Jimmy's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Your New Shadow<br/>This sweet boy is a true couch potato at heart. He’s not high-energy and has no interest in a busy, action-packed life. His favorite things are simple: hanging out with his person, taking long naps, and curling up on the couch for snuggles. If you’re a single person or a couple living a quieter, slower lifestyle and dreaming of a loyal dog who wants to be your shadow, he may be exactly who you’re looking for.<br/>He thrives in calm, predictable homes where he can feel safe and understood. Once he bonds with you, he’s deeply affectionate and happiest just being near—content to rest, relax, and soak up love.<br/>It’s important to share that he does need thoughtful handling and ongoing support. In the past, he has bitten people, not because he’s a “bad dog,” but because he was misunderstood and people placed him in situations that felt overwhelming, where he believed he needed to stand up for himself. He is currently working with a professional trainer to rebuild trust in people again and learn how to feel safe.<br/>Because of this, he’ll need a patient, adopter who is committed to continuing his training and willing to learn his boundaries, and how to introduce new people slowly and intentionally. He does best in a quiet home who understands that trust is built over time—not rushed.<br/>This boy isn’t looking for a social butterfly life. He’s looking for a soft place to land, a steady routine, and someone who sees him for who he truly is: a gentle, low-key soul who just wants to hang out, nap on the couch, and finally feel safe and loved.<br/>If you can offer him calm, consistency, and compassion, you’ll gain a deeply loyal companion who will happily be by your side every step—and every nap—of the way. â–o We do not adopt to Canada due to border restrictions and breed-specific legislation â–o We adopt & foster locally only ; within an approximately 55 mile radius of Lockport, NY 14094 USA<br/>Adoption donation includes Spay/Neuter, Vaccinations, deworming & flea treatment.
