Biography

Why am I with a rescue group?

Jerry is back for his second go round with us here at CPR. Found back in 2020 as a stray running the streets with his "brother" Ben, Jerry was quickly adopted. Jerry spent four wonderful years in a home as a family pet experiencing

 life in what he thought was his forever home

. Sadly, Jerry has severe separation anxiety that became too much for his family to manage. They tried very hard. 

As you can imagine, it's incredibly hard to go from living in a home to living in a rescue kennel environment. Sure, there is lots of cuddles and love in rescue, but it isn't the same as living in a home. And boy does it show. The happy-go-lucky dog that we adopted back is now sad and a little stoic.

He’s a very quiet calm dog that longs for love and wants to constantly be with people. He loves food and is VERY treat motivated. When he is left alone, he gets bored and chews up anything in sight, including fences. Hence the separation anxiety that landed him back in rescue.

Jerry still holds out hope of finding a loving family environment and is eager to form a strong bond with his new adopters should they ever come for him. He dreams of a home where someone is home most of the day to provide him with constant companionship he craves.  His caregiver humorously describes him as needing an "emotional support human." That description of Jerry is more apt now than ever before.

He can’t understand why he’s here. We will let Jerry take it from here. “I walk well on a leash and know some basic commands like down and sit. I’m a good boy, but some people say I’m too needy. I just want to be with my human. I get anxious and worried when left alone and then I chew on stuff. People don’t like that, but I can’t help it. It’s not my fault I’m wired this way. I wish I could just find someone who wants a dog to be by their side all the time because I am the perfect dog for that! I’d go with you anywhere, on walks, trips to the dog park, or even a sidewalk café! That sounds like fun.

“I know because of my breed and my chewing that I will probably be here for the rest of my life. It makes me sad because I’m really a good boy.

 

The caregivers here, God bless them, are very kind and caring with me. They are working with me and helping me feel more comfortable with each and every day.

Sponsorship

Can’t have a dog of your own? Have a soft spot for old, sick, or hard-to-place dogs? It only takes a $20 a month donation for me to be your virtual dog!  I need at least 10 virtual adopters (sponsors) to help cover my monthly costs.  If I have medical challenges I need even more!  The caregivers at Carolina Poodle Rescue will do the rest.  Just think, without ever having to leave your home, you can have your very own online dog that will send you update emails, make Facebook posts, and be eternally grateful for your support!  Go to the donate link at the top of the page for instructions as to how to donate.
