**Jersey Devil will not be available for general adoption as an employee has already decided to take him home. If you are interested, please consider his three brothers who will go up for adoption 9/26 at 1 PM!**
Meet the infamous Jersey Devil! Having made his way here from the Pine Barrens in south Jersey, he's looking for a forever home to settle down in!
Full disclosure, this Jersey Devil isn't actually the hooved cryptid from out east. He's actually just an 8 week old German Shepherd/Husky mix. Jersey Devil was brought to us alongside his three brothers due to being an accidental litter. Their owner didn't want a whole herd of puppies on their hands, so they brought them to us so they can meet their new families!
Jersey Devil may have been named after a terrifying creature, but he's actually a very sweet boy. These pups are still at a very young age, and they act exactly how you would expect puppies to! They're friends with just about everyone, and are always on the go. Of course, being so young they are not trained at all, so they are going to take some work. They are not potty trained, nor do they know any commands. Of course, they're at a perfect age to start teaching, but it will take some determination! They are a mix of breeds that are known for being intelligent, but also known for being stubborn. These puppies should only go to home with the free time to work with them, and the experience to train them.
The first thing we noticed about Jersey Devil was his size! Even though he's only 8 weeks old, he's already close to 20 pounds. We expect this boy to be extra large when he is full grown, so please keep that in mind when considering bringing him home. He's not going to be a good fit for an apartment or small space, and needs plenty of room to play!
Jersey Devil has received his first round of vaccinations and will soon be looking for his very own forever bridge. If you think this boy could be the dog for you, stop by and meet him today!
