Jerry

Meet Jerry! He is a friendly, playful, and intelligent white German Shepherd who enjoys being around people but is also content spending time on his own. 👌

He can be cautious with strangers and will bark if people enter the home, but settles quickly when he knows there is no threat. 👮‍♂️

In public settings, Jerry tends to ignore or avoid strangers and their dogs, showing no signs of reactivity or aggression. 🐾

He has lived with other dogs and generally does well with medium to large dogs, although he may be a bit anxious and avoidant at first. With small dogs, Jerry is avoidant, he’ll try to hide or move away but has never shown any aggression. 👍He is untested with cats or other animals. 🐱❓

Jerry was raised with children from ages 5 – 17, and is playful and gentle at heart, but he lacks awareness of his size and does have a tendency to “herd” smaller children. Because of this, a home with older children would be more suitable. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

He enjoys being outdoors, especially in warmer weather, 🌞 but likes to come inside when it’s cold. In the event of storms🌩 or fireworks ✨ Jerry will bark if he is left outside but settles down straight away and stops barking if he is indoors. He is house-trained. 🚽✔

Jerry enjoys walks and loves exploring shallow water at the beach or in creeks, though he does not like swimming. 🦮

He’s also known to jump on trampolines for fun and will chase sticks or balls but won’t bring them back. 🤪

Jerry has good recall and will come back to his name being called and the basic sit/stay commands. 🏆

He has had 6ft timber fences with a 5ft timber gate, and he has never attempted to escape. 👍

Jerry needs a home where he can live and sleep inside with his family and have access to a secured well fenced yard. 🏡
