About Jimmy

Jimmy is a sweet boy who needs a patient adopter. He’s a 2-year-old male, neutered, Shih Tzu and Miniature Poodle mix weighing in at around 14 lbs. Jimmy might be a little shy at first and often takes 24 to 48 hours to warm up, but once he knows you, he becomes incredibly affectionate. With little ones, he’s best suited for teens aged 16 and older, and he does get along with other small dogs but is afraid of larger ones. Living in an apartment or condo isn't right for him; he needs a house with a backyard where he can feel secure. He’s currently healthy, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Jimmy was sadly abandoned by his previous owner, and he’s still adjusting to all the changes. As he settles in, we’ll continue to learn more about him. If you're interested in giving Jimmy the loving home he deserves, please apply to meet him!
