Meet Jimmy!


Jimmy is a high energy chihuahua who came all the way from Texas to find his forever home! He is looking for an active, dog savvy family that’s

willing to do some training, maybe with some older teens that would like to play with him. Jimmy loves toys of any kind and would play fetch or

tug of war all day if he could!

When he gets too excited he can mouth hands and needs to be redirected and calmed down before he can resume play, so he needs no young kids in his home. Jimmy has 2 dog foster brothers that he plays well with but can be a bit bossy and has been reactive meeting new dogs since. He also likes to chase cats (and squirrels!) so he’ll likely need a home without any other pets.

Jimmy is housetrained but does tend to mark on new smells or in new environments. He also walks well on leash and can be left alone for up

to 8 hours without issue. A home where some barking and noise is okay would be best as Jimmy is sometimes vocal when he plays, and will need to be kept on leash outside unless inside an area with a fence over 4 feet. He might be small but he has springs in his legs and he loves to explore! Jimmy loves to spend time with his people and will follow them from room to room and spend his evenings relaxing with them on the couch. If you’re looking for an affectionate, active small dog with lots of

personality, Jimmy’s your guy!

Adoption Process

Looking for your new best friend? Homes for Paws is an all breed dog rescue dedicated to saving dogs on death row. When you adopt a dog you’re not only saving one life but two! The dog you’re adopting and the dog that will be rescued in its place in the shelter. The dogs have also been in a home environment while in our care so we know their personalities and needs quite well!

Steps in the Adoption Process

  • Fill out an adoption application. Please answer as truthfully and thoroughly as possible. 
  • The application is screened by the Homes For Paws team and then passed on to the foster home.
  • If the foster home believes you to be a good fit they will contact you to set up a meet and greet with all members of the household (including pets!).
  • You can get to know the dog and ask any questions you may have. The foster home has spent the most time with the dog so they will know best! 
  • Take some time after the visit to think and discuss with all members of the household. If you decided to proceed with adoption please contact the Homes For Paws team and we will move forward with your application. 
  • Vet and personal references are contacted and a home check will be completed by one of our volunteers. 
  • If all goes well the last step is to complete the adoption! An adoption contract will be signed, all medical records will be provided and the applicable adoption fee will be collected via cash, cheque or e-transfer.
