About Therman

Meet Therman, affectionately known as Tiny Tim, a charming Chihuahua seeking a special home. At 4 years old and weighing just 5 pounds, Tiny Tim requires a secure fenced yard and an adult female-only household. He looks for an experienced Chihuahua lover who truly appreciates the quirks that make this breed unique. Tiny Tim values trust and loyalty. When he feels secure, he blossoms into a devoted companion, showering you with kisses and snuggling under the blankets. He’s got a big heart for playtime with his tiny toys, but he does not enjoy the company of strangers. He finds men and children particularly unsettling and may show aggression unless he’s built up enough trust. This little guy needs a patient adopter who understands canine body language and respects his boundaries. His leash manners leave much to be desired, often resulting in dramatic antics instead of peaceful walks. Due to this, he prefers to handle his business in a secure outdoor setting rather than embark on neighborhood strolls. Though picky about his favorites, he does get along well with other dogs and cats. Tiny Tim may have specific needs, but once you earn his trust, he’ll provide unwavering loyalty and affection that only a Chihuahua can offer. Give him the understanding he deserves, and you’ll discover a bond like no other. Click apply to start the adoption process.
