About

Meet Jerry Orion

Jerry Orion is a very loving, gentle and very chill 7-year-old boy.    He is a healthy 80 pounds of solid muscle, with a hefty appetite, so he does need plenty of exercise to keep his perfect size.  Everybody that sees him compliments his very handsome and soft coat. He is a light shedder.     Jerry really enjoys jumping in the car for a car ride to go for some walks.  He rides good in the car hanging his head out the window most of the time.  He's not a fan of motorcycles so he does react to them with a short bark when he sees them.     While exploring the parks and trails he walks nicely on the leash but does want to greet every person and dog he sees.  He's very friendly with kids of all ages, adults and other puppies.  not much of a runner but will try to chase squirrels and other wild animals.  And he likes some short dips in the water.     When Jerry is at home, he's a perfect gentleman.  He is completely housetrained, not one single accident in the house.  He is happy laying around and looking out the windows.  Occasionally, he enjoys getting up to play with some stuffed toys with his housemate.  He is a minimal barker, and his foster dad has only heard a few short barks from him.  He sleeps hard, usually on the couch or chair all through the night with little to no stirring……. but he does snore! He's not a fan of the crate but will go in with some encouragement.  But with his house manners being so good the crate isn't used often.     Jerry Orion would do great with any size family (kids, other dogs of any size) but he is not cat friendly.  He tries to chase every cat he sees.  A fenced yard is a must due to his curiosity of people and other animals. Jerry is now completely vetted, neutered, chipped and just received a 6-month Proheart injection. (Heartworm preventative) Jerry Orion is located in the Myrtle Beach, SC. We rescued Jerry in 2021 after animal control visited his home several times. During the 4th visit, he was seized and taken to the shelter. He was full of parasites, had ear infections, heartworms, skin issues, and an embedded collar. :( He was very underweight. He had lived without food, water or shelter and had not been taken care of by his "owner". Thank goodness someone spoke up and it was investigated. We pulled "Orion" from the shelter, got him all fixed up and healthy and he was adopted. The adopters had cats which he wanted to chase. Instead of returning him to us, as our contract states, he was given away. He had not been to the vet in four years until we got him back recently, luckily. Now he is completely vetted, healthy and ready for a family.  He is looking for a forever home, foster home or a foster to adopt home. He went to a temporary place when returned to us as we were given a short notice and it was imperative we got him back and to the vet. Now he is healthy and ready to move on to the next chapter!
