Jimmy

Meet Jimmy JAM!

3year, 55lb German Shepherd

Jimmy Jam is a cuddly, curious, affectionate and goofy German Shepherd. Jimmy has a condition called Masticular Muscle Myositis that affects the muscles in his face and jaw, as a result, he lacks chewing strength and is not able to fully open his mouth. Despite those minor challenges, he thrives! He does well eating soft foods, like soaked kibble and wet food, and loves to play with any toys that he can fit in his mouth. He takes lots of naps and loves to rub his face on his bed. 

Jimmy Jam has some shepherd energy for sure, but he settles down very quickly and gets most of his energy out with walks and short bursts of playtime. During training, he is focused, smart, and very obedient. He behaves well in the car, though he can get sick. Jimmy does great on walks, however he is showing some reactivity at first introduction to new dogs, but that has been manageable by redirecting him with high value treats. With proper introduction, he does great with other dogs.

Jimmy is being fostered in a home with 2 other dogs, but has not been observed with children or cats. He is house trained, and is doing well with crate training.

Jimmy's adoption donation is SPONSORED. Includes Neuter, DHPP, Bordatella, Rabies and microchip.
