Jimothy - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Oswego, Illinois

Meet Jimothy!
12 lbs
Neutered

This spunky guy is a certified Stage 5 clinger who loves his people with his whole heart. Whether hes chasing down a tennis ball or playing with his foster brothers, Jimothy brings non-stop joy wherever he goes.
Jimothy absolutely loves playing with other dogs and does splendidly with his 70 lb foster brother! He doesn't always catch social cues right away, but he's eager to learn and is improving every single day. He is kennel trained, and while he gets a little case of FOMO and whines for a minute or two when he first goes in, he settles right down.
Jimothy's absolute best feature is his adorable snaggletooth. He loves to use it to nibble ever so gently on your chin and ear—its his favorite way of showing affection!
We aren't quite sure of Jimothy's age, but we estimate he's somewhere between 1 and 2 years old (the fun part of rescue life!). His foster parents sent in a DNA test and are awaiting the results, but what we can say without a doubt is that he is 100% a good boi.
As a bonus, Jimothy is already potty trained, crate trained, and leash trained! He knows "sit" and is actively working on "stay" and "leave it," though he listens wonderfully and redirects easily if you tell him "no." If you're looking for a sweet, quirky, loyal sidekick, Jimothy is ready to meet you!
