Jerry

Jerry was found at 7 months old, dragging his body thru a field in Texas where he had been dumped. X rays showed a small bullet lodged in his spine. A good Sam took him in, and for the next week, figured out how to get him to a “special needs rescue” here in Arizona.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the special needs rescue, was a fraud. She hoarded Jerry and 54 other dogs in a tiny house, leaving them locked in kennels with no meds, no water, no wheel chairs…<br/><br/>The Chandler55 case was horrific. When the dogs were finally released back to their original rescues, Jerry found himself needing a lifeline, and we couldn’t say yes fast enough!<br/><br/>Jerry has been with us for 2 years, learning all the ins and outs of what the good life looks and feels like! As the founder of the organization I made it my personal mission to give Jerry a 2 year window with us before we made him available for adoption, as I’ve been his personal physical therapist and I wanted to see if we could get him walking again.<br/><br/>Jerry has gotten stronger since he’s been with us, and his back legs will take steps, and he can do a small amount of what’s called “spinal walking” - however he will always need his wheel chair for full mobility. <br/><br/>If you could see the smile on his face when he does spin outs on our property, you wouldn’t worry about if he ever walked again. He’s so damn happy every moment of every day!<br/><br/>Jerry can poop on his own, but needs his bladder expressed 3-4 times a day. When we express his bladder, we also take advantage of “pooping him” so he stays on schedule and it reduces the chance of any poop accidents in the house. This is a very simple technique that takes about 1 minute, and makes everyone’s life so much better!<br/><br/>Jerry is great with other dogs, but slow to warm up to some people. He reads energy very closely, and isn’t an immediate fan of everyone. But if he loves you, you’re his favorite for life- everyone else, he’ll get there.<br/><br/>He’s off leash trained and LOVES to go on adventure hikes!!! He’s got a good amount of prey drive and would do best in a home with no cats.<br/><br/>He's about 40lbs<br/><br/>Jerry is great with other dogs, cautious with new people, and loyal for life once he trusts you. H! Off-leash trained, adventure-ready, and best in a cat-free home.<br/><br/>Before applying, things to consider:<br/><br/>Can you express his bladder 4x a day?<br/><br/>Learn and use the quick poop technique?<br/><br/>Get him in/out of his wheelchair for outdoor time?<br/><br/>Wrap his feet every few days to prevent drag wounds?<br/><br/>Add his 3 liquid supplements to his food  daily for UTI prevention?<br/><br/>If yes — Jerry might be your guy!!

Jerry has gotten stronger since he’s been with us, and his back legs will take steps, and he can do a small amount of what’s called “spinal walking” - however he will always need his wheel chair for full mobility.
