All About Gimli
Rowdy is no longer accepting applications. He thinks he's one step closer to finding his forever home!
|
Name: Gimli
Breed: Frenchton Age: 4 1/2 Years Sex: Neutered Male Size: 19 lbs Adoption Fee: $400 Foster Location: Cedar Rapids, IA Cats: Yes Kids: Yes Other Dogs: Yes House Trained: In Progress Demeanor: Sweet, Snuggly Energy Level: Medium- Gimli is lazy and snuggly with bursts of playful energy Health Issues: One of Gimli's front paws is smaller than the other from a birth defect. It does not impair him, it just looks a little different than the other Behavioral Issues: No known behavioral issues. |
Gimli is the best of both worlds, part Frenchie and part Boston. He loves cuddling and affection, but also has bursts of energy and loves playing with his foster dad and four legged foster brothers. He has proved to be fearless around other dogs of all shapes and sizes. He has a very happy-go-lucky attitude and so far has gotten along with everyone he's met.
Gimli does have a front leg that is smaller and a little underdeveloped in relation to the other. He was born this way and it doesn't seem to slow him down, just looks a little different. He actually loves to give high fives with this paw! Since he was intact until recently, he still has a tendency to mark his territory. This has dramatically declined since being neutered, but it's a work in progress. Other than marking, he has yet to have any accidents indoors and goes potty outside with his foster brothers.
Gimli is genuinely a very sweet dog and will make a great addition to any home! He seems to get along great with kids as well, but really, he gets along with anyone who seems to give him attention.

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.

-Gimli is No Longer Accepting Applications-
We will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top two applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks.
