Timothee was found living under a broken down trailer in Texas with his sister Maple and several other neglected dogs. When he was first rescued, he was malnourished, dehydrated, covered in fleas, and filled with worms. Today he is healthy, happy, and full of personality. Timothee is a gentle, intelligent puppy who connects deeply with his people. He is wonderfully communicative and already lets his humans know when he needs to go outside while he is in his crate. He willingly goes into his crate, rides well in the car, and settles in comfortably. He enjoys water, fetch, toys, and playtime with other dogs. He is even politely curious about cats. He has a goofy side that shows when he runs around like a baby giraffe because of his long legs. He is affectionate and loving, yet also has an independent streak. Timothee is vocal, but only when he needs something. He will let you know when it is time to eat, go outside, or when he wants attention. Once his needs are met, he settles down. Timothee is very attached to his sister and loves playing with other dogs, so a home with a companion could be a great fit. He is going to be a large dog, and continued training will help him grow into a well-mannered adult. He would thrive in a home where someone is around often, ready to give him the attention, structure, and love he seeks. Timothee is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 3/7/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 8:30am and noon. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame.

Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start's veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments. ---- *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue.
