ave gotten to know him, we call him the 'gate-keeper of the pack." He tends to take roll-call as other pets come in or go outside; it seems like he is actually checking them off his list. He always greets new people when they come in and you need to acknowledge him or he will carry-on until you do. Jimbo is a very loyal dog with medium to high energy and loves to go on long walks or even a short jog. He has a strong working drive, (as most terrier breeds do), and needs a strong owner that he respects as the leader. He would do great as the only dog or be with dogs that are the same size or a little larger, (he tends to heard or boss smaller dogs around). He will also just "chill" around the house in a comfee dog bed or just be by your side while you relax on the sofa. For the most part Jimbo is quiet if the environment in the house is relaxed and quiet. Jimbo loves toys to a point that he will rip-up any stuffed toy, even tennis balls. He is up for the challenge and just wants to see what makes them tick. We suggest hard rubber or solid canvas toys. Jimbo absolutely requires a secure fenced in yard. Jimbo is micro chipped, up to date on vaccinations, and is very healthy with no known health issues. He is totally house trained and sleeps in a crate at night , although he would love to sleep in bed with you or be close by you during the night.

Request to Add a New Breed

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
