About Timmy Two Teeth

This could be the start of something paw-some. Timmy Two Teeth is an adorable young boxer who began his journey to a better life after being found in a cardboard box in Schenectady, New York. Now around 8 months old and weighing a healthy 40 pounds, Timmy has flourished with nurturing care and affection at the rescue. Timmy is housebroken and uses the doggie door to let himself outside when needed. He's getting used to sleeping in a crate at night and during naps, and while he sometimes 'talks back,' he settles in nicely. Playful and energetic, he adores playing with other dogs, toys, and especially loves chasing squeaky balls. Timmy is a people-loving pup who would thrive with a family offering plenty of love, attention, and opportunities to learn and grow. He is likely best suited for a home with older children due to his size and bouncy personality. Because his breed cues might pose challenges for renters, a committed, stable adopter is required to ensure he doesn’t face instability as he matures. Timmy enjoys nighttime snuggles and still exhibits all the sweetness of a puppy eager to find a loving forever home. Start your journey together! Apply now.
