With Help From GHGSDR, Kerry Found a Loving Forever Home<\/h2>\n

Hi! My name is Kerry, and I\u2019m a beautiful German Shepherd. I have a luxurious black coat. I also have an adorably, sweet and affectionate personality. And, I’m very obedient and very kind. You would think I had it all! But unfortunately, I didn’t.<\/p>\n

First, I was dumped in a shelter at just three months \u2013 most likely by a breeder trying to hide the fact that my litter had a congenital defect, elbow dysplasia.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a painful condition that can\u2019t be fixed, though it can be improved with an expensive surgery. But my condition was unknown at the time, since I wasn\u2019t showing any symptoms yet. Greater Houston German Shepherd Dog Rescue<\/a> (GHGSDR) took me in and it was only a matter of weeks before I started to limp.<\/p>\n

I was soon diagnosed with elbow dysplasia. But GHGSDR didn\u2019t hesitate \u2013 they are so great! With the help of a grant from the folks at PEDIGREE Foundation, they arranged for me to have surgery. Being a puppy, I came through it with flying colors.<\/p>\n

Please help us help other dogs in need!

Now it was time for me to find my forever home. This was a scary time for me, because who wants a dog who requires a lifetime of special care?<\/p>\n

I was advertised for adoption, elbow dysplasia and all, and here is where my luck changes. In only three weeks, a wonderful woman came to meet me. My awesome personality must have worked its magic, because she didn\u2019t care about my disability. She said she just had to have me!<\/p>\n

My luck had changed and I\u2019m so happy now. Thanks to GHGSDR, with support from PEDIGREE Foundation, I now live in a wonderful home with a wonderful mom.<\/p>\n

Every dollar given to PEDIGREE Foundation supports shelters and rescues helping dogs in need. Together, we\u2019re working to end pet homelessness. Whether it\u2019s funds to help provide a bag of food or contribute to a life-changing surgery, your gift helps save lives! Donate here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
