My story

Meet Geri – The Little Dog with a Big Heart (Once You Earn It)   Geri is a petite 8-pound sweetheart, about two years old, with a gentle soul that blossoms when given time and patience. She’s a “love on layaway” kind of girl — here’s what you can expect when welcoming her home:   Day 1: She’ll keep her distance and quietly watch you from afar. Day 2: Curiosity will take over, and she’ll start exploring her new home. Day 3: She’ll take food from your hand, realizing you’re the bringer of good things. Day 4: You’ll have a tiny shadow who follows you everywhere, ready to be your new best friend.     Geri is great with other dogs but doesn’t need them to thrive — she can be happy as your one-and-only or as part of a gentle pack. Because she’s easily startled by loud noises, she’d do best in an adult-only home or one without young children.   If you’re the kind of person who finds joy in earning a shy dog’s trust, Geri will be the most rewarding friend you’ve ever had.       For a complete list of our pets and photos please visit our website fochp.org  August 14, 2025, 12:02 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Geri, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
