Jerry

Update on adoptable Jerry<br/><br/>After spending more time with Jerry and talking to a few potential adopters, we are definitely requiring another small, playful, friendly dog and a fenced yard. This pup is still very skittish and runs when you reach for him. He is small, quick, and can be hard to catch. He cannot be let loose - he will run and hide. he has no recall. Putting him on a leash and walking him will be difficult (at first), which will hinder his potty training, confidence development, etc. A fenced yard with a K9 pal to show him the ropes will keep him on the right track with training and development AND will give him the confidence to grow into a cool pup.<br/>Previous post (age and weight edited):<br/><br/>Meet Jerry! <br/>Jerry is 9 weeks old and is ready for a forever family.<br/>Jerry is a Maltese/Chihuahua mix. We are unsure how big he will get, but we guestimate somewhere between 12 -16 pounds. He has had his first set of vaccinations, is microchipped, and has been dewormed. He is working on housebreaking and is starting to figure things out, but he's definitely not housebroken.<br/>Although he is super shy, he does come out of his shell, especially around other small, friendly dogs. He seems to be frightened of larger dogs and runs and hides when he sees them. <br/><br/>Jerry is sweet, but definitely has puppy tendencies - getting into mischief, barking, and finding things to chew on. Puppies are a lot of work!<br/>Jerry would really benefit having another small canine companion to play with and a quiet home where someone is around a lot to help build his confidence. His new family has to be very, very patient so he can learn how to be a confident dog.<br/><br/>If you are interested in Jerry you can fill out an application at www.homesforhounds.org
