Meet Jim

Jim is a 1 year, 10 months old male Pit Bull Terrier/Mix who weighs 56 pounds.

Meet Jim - or Jimbo - or Jimmy Jim Jim - or Jimmy Jams! He has an endless list nicknames. ??

Jim is a young pittie mix with movie-star good looks and a personality to match. This handsome boy is equal parts athlete, goofball, and cuddle connoisseur. If there's a ball anywhere within a five-mile radius, Jim will find it - he's basically a professional lost-ball recovery specialist. He can happily entertain himself for ages tossing, chasing, and proudly parading his latest treasure.

Stuffed toys? Jim believes they're meant to make snow. Unless it's a truly Jim-proof toy, he'll make it snow stuffing in record time. When he's not busy "redecorating," Jim loves long hikes, exploring the outdoors, and then settling in for couch time - as long as it includes generous belly rubs.

Jim is a big fan of pup cups and the idea of car rides... though once the car starts moving, you get "Statue Jim" where he sits perfectly still the whole way. He's still figuring that part out and will need a little patience and encouragement - and pup cups - to build confidence on the road.

Jim's open to meeting other dogs and can enjoy canine friendships, though he can be selective about his dog pals. He'd thrive with an adopter who's willing to continue basic training and help channel his puppy-like enthusiasm - he is eager, smart, and ready to learn! Jim would do best in a home without cats.

If you're looking for a loyal, entertaining, and incredibly lovable companion who will keep you laughing and fill your home with joy (and maybe the occasional fluff), Jim might just be your perfect match!

If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history. We are open daily 11-5pm.

Photography tips

Having photos for each of our animals is a priority! It is difficult to get a prospective adopter who is sitting at home surfing the web to get enthusiastic about a new pet that they can’t even see, so we want to get photos on the website as early as possible. Sometimes, though, the photos available are photos of the animals in their prior shelter homes (lots of chain link and concrete) or from a clinic setting (lots of hands wearing blue gloves). We want to replace these with happy photos of the animals as quickly as we can!

The following is some guidance about how to create the best photos

  • No photos of dogs in their runs. Preferably, no photos of dogs indoors at all. We want green grass and blue skies! When outside, think about background objects (trash cans, etc) and frame your photo to keep the distractions to a minimum.
  • Photos you submit do not have to be square, however the photo will appear square (cropped, not stretched) in many places on the website(s). Therefore, make sure that if your photo isn’t square that the animal is centered in the photo so that important details aren’t lost if the photo is shown cropped.
  • We can put three photos on the website for each animal*. At least one of those photos should be a “full-body” photo so that prospective adopters can get an idea of the size and shape of the animal.
  • Preferably, the animal is off-leash for the photo, but if that’s not possible, at least ensure that the leash is slack. Think about the prospective adopter, who has no idea how the animal is being treated, and make sure that the photos do not give them the wrong impression that a particular animal is difficult to control or that they are not being treated gently.
  • Get low! You’ll get a better photo if you’re down at the animal’s level than if you’re shooting down on them from five feet above.
  • It is better to have the sun behind you than behind the animal. Your color fidelity will be better if you can avoid shadows or shaded areas.

* PetFinder supports six photos (or five photos and a video), so we can post additional photos there.
