Jimmy

Male · Senior · 11 years

We present Jimmy, who after 11 years of life in a family with his companion Balù, found himself in dog shelter. Jimmy is a sweet-segugio, with his nose always to the ground and an endless desire for affection. Don't let his age fool you: he is in the prime of his maturity and still has so much to give! He is excellent on the leash, relates very well with humans, seeks contact, and is incredibly sociable; he loves walks in the greenery, during which he never takes his nose off the grass to follow trails, decipher scents, and enjoy the aromas of nature. Unfortunately, he tested positive for heartworm that we are treating: with the right therapy and the warmth of a home, Jimmy will still be able to enjoy many more years in a family! Jimmy is perfect for those seeking a balanced life companion, already socialized and always ready to follow on adventures in search of scents! 🐕 JIMMY – dog shelter of Calderara di Reno (BO) BREED: Segugio GENDER: Male SIZE: Medium DATE OF BIRTH:

Vi presentiamo Jimmy, che dopo 11 anni di vita in famiglia con il suo compagno Balù, si è ritrovato in canile. Jimmy è un dolcissimo segugio, con il naso sempre a terra e una voglia infinita di affetto. Non fatevi ingannare dall’età: è nel pieno della sua maturità e ha ancora tanto da dare! Bravissimo al guinzaglio, si relaziona molto bene con gli umani, cerca il contatto ed è incredibilmente socievole; adora le passeggiate nel verde, durante le quali non stacca mai il caso dall’erba, per seguire tracce, decifrare odori e profumi della natura. Purtroppo è risultato positivo alla filaria che stiamo curando: con la giusta terapia e il calore di una casa Jimmy potrà godersi ancora tanti anni in famiglia! Jimmy è perfetto per chi cerca un compagno di vita equilibrato, già socializzato e sempre pronto a seguirlo in avventure in cerca di odori! 🐕 JIMMY – Canile di Calderara di Reno (BO) RAZZA: Segugio SESSO: Maschio TAGLIA: Media DATA DI NASCITA: 06/05/2015

About Jimmy

What life with Jimmy looks like

Jimmy is a medium-sized senior dog waiting at Fuori Le Zampe ODV in Bologna.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇮🇹Adopting from Italy

Italian canili require adopters to sign a stewardship contract (affido) and may retain the right to verify the animal's wellbeing post-adoption. Animals are chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jimmy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jimmy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fuori Le Zampe ODV handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jimmy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jimmy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Fuori Le Zampe ODV will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Jimmy already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Jimmy isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Fuori Le Zampe ODV early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jimmy and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (IT). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
