04/20/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: A cuddly bundle of cuteness, that’s Jim, a mere baby with a waggity-wag tail. It’s hard not to notice Jim with his puppy gait and gorgeous coat so soft to the touch: “He’s so adorable” says a passer-by with a smile, “He’s great in play groups!” from a staff member. And when he cuddles, Jim leans in tight, whether it be an ear scratch or back scratch, basking in the warmth of a human friend. Surrendered to our care after his owner ran into difficulties, Jim joins us with excellent notes so that he can have a wonderful start with his new family. We’re told that Jim is friendly with children and strangers; he likes to follow his family around. He enjoys playing chase and fetch, with durable toys being the best kind because he likes to chew on things. He is mostly housetrained, knows to potty outside and should be fine when walked on a regular schedule. There’s so much more to tell you about this handsome youngster but I’ll save it for when you visit. Jim is a sweet puppy with so much potential; it’s hard not to be touched by his story. Adopt Jim today and help him grow up to be a wonderful adult!
