Jerry

Over memorial day weekend while surfing facebook, I came across Jerry's picture on the Humane Society of Utah's profile. This is the status that caught my eye...

The Humane Society of Utah JERRY's good as gold. This lab is 10 yrs old and knows the ropes. He's housebroken, neutered & micro-chipped. He's also great with kids & gentle on the leash. The old owners gave him to the Humane Society of Utah claiming Jerry's too "vocal." Didn't say a peep on my walk with him. 10 yrs old is too old to be in the shelter. Please consider adopting an older dog. Adoption info is available @ utahhumane.org!

I don't know who someone can be a part of your family for 10 years and then you just dump them off at a shelter?? So sad! I sure hope this guy finds a wonderful home asap!

My last dog was 6 or so when we got her. We had her for 8 wonderful years. I can't take a dog that big, and hope Elise decided to take him...

I have 2 cats,so I can't take him either, but boy I wish I could. They gave up a beautiful dog like this after 10 years? I don't understand some people, My animals are like my children.

I agree Mike...don't understand it either. I have 2 adopted cats, one adopted pom and a chi mix raised from a pup. I would so love to adopt more but my family would have me committed to a padded room. LOL! And my animals like yours are my kids. Good luck Jerry!

Elise...Speaking as someone who just adopted a 9 and a half year old dog, it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. Our time together may be brief, but it is very sweet. He's a great dog and I don't regret it. Good luck with your husband. I think if he meets Jerry, you'll seal the deal!
