About Timothy

Meet Timothy, a spirited senior dog navigating a new chapter after his lifelong owner fell ill. Don’t let his age fool you—Timothy is bursting with energy and eagerness for adventure. He’s great with other dogs but prefers not to share his space with cats or children. Recently, he’s taken residence on a horse farm, where he enjoys exploring and sniffing around, showing a curious nature towards new experiences like meeting steers. Timothy is house-trained, knows some commands, and remains eager to learn more. While he's excited on a leash and tends to pull, it’s all part of his zest for life. He and his canine companion would love to stay together but are both confident enough to thrive in separate homes if needed. If you’re searching for a lively companion full of love to give, Timothy may just be the perfect match for you. Timothy is already neutered and up to date on his vaccinations, including flea/tick and heartworm preventive. Ready to give him a second chance?
