He much prefers a mellow lifestyle with plenty of time to relax and recharge. For this reason, he does not require a fenced in yard and can live in almost any type of apartment, condo, townhouse, etc. Give him a cozy couch or a big, comfy dog bed, and he’s in heaven. Quiet, calm, and affectionate, Jimmy is a low-maintenance companion who brings a peaceful, loving presence to his home.Jimmy currently attends doggie daycare regularly and gets along beautifully with everyone there. He keeps a clean kennel, enjoys several daily potty breaks, and settles in nicely on his dog bed without chewing or causing any mischief. He eats twice a day and may turn his nose up at plain kibble, but adding a little wet food does the trick. One thing to note, Jimmy prefers to enjoy his meals and treats solo, so feeding him separately from other dogs will keep everyone happy.Though Jimmy is super dog friendly, he doesn't require another dog in his forever home. He'd be happy either way...just wants adoring family members!! Jimmy hasn’t been cat tested, but with his easygoing personality, he has the potential to adapt well with proper introductions. Overall, he’s a wonderful, well-mannered boy who would thrive in a laid-back home where he can relax, feel loved, and share his sweet, snuggly nature with his people. As part of Jimmy’s $300 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.

Because social interaction with other dogs is such an important part of a young dog’s development, Wrigley requires a home with at least one other friendly, playful dog. A canine companion isn't just a bonus, it's essential for helping him meet his play, exercise, and socialization needs.Wrigley is happiest when he's included in his family’s daily life. He needs a home where one or more family members are home more often than not, as spending long hours alone simply isn't his style. While he's happily crate trained, he'd much rather be hanging out beside you than watching life from behind a crate door. Wrigley can be quite talkative if he feels he is being left out of the fun, so he'd be happiest in a single-family home rather than an apartment, condo, or townhome where nearby neighbors might not appreciate his commentary.Wrigley experienced a few seizures in his short life so far, but after working closely with his veterinarian, he was started on anti-seizure medication. The great news is that he has not had a single seizure since beginning his medication and is doing wonderfully.

It makes me feel so safe and loved.I've learned to be a good housemate, too. When my foster mom leaves, I go into my crate for a nap and just sleep until she comes back. I don't get & get "barky", but I will let you know if a stranger comes into the yard—it's the least I can do! This makes me a great candidate for an apartment or condo, as long as I get my regular potty breaks. But, full disclosure, I do get a little excited about chasing squirrels and cats, so my human would need to be mindful of that. I prefer to be the center of attention and would love to be your one and only fur-baby. I might be open to a chill similarly-sized female dog after a proper introduction. (I do love my foster sister and will even curl up with her on the couch, but I’m choosy about my doggy friends.) I have not been around children so not sure how I’d react but foster mommy thinks that because Istartle with loud sounds and quick movements, it would be best if I didn’t have children around.I promise to give you my whole heart and be your most loyal and affectionate companion.
