Jimbo

Description

Successfully rehomed by Battersea Dog Home

Jimbo is a lovely boy who has clearly had some input prior to his arrival here at Battersea, although as he came into us as a stray we do not know anything about his past. He has masses of potential in the right home. Jimbo is very typical of his breed and is looking for owners who have had collies previously and understand their traits.

He is a playful boy and enjoys chasing tennis balls around, and will drop at your feet to invite you to play more! Although he does need some further training, he is a clever boy and will pick commands up quickly. He enjoys playing with other dogs but gets a little over excited with chase games, so he will need owners who are confident with socialising him.

Jimbo will make a fabulous family pet once settled into his new home.
