Timothy is still available! This energetic 5-year-old, 35lb terrier mix loves walks and play but also settles really nicely at home on a dog bed. He would be a great addition to a low traffic home with a family that will give him time and patience as he learns to trust his new people and feel safe in his new home. Timothy needs a family that can set and enforce rules so that he can know where he stands and enjoy being someone’s amazing dog. If you’re looking for a companion who likes to relax but also likes to adventure, Timothy is your guy! 🐾❤️ Photo by @bmacpetphotography (fb)

Timothy is still looking for his forever family! Timothy is a 5-year-old terrier mix who’s a bit like Shrek... like an onion... with lots of layers. Now that he has relaxed in his foster home and knows that he is safe, his foster mom is seeing more and more of Timothy’s layers and depth. Lately his foster describes him as bursting with energy and curiosity! He even surprised her one day by running circles around the house and even getting the other dog to join in the fun. Timothy tends to be nervous around new people at first, but he warms up with time, treats and patience. Once comfortable with you, he loves to receive your pets and affection. Timothy is great on a leash and well-behaved in relaxed public settings, though so far he doesn’t enjoy lots of chaos and he is not the type to want to say hi to every dog and human while out and about. He’d rather observe and stay close to His Person. Timothy has done well with respectful kids in his neighborhood that are as young as age 6. He has done well with dogs of all sizes when introduced properly. He has a good amount of prey drive as is typical with his breed, so if a cat were to run, he would likely want to give chase, but if a cat stands its ground, they would likely quickly learn to ignore each other or even be friends. Timothy is looking for a family that can help him continue to learn and grow. He needs someone who is willing to give him time to decompress. He also needs boundaries and clear rules.
