About Gimp

Gimp is a big, goofy Rottweiler with a deformed front leg—he gets around by hopping, but that doesn't slow his spirit. He’s had some time around children, though he’s best suited to someone able to give him focused, one-on-one attention. Gimp is eager for a deep bond with his person and will return your care with love and loyalty. He hasn’t been exposed to cats before, so a home without them or with careful introductions would be wise. Despite his physical difference, he approaches life with a playful attitude and a lot of heart. Born May 22, Gimp is a creative-minded Gemini at heart and is ready for his next adventure with you. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
