My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Jimmy is a male white with tan/yellow rat terrier mixed breed. He is 5 years old and he weighs 32 pounds. Jimmy is neutered and vaccinated including rabies. Jimmy is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventive. Jimmy is ready for adoption.

Jimmy originally was adopted 5 years ago as a puppy. He was Jimmy Stewart from the Hollywood litter. Through family changes he ended up in a home with two larger dogs which the family determined wasn’t a good fit for Jimmy, so he was returned to us. Jimmy was happy as an only dog and is used to living in a family with adults and children. He seems fine with other dogs, but he is unsure about them on first meeting and needs time to develop a friendship. He responds differently to each dog personality and we are sure there are plenty of dogs he would like, but he doesn’t need them to be halls in a home. Jimmy pulls a little in the leash but is pretty walkable. He doesn’t love the kennel but he is fine when kenneled. Jimmy is house trained. We know Jimmy was taken care of and went to the same vet clinic yearly during his five years after adoption. Jimmy’s overall personality is a little reserved and shy, but once he trusts you he gives kisses and enjoys cuddles and a good scratch all over. Jimmy is a good size, right on the borderline of small and medium, so he fits inside the home easily without being underfoot all the time. Jimmy needs a person or a family that will give him a minute to acclimate to the new surroundings but will engage with him and talk to him as he learns to relax and feel safe. Jimmy does know his name.

More about this rescue

Jeff Tarpley Rescue is a full-time volunteer rescue effort dedicated to helping dogs. All dogs for adoption are rescued from shelters or owner surrenders. Puppies under 4 months old are vaccinated and dewormed several times, with a spay/neuter contract required for adoption. The vetting of an adult dog includes spay/neuter, vaccinations including rabies, and heartworm testing. Dental work and treatment of heartworms, cherry eye, mange, parvo exposure and broken limbs are some examples of what is done to save lives. Shot and medical records come with the dog upon adoption and include the last date heartworm prevention was administered.
