Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Date of Birth November 14, 2023
Those of us in rescue have animals that hurt our heart on a deep soul level...such is the story of Jimi Hendrix our little rockstar puppy and siblings Janice Joplin and Ozzy. These puppies were being given away for FREE on Facebook the beginning of the year and a board member reached out to owner to bring into our care. Thank goodness she did. The post said the pups are Lab/Pitty mix and 10 weeks old. Upon arriving to the rescue they looked very sickly and 6-7 weeks at best. Our hearts all dropped as these three babies were nonengaged with their vacant little stares. We quickly weighed them and they were between 3-5 pounds with rotund worm bellies.
Sick babies...off to the vet they go and all begin immediate treatment. Vet ages them at {7} weeks based on teeth but breed sure doesn't line up with their size as a {7} week old Lab/Pitty pup should weigh anywhere from 10-15 pounds...and they are 3.25 to 5. Jimi is a little comedian and so cuddly and trusting - and makes me cry to think if we hadn't rescued these pups when we did - I really don't think they would be alive today.
*UPDATE*
Jimi is now sterilized and up to date on his vaccines/deworming/flea preventative. Jimi is in a foster home with two other dogs that he is learning from and building his confidence with. We would like to see him go to a home with people that are home the majority of the time to continue training this sweet little guy and a family that has a fairly calm dog that will teach him the ropes on growing into a happy and confident dog. We sure promise the lucky family that adopts this little guy a darn near perfect pup.
NOTE: Jimi was 6.6 pounds at sterilization (1/18/2024) - DNA test was run on 1/19/2024 and they are an adorable mix of American Pit Bull Terrier (34.8%), Labrador Retriever (33.6%) and the remaining is a smattering of American Bulldog, German Shepherd and Supermutt.
