My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I’m Timbit. Yes, like the snack. And much like the snack, I’m small, mighty, and best appreciated by people who really get me.

I am a true-blue, nose-driven Beagle. My sniffer is my superpower, my passion, and honestly my life’s purpose. If you’re into scent work, tracking games, or long hikes where stopping every three steps to sniff is not only allowed but encouraged—we might be soulmates. If you want a dog who walks politely without investigating every blade of grass… I am not your guy.

I’m an independent thinker with a “personal space bubble.” I enjoy affection on my terms (briefly, occasionally, artistically), and I don’t need to be glued to your side to be happy. I’m perfectly content doing my own thing, especially if that thing involves my nose. I’m also great at hanging out at home and can be left alone without turning your house into a crime scene—unless you leave food on the counter. Then… no promises.

I do have some sensitivities, especially around handling and medical stuff. The vet is not my favourite place, and I’ll need a patient, kind human who’s willing to go slow, learn my signals, and help me build confidence with things like muzzle training, nail trims, and feet handling. I thrive with people who believe in teamwork, consent, and trading instead of grabbing.

Because of my preferences and boundaries, I’m looking for a very specific setup: No other dogs, No cats, No young kids (teens are okay!), Apartment living only if there’s direct yard access (townhouse-style)

I’d love a beagle-savvy adopter—or someone excited to learn—who wants a dog with personality, opinions, and an elite-level nose. I’m not a cuddly lap dog or a social butterfly, but if you respect who I am and let me do what I do best, I’ll be a loyal, fascinating, and wonderfully beagle-y companion.

If you’re ready for a project with payoff, a hiking buddy with a built-in GPS (set permanently to “sniff”), and a dog who is unapologetically himself… I’m your Timbit.
