My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

WEIGHT: 17lbs

Meet Gerald— This little guy came to us from a partner shelter and so far, is quite shy. He comes out of his shell in the meet-and-greet room but is still unsure about the outside world. So much so, that Gerald has proven himself to be a little bit of a flight risk and spent a morning roaming around Scott’s Valley while out in foster care. He’s safe and back in the shelter now and is looking for a quiet and low traffic home to help him acclimate and get used to life as a pampered pup! Because of his escape artist tendencies, we recommend a home with a fenced yard, or at the very least, a floor plan that allows him to be extra secure. Ready to take this handsome boy home for the holidays? If you’d like to meet him, feel free to call our adoptions desk or stop by during Browsing Hours: Wed-Sun 11-5.
