Before he landed the job, Jerry was hauled into a shelter by animal control. That’s
“I have found a dog that will be amazing. I am sending him to you. You will do great things with him, believe me.”
where a trainer found him and contacted Keanna’s dad. He sent him this message:
Jerry’s naturally
friendly nature and keen mind
made him the perfect candidate to become someone’s lifesaving seizure dog.
Her condition means every seizure she has takes a physical toll on her brain. Her dad says if the attacks were not

But then, a year ago, Keanna met Jerry Springer.
After just 2 days in the family home, Jerry would let Keanna’s mother know of an impending attack. At first, it was just a warning of a
few minutes, then10
minutes.
And finally...
i
m 30 And soon the dog who once needed rescuing so badly was rescuing his little girl every day. Before Jerry moved into her life, Keanna was having 25 to 40 seizures per month. Now she’s just down to 1.

Jerry was
more than happy to take her spot!
The dog that no one wanted has found a place in the hearts of our organization.
