Jimbo

MORE INFORMATION ON JIMBO

Jimbo was found by a volunteer from one of our partner kennels having been hit by a car. He was rushed to the vets where he needed life saving surgery. They hoped they could save his eyesight but that was sadly not the case and as such Jimbo has had to have both of his eyes removed.

Despite this fact, he is a remarkably happy and contented chap who has adapted incredibly well. Podencos always amaze us at their resilience and adaptability and Jimbo is a shining example of that. It doesn’t phase him and he copes really well. He is currently in kennels and despite doing really well, given everything he has been through we are really keen to find him a home ASAP. He is good with other dogs but also really enjoys the company of people so could live either as an only dog or with other dogs. He has not been cat tested but we could arrange it. Jimbo could live with older and very respectful children who can understand that he cannot see and act accordingly. He walks brilliantly on the lead and does a great job of finding his way around. Whilst a garden is not essential, we do feel that he would ideally benefit from one so that he can adjust to his new surroundings at his own pace without necessarily having to go for walks straight away. As with all of our adoptions, adopters will be fully supported by our team and our trainer post adoption to ensure Jimbo can thrive. Blind dogs are often deeply bonded to their people. They listen harder, trust more deeply and build extraordinary connections. Watching a dog regain confidence after losing their sight is one of the most rewarding journeys you can be part of.

Jimbo will be neutered, vaccinated and tested for all Mediterranean diseases. He is passported and available for adoption now.
