About Slim Jim
Meet Slim Jim, a charming 6-year-old Dachshund residing in Crystal, MN. Slim has a unique way of getting around, spinal walking through life with an endearing determination. Although he wears diapers due to his paralysis, that doesn't stop him from expressing his wants and desires with the enthusiasm of a typical doxie. He loves a slow introduction to new people, but once he trusts you, prepare to be his human. A major Velcro dog, Slim thrives on companionship, wanting to be close by at all times. He’ll snuggle under the blankets for hours, ensuring he is cozy and content. Living in a loving pack of dogs, Slim gets along well with his furry friends, especially his best pal who shares his paralyzing challenges. His interactions with cats and older, considerate children remain positive, making him an ideal family member. While Slim does not require a fenced yard, he can’t be left alone for long periods. His bladder needs expressing 3-4 times daily, but the rescue team will guide his adopter through this routine. Slim Jim needs a patient person to share their life with him, allowing him the freedom to bask in your affection. He is not just a dog; he’s a joy—a little, opinionated, diaper-wearing sausage with a flair for drama. Ready to make Slim Jim a part of your family?
