Though he may look like your average happy-go-lucky silly puppy, Jerry is more the kind of dog that'll have you wondering just what he's thinking. And he's likely wondering the same about you. The 4-month-old, believed to be a Lab mix, at first comes off as rather shy and a bit nervous, but it's because he's a keen observer. In fact, he's something of an introvert, an intelligent dog and an incredibly quick study. But he's no stick-in-the-mud. Jerry will make you laugh. He'll sit very still with his head cocked, move tentatively toward you, then burst into an adorable wiggly walk with his ears sticking straight up. Jerry is clearly a special dog, a sweetheart that we're hoping will find people who appreciate a more sensitive nature.
