Jerry and his brother Benny are the cutest little things. They do not have to be adopted together. They are about 6 months old and spunky, friendly, happy, adventurous, curious, loving, and great with all dogs and with cats. They are active and are not lap dogs. They do love cuddles and being petted, but they are terriers and love the outdoors and exploring the woods and the pond. Unlike other small breed dogs, these types of dogs are not couch potatoes so they will need play time and activities.
He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take him in or he will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found.
Note: No dogs are advertised as potty-trained because most dogs need at least some re-training in a new environment and after being in a shelter/rescue environment/strays.
