Story
Meet Timmy! 🐾
Timmy is a 7-month-old, 21-pound Jack Russell Terrier blend with a sweetheart and a gentle soul. His story began when he, his mom, and his siblings were abandoned in a backyard. Thankfully, a caring neighbor reached out for help, giving this little family a chance at a better life.
Timmy came into foster care with two of his siblings, who have since found their forever homes. Now it's Timmy's turn!
Timmy absolutely loves other dogs, and a home with a confident canine companion is a must for him. Having another dog around helps him feel secure and brings out his playful side. Once he's comfortable, Timmy loves to play hard, act silly, hand out kisses, and show off the wonderful personality hidden beneath his initial shy exterior.
Timmy is naturally cautious with new people and situations. He takes time to trust and needs a family that understands that relationships are built with positive reinforcement. The kisses are definitely worth earning! He recently completed three weeks of summer camp training and made tremendous progress, showing just how much potential he has when given patience, guidance, and understanding.
His foster mom describes him as incredibly loving and super sweet. Despite being shy and unsure in new situations, Timmy has never once growled or shown any type of aggression. When he feels safe, his affectionate and happy nature shines through.
Timmy needs that very special home—one that truly understands him and appreciates him for who he is. His cautious nature isn't something that will magically disappear, he simply needs people who will meet him where he is and help him continue building confidence. In return, you'll get to watch a shy dog blossom and learn the world isn't out to get him!
In his foster home, Timmy has been a very very good well-behaved boy and is loved beyond measure. We know his perfect family is out there—someone willing to give him the time, patience, and encouragement he deserves.
If you're looking for a sweet companion and understand that the best relationships take time to grow, Timmy may be the perfect match for you. Once you're part of his trusted circle, you'll have a devoted friend for life.
