Jerry

Description

Successfully rehomed by Blue Cross - Thirsk

Jerry is a big strong dog with a fun and happy personality. He is wary of new people to start with but soon makes friends.

He is playful around other dogs but his access to them has to be carefully managed as he is a bit overpowering and giddy for older and smaller dogs.

Jerry loves to play with his toys and knows some good foundation behaviours like sit, give paw, wait and down. He is a clever dog and fun to train. He is very strong on the lead which we are working on but we may need the assistance of a head collar at least in the short term.

Jerry will need a new home with an owner that can be with him for the majority of the day. He is still very young and needs to be gradually taught to be left home alone.

He may live with a female canine companion and a confident dog savy cat.
