer familiar outdoor environments.

💖 THINGS I LOVE:
My sister Janis • Gentle dog friends • Water play • Quiet spaces • Treats

🚫 THINGS I STRUGGLE WITH:
Loud noises • Strangers • Soft/stuffed toys (I tend to destroy them!)
