Jimbo's Story

Fostered near Mobile AL<br/><br/>Meet Jimbo.<br/><br/>Jimbo is the little survivor you didn’t know your family was missing.<br/><br/>This tiny Great Dane mix boy was pulled from the woods in Mobile County, Alabama, completely alone and absolutely skeletal. He was starving, scared, and clearly had never known what it meant to be safe. After scanning for a microchip and holding for a reclaim that never came, we got him fully vetted. That’s when we learned he is heartworm positive. The good news? He is already on treatment and on his way to a healthy future.<br/><br/>Jimbo is estimated to be about 10 to 12 months old and currently weighs around 60 pounds. We suspect he may be a mix of Great Dane, hound, and Lab, but your guess is as good as ours. What we do know is that he is still gaining weight every single day and blossoming right before our eyes.<br/><br/>And his personality? Pure gold.<br/><br/>Jimbo does not have a mean bone in his body. He is sweet, gentle, and quietly affectionate. He can be timid at first, but give him a soft voice, a few treats, or a kind hand and he melts almost instantly. Once he trusts you, he looks at you like you hung the moon.<br/><br/>He is wonderful with other dogs and cats. He currently lives with three dogs and relies heavily on them to show him how to “dog” inside a house. It’s very clear he had never lived indoors before coming to rescue. Watching him discover toys for the first time was both heartbreaking and beautiful. Thresholds were especially hard in the beginning. He would pancake at doorways and chatter his teeth, unsure how to cross from one room to the next. But each new day brings more confidence.<br/><br/>Now? He is discovering that couches are amazing. Soft beds are life changing. Air conditioning is elite.<br/><br/>Jimbo is still very much a puppy. He absolutely loves to play. He may not be the one chasing the ball, but he will happily run alongside the dog who is. To Jimbo, being part of the pack is everything. Even going to the bathroom is fun! He’s picked up potty training because he quickly learned it’s what the cool kids do. If his friends are going, he’s going. He would truly thrive in a home with playful, confident dogs who can continue to show him the ropes.<br/><br/>Because he is still building confidence, a home with a fenced yard would be best for him. He would make an excellent companion for a family with children who want a stable, loving, midsize dog to grow up with.<br/><br/>Jimbo’s adoption fee is partially sponsored at $200. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and currently being treated with doxycycline and a ProHeart 12 injection for his heartworm treatment.<br/><br/>If you think you could be the family who shows this sweet woods baby what forever really means, please read over our adoption requirements and apply at www.nwflgdr.com/adopt.<br/><br/>Please note: NWFLGDR does not transport. All approved adopters are required to pick up their dog in person from the foster parent.<br/><br/>Jimbo survived the woods. Now he’s ready for the couch.

NW Florida Great Dane Rescue Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Our adoption requirements are as follows: 1. All Dogs and Cats in your home MUST be spayed or neutered. We will call your vet to verify this. We allow exceptions in rare medical instances upon verification with your vet only. 2. All Dogs and outdoor Cats in your home MUST be current and have been kept historically up to date on annual vaccinations and monthly (or semiannual) heartworm and flea prevention. We will call your vet to verify this. We allow exceptions to this in rare medical instances upon verification with your vet, ONLY. 3. You must be a minimum of 21 years of age to adopt and be able to prove you're financially able to care for a great dane should a medical emergency arise. 4. You must own the property in which you live or your landlord must be willing to verify that you are allowed to have a Great Dane in your rental home. We check property records.? 5. Our Great Danes require a sturdy fenced in yard, particularly young or active danes. Generally, a six-foot or higher privacy fencing is preferred. In certain circumstances, the Board may waive this requirement depending upon the Dane's personality and temperament. Any such exceptions will solely be at the discretion of the Rescue Board. Under no circumstances will we consider invisible or electric fencing as acceptable. 6. We only adopt Dogs as indoor pets. We will not adopt Dogs to be used as guard dogs or to be kept out-of-doors. 7. A home visit is required for ALL adoptions, without exception. This is not a white-glove inspection, rather it is to ensure that the home is a safe environment for the Great Dane. 8. We do not transport. If you are applying from out of area or out of state, understand that if your application gets approved, you will be expected to pick up the dane in the location that he/she is being fostered. In addition, if the adoption does not work out, it is your responsibility to bring the dane safely back to us. 9. There may be multiple applications for the same Dog. Our Great Danes are placed in the home we believe most suitable for them, based upon their individual needs and temperament. 10. Before applying below, please expect this application process to take about two weeks. If you are applying from out of area or state, please expect a slight delay. It will take us more time to get the home visit set up. At any time, if you have questions about the status of your application, please email the rescue at nwflgdr@gmail.com.
