When we told Jerry the big news this morning about going to Tulsa, he did not hesitate to get into character. He dusted off his paw patrol badge and began gathering his stuffies.

With that being said, we are proud to announce that Jerry is no longer available and will be headed to Tulsa within the next couple of days!

Thank you to everyone that has shared his posts and helped him to be seen. New beginnings for our Jer Bear!

❤️ 129 Days. That’s How Long Jerry Has Been Waiting. ❤️
And every single one of those days, he has greeted us with a wagging tail, soft eyes, and a heart full of hope.
This is Jerry, a 3–4-year-old hound who has watched other dogs come and go while he waits… and waits… and waits. We don’t know why he keeps getting overlooked, because Jerry is truly one of the sweetest boys to ever come through our doors.
Jerry is neutered, microchipped, and current on all vaccinations. He’s ready to walk out the door and into a family’s life today — all he needs is someone to give him that chance.
If you ask us what Jerry loves most, the answer is easy:
• Snuggling with stuffed animals (he collects them like treasures)
• Pup cups — his eyes light up every time he sees one
• Being near his people and following them around with that gentle hound curiosity
• Leisurely sniff walks where he can show off his personality
He is soft-natured, affectionate, and goofy in the most heartwarming way.
Jerry truly has only one quirk: he needs a home without poultry. No chickens, no ducks — those are just a bit too exciting for him. But with people? With kids? With love? He shines.
It is heartbreaking to see such a good dog spend 129 days waiting for something he absolutely deserves — a warm bed, a family of his own, and a place where his stuffed animals don’t get shared with anyone else.
If you’ve been thinking about adopting, fostering, or even just sharing his story, please consider Jerry. Someone out there is going to be his perfect match — we’re just trying to help them find him.
Come meet Jerry. Let him lean on you with that soft hound head. Let him show you why we love him so much.
He’s ready for his forever family. He just needs someone to choose him. 🐾💙

Did you know that Pete's Pumpkin Patch at LedgeLand Acres Farm is pet-friendly?! 🐶

Join Rolla Animal Alliance for a fall photo shoot at Pete’s Pumpkin Patch on October 17 from 1–4 PM!

That means you can bring your furry family members (safely secured on a leash, of course!) along for some adorable fall photos! But why stop at pets? Bring the whole family - grab your kids, your significant other, your best friend, or whoever makes your life a little sweeter. We want to capture it all! ❤️

📸 Here's what to expect:
🍁 Professional-quality digital photos emailed directly to you after the event.
🐾 Bring your pets, your family, or just yourself! Enjoy all Pete's has to offer (which is A LOT - you will definitely have a fun time) and find us there to get your photo taken with beautiful fall background!
🎃 A suggested donation of $5 per photo helps support our mission. If you’re able to give more, we would be incredibly grateful and so would the animals we help!

Whether you’re looking for the perfect family photo, an adorable picture of your pup among the pumpkins, or just a fun fall memory, we’d love to see you there!

Tag your favorite people (and pets!) and come make some fall memories with us! 🍂🐾

115 days. You read that right. That’s how long our Jer Bear has been with us at the shelter.

Jerry was adopted and unfortunately returned due to him thinking chickens were food instead of friends.

Jerry spent his summer at camp, running and playing with kids and other dogs.

If you come visit Jerry, you’ll probably find him playing with stuffies, enjoying a pup cup, or barking at the leaves falling on the ground.

If you have room in your heart and home for Jerry, please come meet him. He deserves the chance to live a life full of love.
