Hi! I’m Timmy! Aka Timosaurus Rex, aka Tim Tam, aka Tiny Tim!
I love everything alive - people, kids, other dogs, and did I mention people? I’m learning how to walk outside right now, and my foster mom says I’m doing really well with attention and walking in a “loose leash” zone. Idk what that means exactly, I just know I’ll stay close to wherever the treats are! I love when I’m allowed to roam free in her apartment, sit in her lap with my toy and cuddle. I don’t really love being in my crate or confined, but I’m learning it isn’t as scary as I first thought. I just want to be where my people are. My foster mom also tells me I’m really smart! She is teaching me a lot of new things, and I’ll do it if there’s something in it for me… Kibble, you say? You drive a hard bargain, but I’m in.
I’d love a forever family who will be as loyal to me as I am to them. I’m ready to love you forever!
Timmy is approximately 0y 3m 16d old and may be 37 to 47 pounds when fully grown. They are microchipped and up to date on all age-appropriate medical care. Their breed is unknown as we have not had a DNA test done.
Although our dogs are listed as unknown breed, buildings with specific dog restrictions typically enforce their rules based on what breeds a dog appears to resemble. It's always important to keep that in mind and know your building's policies before adopting a dog.
This dog is available for adoption through Muddy Paws Rescue. If you're interested in adopting, the first thing you should do is begin the registration process at www.muddypawsrescue.org. If you are already a registered adopter with Muddy Paws Rescue, please email us at adoptionmeetings@muddypawsrescue.org.
Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed. The rescue's write-up is the best guide.
Most adult dogs do well with 30-60 minutes of walking a day plus play and sniffing time.
Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
