About Jerry Lee

Hi, I'm Jerry Lee aka Mr. Snuggles. I'm a young guy at just 1.5 years old. I weigh about 80 lbs but I have room for about 10 more lbs and I'll take it in treats please. I'm a super friendly boy and I'm honestly one of the sweetest guys you'll ever meet. Just beware - if you sit down I will make myself at home in your lap. One of my newest accomplishments? Car rides! I used to be a bit scared of the car but now I now hop right in like a pro because I know adventures are coming. On our third outing, I finally stuck my head out the window, closed my eyes, and took the biggest happy breath ever. It was a whole moment. I did get a little car sick driving over a very windy road at night but that was kind of scarey for me. On leash, I'm a pretty easy boy when I wear my front-clip harness. I can pull a bit with a martingale, but if you remind me you're there, I check back in and even sit like the polite gentleman I am. The world is still new to me — automatic doors, store aisles, and busy places are things I'm learning about — but loud noises like horns and sirens don't bother me at all. Bikes and strollers mostly earn curious looks, and honestly... that skateboard surprised both of us! My favorite activity? Cuddling. If you sit down, I will be in your lap within seconds, gently giving kisses and tucking my head into your chest. I even did this with the vet I had just met. I'm a soft, affectionate boy who just wants to be close to his people. Sometimes when I get playful, my excitement turns into a little jumpy or mouthy behavior, but it's all happy energy and easily guided. I'm friendly with other dogs, did great at my first vet visit, and handled all the poking and prodding like a champ. I know “sit,” take treats politely, respond to my name, and my recall is already pretty good. Oh — and I LOVE fetch. Throw the ball and I'll proudly bring it right back so we can do it again! Right now I'm a tall, lanky guy working on filling out — about 10 more pounds and I'll be looking extra handsome. I'm still learning that the world is safe and that my people always come back. At first I worried when my person stepped out of the car, but now I patiently wait for the door to open and my cue to hop out. Every day I feel a little braver. What I really want is a family willing to give me a little time, kindness, and reassurance while I continue to leave my past behind. I'm trying so hard, and I promise — with love and patience — I will reward you with loyalty, laughter, and endless snuggles. If you're looking for a gentle soul, an adventure buddy, and a world-class cuddler...I'm your guy. You like this dog...now what?
