Profile
I would like to introduce you to a bundle of energy. Jerry is an energizer rabbit on caffeine. Jerry is 11 months old (still considered a puppy) who loves to play and run. Jerry was surrendered to RAGOM because his owner was deployed overseas and the wife was not able to take care of home and all the animals on her own. Jerry was very loved by his owners, it is clear to tell. He has a wonderful disposition of being happy and playful.
Jerry is a GR/mix. It is unknown what he is mixed with. At 11 months he is 32 lbs. His tail curls over his back. He is practically all white with light brown across his back. He looks like a miniature Golden Retriever. His hair is thick and feels like silk. Jerry was an outside dog. He is not fully housetrained. He will need some training. Right now he is being crated and tethered to house train. He is doing very well at both. Jerry knows sit, come and will do a down stay. If other dogs are around it is hard for him to keep his concentration as all he really wants to do is play. When apart from them he is fairly obedient.
Jerry loves to wrestle with other dogs. Resident 3 year Max is able to handle this rambunctious puppy, but foster dog 16 week old Shawny (08-576) gets bowled over by this guy. He starts out wrestling nicely but does get carried away in the moment. Since he outweighs Shawny by 20 lbs he sort of mops the floor with her, literally.
He is very gentle with humans and loves to be by his human. He has allowed me to pick him up, brush him, check his teeth and toes. Take food out of his dish and even allowed me to give his dish to another dog, while he watched. He showed no aggression during any of this. There was a slight squabble over a chew bone. Jerry ended up with all three!! There was no fighting just some verbal "that's mine". Jerry needs to be slowly introduced to other dogs as he becomes the Alpha immediately. He could get hurt if he does this to another Alpha.
Due to his incredible energy, his small stature, Jerry would be a terrific candidate for agility training and fly ball.
Jerry needs a Rabies shot and then he is ready to go to his forever home.

- 5/7/2009It has been too long since I gave you an update of Jerry. The news is that he is doing great. I was re-reading some of my notes from before and decided I need to clarify some of the previous notes. Jerry is fully housetrained and actually has been for a while now.

- 3/23/2009I apologize that I have not written in a while about Jerry. Jerry continues to be a sweet and playful guy. He gets along great with other dogs. A week ago Sunday, Buddy ( 09-125 ) came to live with us. Within minutes of meeting one another they were playing like long lost friends. This past weekend my sister came to visit and brought her dog, Sundance. They were a little stand-offish to each other and even a couple of snarky remarks mad...
- 2/13/2009Jerry has been to see the vet and he is UTD on all his shots. He weighed in at 34 lbs. He is probably as big as he is going to get. Jerry has no health issues and is “gorgeous” per the vet. I have to agree!! Jerry did a home visit to a family that was interested in him. All was going pretty well until Wally the cat showed up. Jerry became very….. shall I say excited! He will have to go to a home without cats.&nbs...
