About Slim Jim

Meet Slim Jim! He is a 5-year-old mixed breed dog with a healthy weight of 74 pounds. Slim Jim arrived as a stray, quite underweight and in need of medical attention. Now that he’s gained the necessary weight, he’s revealed his playful yet laid-back personality. This goofy guy loves his snacks and is always eager for a brisk walk. While Slim Jim might thrive in a home with another dog, he can be exuberant when meeting new canine friends, so introductions should be gradual. He’s not suitable for homes with cats. With his sweet temperament, he would do well in a household with kids aged 10-13 and older, and he's open to welcoming younger kids during visits. If you think Slim Jim could be the perfect addition to your home, come meet him today!
