About Jimothy

Meet Jimothy, a sweet little guy with a heart full of potential. Rescued from a tough situation, he arrived scared and matted, but has proven to be a playful and affectionate puppy once he found his comfort zone. At just six months old, he resembles a mix between a Shih Tzu and Maltese, with fur that might remind you of a stuffed toy if it weren't for his playful antics. He loves being around other dogs, and his timid nature fades quickly in their company. Jimothy is currently working on his house training and may benefit greatly from having a confident canine buddy to guide him. He’s neutered and up to date on vaccinations, and at 11 lbs, he likely won’t grow much more. This little one is eager for a forever home where he can continue to socialize positively and thrive.
