Jimmy Shih Tzu Mix Albany, NY

**WE ARE ALWAYS IN NEED OF FOSTER HOMES** Homeward Bound Dog Rescue is an all volunteer rescue organization and all our dogs and puppies are in foster homes - we are not a shelter and do NOT have a facility where we house our dogs. For adoption information go to: www.homewardbounddogrescue.com. You must fill out an application online as we do NOT accept applications at our clinics.

HI! My name is Jimmy and I’m all the way from Puerto Rico! Some wonderful people rescued me there, all hurt and battered, from a ditch. You heard right…half dead in a ditch. But, they took me in for medical care and loved me back to perfect health…except for my eyes…. You see, the infection throughout my body was so bad that they had no choice but to take my eyes. Yes, I have no eyes…surgically closed area. I am blind, but alive…and I’m going to make the best of it. To know me is to love me. I don’t want you to feel sorry for me. Rather, I need someone to love me and help me to navigate the world I live in. I’m only three years old, about 12 pounds, and I am a little Shih Tzu. I will need extra patience and care to prepare a consistently safe environment just as you would for a visually impaired human. I am, by the way, a very quick study. I’ve already learned to walk down the street on a leash as long as foster mom brings my squeaky toy so I can hear it and follow the sound

We are presently not holding our regular Saturday adoption clinics due to the Covid-19 virus. We are operating on a limited basis until further notice, but we are still adopting dogs out. We require an approved application before we consider anyone for an adoption - so filling out the application is your first step. Different dogs and puppies go up for adoption EVERY WEEK so please feel free to visit the site and click on the Petfinder link for updates. Puppies and dogs up to 2 years old are $350. Dogs over 2 years old are $250. 100% of the adoption fees go to help us save more dogs.
