About Timothy
Timothy is a small Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler who came into rescue with his brother Hank after spending their early lives in a boarding kennel with minimal human contact. Those beginnings made Timothy cautious and nervous around people and new situations, but underneath, there's a gentle and genuinely sweet soul trying to break through. He approaches the world with quiet curiosity, watching and learning, and he sometimes shows small flashes of playfulness or affection once he feels safe. Timothy needs a home familiar with undersocialized dogs—someone who understands his need for patience, consistency, and a low-chaos environment. He thrives in a child-free space with adults who are home often and can celebrate the smallest steps forward. Commitment to positive reinforcement and letting Timothy find his own pace are musts. For adopters willing to invest the time and heart, Timothy promises deep loyalty and the quiet companionship that comes from earned trust. He gets along with dogs but not cats, and he’d do best without a lot of coming and going or social hubbub. His adoption comes with training support to help both Timothy and his person settle in together. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
