About Jimmy Johns

Jack Russell
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

Meet Jimmy Johns !! He was one of the twelve dogs we took from a very bad hoarding situation. Sadly 16 dogs from that same home died despite the shelters best efforts to save them. These guys have had a tough life but they are doing so well and really soaking up all the love and attention in their foster homes. Despite all they've been through none have shown any aggression to people even when stressed. Jimmy Johns is a male, 2 yr old, Jack Russell mix. He weighs 12 pounds. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccines. He is Heartworm negative. Jimmy Johns loves people and loves attention. He wants to be in your lap all the time but does well in his own gated area if you need some alone time! He hasn't shown much interest in toys yet but if you have a heated blanket he will be your best friend! He's the thinnest of the dogs and still needs to regain some weight. He has done well with other dogs of all sizes. He is fostered with cats but they don't interact much. He's not met any children but we suspect he would do great with respectful children. Jimmy Johns is doing better with potty training but isn't completely trained. He does very well if you're diligent about taking him out but still has accidents. He is doing decent with leash training but is still a bit afraid of it. He's crate trained but gets barky because he misses you. He does much better gated off in an area. He does great on car rides. He has a low to moderate energy level so far, he plays and likes outings but he also loves being snuggled up in your lap. He's a big fan of blankets and getting cozy with you. This may change as he becomes more settled. He currently is a bit itchy and that may be residual from his previous environment and/or his health. It could also be mild allergies. Oatmeal bathes seem to be helping him. Jimmy Johns has not had any issues sharing treats, food or toys with people or other dogs. He has shown some resource guarding of his people from other dogs. This is easily manageable with proper training. He is learning to drop his defenses more each day. Given his background of having to fight for attention and food please understand it may just take him some time to adjust. Overall he is a sweet cuddly little guy that's ready for a great new family. Vet and home checks required. Located in Hampton VA. (He will need to be adopted within a 2 hour drive radius) Please message [email protected] directly with questions or to get an application.
