NB: We do not rehome interstate or to applicants under 25. It is our policy not to rehome dogs in the Sunraysia area. As rescue groups have transported thousands of homeless dogs from Mildura and Sunraysia pounds over the last decade, we do not intend to send any back there.

Breed: Male Miniature Poodle
DOB: 30/08/2018
Weight: 6.5 kg
Location: Collingwood

Jerry is a sweet, affectionate, and energetic boy who’s looking for a second chance at a forever home. Sadly, Jerry’s family are moving overseas indefinitely and, with heavy hearts, have made the difficult decision to rehome him to avoid putting him through the stress of multiple international moves.

Jerry is full of life and still carries that playful, “puppy” energy. Whilst he enjoys the company of other fur friends whilst out and about, and has been great at doggy day care, he will need support in sharing a home with another dog as he is very protective of anything he perceives as his.

Jerry’s Quirks & Needs:
• Dog-friendly: Loves other dogs, especially poodles/oodles, young dogs, or those who match his energy.
• Playful but excitable: He sometimes gets too excited when he sees dogs on walks and may rush or bark to initiate play, which can be a bit overwhelming for timid pups.
• TV Barking: Yep—Jerry is the kind of dog who will “talk” to animals on TV!
• Food Guarding: Can show some resource guarding with food or treats, so ongoing management and training will help here.
• Separation Anxiety: Jerry loves companionship—he feels safest when around people or other dogs and may get anxious when left alone. A stable routine and interactive play help ease his worry.
• Leash Skills: Walks well with a loose lead once he’s settled, but may pull at the start or when he sees other dogs.

The Ideal Home for Jerry:
Jerry would thrive in an active home where he’s not left alone for long periods. He would love a family who were home more often than not and can include him in daily life. Experience with poodles or managing separation anxiety would be a plus. A secure yard and regular off-leash play would be a dream come true for this bouncy boy!

In Summary:
Jerry is a joyful, affectionate dog with lots of love to give. He’s looking for a home that understands his big heart, youthful energy, and his need for companionship. If you’re ready for a loyal friend who’ll fill your life with fun, cuddles, and a bit of TV commentary—Jerry might just be your perfect match.

Could Jerry be your new best friend?
