About Jimi

Meet Jimi !! This boy is so sweet and loving. He has a shy side but is doing outstanding with his training. Hes going to make a wonderful dog for his new family. Jimi is almost 3 years old male. He weighs 66 pounds and is full grown. He had DNA done and is a mix of Australian Shepherd, German Shepherd and hound. He is already neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. He is thankfully heartworm negative and on monthly preventions. Jimi was adopted from us as an adorable little puppy. Sadly his family has decided not to keep him anymore so hes come back to us to find a forever home. He has been a very easy houseguest and is learning so quickly. He is wonderful on car rides. He is perfect about crate training. He goes in when asked and sleeps in the crate overnight. Hes also done excellent with potty training. Hes never had an accident. He pulls on the leash at times but responds well to redirection and training. Hes great on a long line leash where he can explore. Hes picking up new commands quickly and enjoys training sessions. Hes so eager to please and make you happy. Hes extremely well behaved. This guy is an old soul for sure. Hes such a sweet sensitive guy. He loves to rest his head on your shoulder and be anywhere you are. He can be a bit needy when youre in the room with him, but he can also hang out by himself if youre in a separate room. When youre near him, he likes to put his paw on you to get your attention and make sure that youre giving him all the loving he can get. He is incredibly smart. He picked up place training in one day and can lay on his place bed during dinner. He is so eager to please. Hes steadily doing better with everything hes being shown. His foster says hes very polite and easy to have around. Jimi misses out on some important socializing as a pup. He can be reactive toward other dogs on walks (barking and some leash pulling). Its fairly mild and he can be redirected without much trouble. He has lived with another dog before, but it would likely take slow introductions to get him to feel comfortable around a new dog. He would also do excellent for someone wanting one dog and having a fenced yard to avoid seeing other dogs on walks. We think this is mostly based in fear and being unsure of other dogs. When we went to the vet the lobby was very crowded with multiple dogs. We took a straight no stop path through them to the room and he did great. He definitely needs a confident owner to show and teach him that hes safe in these situations. He is fostered with a cat, but he does chase the cat if it runs. It would probably be best to go to a home without them or where they would be separated in the home. He isnt trying to hurt the cat but just doesnt understand not to chase them around when they run. Jimi its not fostered with children. His previous family said he did good with them, but we have not been able to verify that ourselves. He has a very sweet demeanor so we think he would do good with older kids that can give him space and time to feel safe around them. Also kids respectful enough not treat him like a toy and climb on him etc. He has a lower energy level. He loves a good walk but doesnt require a ton of exercise. Hes happy to lay around with you as well. He plays with his toys and enjoys puzzle games and snuggle mats. He also loves to play ball at times. A little attention goes a long way with this sweet boy. Jimi has not shown any issues with sharing his food, treats or toys with people. Hes not fostered with other dogs so we are unsure how he would do with that. Overall this guy is going to be a super easy guy for the right setting. Hes a sweet soul that wants someone to love him forever. Hes very well behaved and ready to find his perfect person or family. Vet and home checks required. Located in Hampton VA. (He will need to be adopted within a 2 hour drive radius) !!Please message the [email protected] directly with questions or to get an application.
