About Jimmy

Meet Jimmy, a charming 2-year-old Shih Tzu and Miniature Poodle mix looking for his forever home. He weighs in at around 14 lbs and has a soft, medium-length coat that's a lovely mix of white, cream, and black. Jimmy is a sweet, shy boy who warms up quickly once he feels comfortable. He enjoys walking on a leash and is great with smaller dogs, but he prefers not to be around larger dogs. This gentle lad is housebroken and has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He thrives in a house with a backyard and would do best with older children aged 10 and up. Jimmy’s previous owner left him behind, so he might need some time to settle into a new environment.
