MEET JERRY - A FRIENDLY AND VERY LOVING AMERICAN AKITA

This handsome fella is Jerry. Jerry is an American Akita who has come into care after living outside in a kennel all his life. He is approx 3-4 years old. He loves to be out walking and having adventures and has now found a new lease of life in our care. He has more attention and more walks with volunteers and is actually loving life and extremely happy. Jerry is no longer a lonely lad in isolation all day every day. A kind neighbour alerted us to Jerry after cleaning out his kennel on a daily basis and walking and feeding him every day. Jerry's new life has now begun, however we sadly have been searching a while to find him a very special, loving and active home. Jerry can be reactive with other dogs when out, yet at the same time he has come on leaps and bounds in our care. Although we may never be able to socialise Jerry completely he is one manageable chap now when out walking. Jerry goes out on lots of long adventures and is lapping up the attention from volunteers who have fallen in love with him. Hearts have been won for sure. Jerry is giddy and has real character and loves to play and run at the enclosure at the kennels. He needs someone who loves and understands the Akita breed. Jerry is very clean in his kennel and will need a home with a large enclosed garden and someone who can change his life and offer him the love and freedom he needs along with the warmth and comforts of a home life. If you feel Jerry is for you then please read on.

WHAT HOME DO I NEED?
Jerry is looking for a home that love his breed and have an understanding. He cannot live with children or other pets. He will make a loyal companion for someone who loves to go walking. Due to his past life we prefer to rehome him in an adult only home and with someone who can get Jerry into a routine of regular exercise and lots of company without too many pressures. Jerry's life hasn't been great and he needs to start a new chapter. This is long overdue and he has waited many months to find the love of his life. He adores food and attention and most of all he loves being about and exploring. Jerry can be reactive with other dogs and is strong. A must have is as an only dog. Jerry will need a large garden so he can have access to popping out on a regular basis and with someone who will not leave him every day for long hours. Jerry has been fully vaccinated and castrated in our care and received a full health check. He is a very loving, handsome and a friendly big fella that has captured hearts at our charity. If you feel you are the home and human Jerry is looking for then please get in touch. Please support adoption of rescue dogs and help our charity keep afloat in very difficult times.

Good Life Dog Rescue exists completely on a very small volunteer basis. We pay no wages and work very hard to help many stray and abandoned dogs. We welcome phone calls and emails to discuss any of our dogs. We are huge flag flyers for the Bull breeds and the dogs left behind in local stray kennels. Due to misconceptions and bad press rescue dogs are often overlooked and struggle to find a home. Please send details of yourself to show any interest. We welcome calls and visitors by appointments only. Please click on the adopt me button and fill in an application if you feel you are the special person to give any of our dogs the new life they deserve.

​

We are dedicated to finding the right dog for adopters so please ensure you have read the above details about Jerry before applying. It is important we match our dogs with people lifestyles.

WE WELCOME PHONE CALLS AND MAKE APPOINTMENTS FOR PEOPLE TO VIEW A PARTICULAR DOG. PLEASE CALL FOR DETAILS. DUE TO THE PANDEMIC WE ARE NOW ONLY REHOMING TO LOCAL AREAS.
