Jericho's Story

Jericho #13497 <br/><br/>Jericho is a sensitive boy who just needs a little patience to truly shine. Originally adopted from us in 2023, he has sadly found his way back after struggling with chewing in the home-but with structure and guidance, he has so much potential to thrive again.<br/>He may seem shy and a bit standoffish in his kennel, but if you approach him slowly, he warms up quickly and shows his sweet side. Outside, Jericho is gentle, affectionate, and easy to handle once he feels safe.<br/>Jericho walks well overall but may pull a bit on leash, and he shows friendly interest in other dogs. He knows "sit," though he may need help focusing in busy environments.<br/>While he has been in our care, the medical team has noticed he has off and on lameness in both hind legs. It has been discovered that both knees may need orthopedic attention. We are unable to address his knees any further other than to provide the necessary medication for his comfort. Jericho will need a primary veterinarian and/or an orthopedic consult to fully diagnose his knees.<br/>Jericho would do best with a patient, experienced adopter who can help him build confidence and provide enrichment. Underneath it all, he's a loving, loyal boy just waiting for the right person to give him another chance.
