About

Meet Jerry Lee

DESCRIPTION: Jerry Lee is a victim of cruelty and neglect.  He was confiscated and charges were brought against his owner. Jerry Lee has moved on from his horrible past and is looking ahead to the future. Jerry Lee is a young, energetic, intelligent guy. He is looking for an active household that will provide him with the clear structure and routine that all shepherds need. Consistency and leadership are essential to developing stable and confident adult German shepherd. Coming from a situation with little opportunity for affection or interaction with the world around him, Jerry Lee is learning about the smells, sounds, and sites around him. He can be a little timid at first; however, patience and confidence go a long way with him. As is true of all young dogs, Jerry Lee will need daily exercise for both his mind and his body. This will help him develop the ability to handle new people and situations in a calm and composed manner, as well as help him develop a healthy mindset. Continued socialization is also critical for Jerry Lee as he has spent his first year with limited interactions. Providing Jerry Lee with opportunities to interact with people and other animals in a controlled manner will help him develop essential skills that could not be established while chained up. Training will be an essential piece of this process, as it will not only help Jerry Lee learn to develop a healthy bond with his family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to be a good canine citizen. Fortunately, Jerry Lee has already learned many of his basic commands. Further practice will help him develop the stability needed to meet with success. It is important that his new family understands the needs of the breed. If Jerry Lee sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today. Unfortunately, we have learned that Jerry Lee is HW positive. This could have easily been avoided with a monthly heart worm preventative. Jerry Lee's treatment has begun. However, he will need a few months to complete the entirety of his treatment. Although heart worm treatment is expensive, MAGSR will cover the entire cost of Jerry Lee's medical treatment. Please consider donating to Jerry Lee's care as it will not only help him continue to move forward, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. Jerry Lee is looking for a forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime. If this lovable guy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!
