Jimmy

My story

Meet Jimmy! A devoted one-and-a-half-year-old Hound/Labrador Retriever mix currently living in Willowbrook, IL, whose big heart and tricolor coat are as unforgettable as his journey from the streets of Iraq to a life filled with love and hope. Jimmy is a gentle, soulful pup who’s learning every day what it means to be part of a family, and he’s nailing it! With his goofy teddy bear in tow, he adores long walks, belly rubs, and soaking up every bit of affection you have to offer. Whether you're lounging on the couch or heading out for an adventure, Jimmy is your guy! Loyal, cuddly, and ready to be your shadow from morning coffee to bedtime snuggles. This 60-pound sweetheart is house-trained, fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. While formal obedience training hasn’t been part of his past, Jimmy is eager to please and learning new things daily. He thrives in a calm, confident home and would do best as the only pup, where he can have all the love and space to himself, especially a fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and chase a toy or two. Though he may be startled by sudden rear touches or loud yelling, Jimmy’s temperament is affectionate and responsive. He’s done well with some dogs at parks and in boarding, though he can be selective with his canine companions. With the right guidance and continued positive reinforcement, he’s bound to blossom even more! What makes Jimmy especially endearing is his remarkable trust in people despite his challenging start in life. He greets each day with hope, loyalty, and the desire to bond deeply. His current caregiver calls him “a great dog and loving companion,” and it’s clear he’s ready to bring that same comfort and joy into the heart of a new family. Are you the caring, active pet parent Jimmy needs to continue his amazing journey?
