Kerry Gold is a sweet and thoughtful Shepherd mix puppy with a gentle heart and a very bright mind. She may be a little shy when first meeting new people, but her curiosity and loving nature shine through quickly. Once she realizes someone is a friend, she warms up fast and happily becomes your loyal companion.
Kerry loves being around people and enjoys being part of the family. She has been wonderful with the toddler in her foster home and shows a naturally gentle and protective spirit. She keeps a close eye on what's going on around her and will bark to let you know if something new catches her attention.
This smart girl is eager to learn and very food motivated, which makes training a great opportunity for bonding and building her confidence. She already knows several commands, including "sit," "kennel," "outside," and "leave it." Like many young puppies, she's still learning the ropes and continues to make progress with potty training when kept on a good routine. She's also working on feeling more comfortable in her crate and improving her leash skills.
Kerry would love a home that would give her a job. She is a very smart girl and food motivated so would thrive with a family that took her to dog school and give a a purpose.
Kerry enjoys playtime with toys and especially loves chewing on a good bully stick or playing with rope toys. She gets along well with other dogs and has been very respectful of the older resident dogs in her foster home who prefer a quieter lifestyle. While she would enjoy having a canine playmate, she would also do well as an only dog in a home where her people are around often and can give her plenty of attention.
Because she can be a little timid at times, Kerry is working on building her confidence, including overcoming occasional submissive peeing. With patience, encouragement, and positive experiences, she continues to grow more comfortable each day.
Overall, Kerry Gold is a kind-spirited, affectionate puppy who simply wants to be near her people. With continued guidance, love, and structure, she will grow into a loyal, intelligent companion who will bring warmth, protection, and joy to her forever family.
I'm a growing puppy and I have not yet had a lot of experience with crates, kids or cats and I might bark if something alarms me, but I really love to learn and hoping for a family who will take me to a basic obedience class to continue to help me build confidence and dog skills. Ideally my forever home would need to be home during the day to help me with my potty training and not leave me for breaks longer than 3 - 4 hours. If you are looking for a best friend, please fill out the puppy application. The more info you include on the application the better so I can find a good match for my forever home. Get your toy box ready!
**Obedience classes are required when adopting this puppy from Underdog Rescue. Many of our puppies have a mama who was not properly socialized before coming to Underdog Rescue. Since coming to Underdog, this puppy has been in a socialized and loving home, but that needs to be continued with its Adopters. Training classes teach puppies the ins and outs of being a pet while creating a bond with their new Adopter. Obedience classes are key to creating a relationship with your puppy while having it be a happy and successful member of society. Proof of Obedience Class registration is required for this puppy before adoptions can be finalized. If you would like some suggestions, we would be happy to send some trainers who have experience with Underdog Rescue, but a Basic Obedience class in your area should work!
Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter's expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.
T
his puppy requires an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void. We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion.
Puppy Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee. Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the puppy. Our goal is place puppies in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn't meet the specific needs of the puppy, we will not approve your application.
We accept applications for puppies until we have a candidate that meets all of the requirements needed for the specific puppy and they have been contacted to review the adoption process as well as agree to all of the terms to move forward.
