About Timmy
Hi there, I'm Timmy!
I'M IN A FOSTER HOME AND YOU WILL NEED TO FILL OUT THE APPLICATION FORM BELOW TO MEET ME or if you have any further questions you would like to ask?
I don't know a lot about the world, so I need my people to understand me before we move in together. I'm interested in people and I do want to be near you, but I don't love it when you get all handsy without my permission so you'll need to keep a lid on all that love until I'm ready (it won't take long if you let me drive). Once we know each other well, I will be your devoted little dude telling you all of my feelings (Yes, I talk... A LOT!)
I have dog friends in my foster home and you will need to have another dog at home to adopt me, even though I ignore them at first sometimes... Once we're friends, it's forever and they will help me navigate the world. I can walk on lead, but not really in public - I'm a home body for now. I take special medicine to help with all my feelings which you'll need to be on board with and talk to my vet about.
You probably should know, I'm expressive with my voice. I will talk when I'm happy, when I'm excited, when I'm frustrated and when I'm scared. My foster Mum says it's manageable and sometimes pretty cute, but I need a home that can restrict my visual access to the wider world to help take the edge off those BIG feelings.
Small kids are scary, so I need a quiet and consistent home with older kids (if any). I have lived with cats, no problem. I need someone home more often than not for the first few months, but once I'm settled I'm okay to watch some TV if you have to go out for a bit.
I can seem a bit forward sometimes when something is new and weird, so it's easy to think that I'm big and brave when really I'm freaking out and needing some guidance. Just know, I'm doing my best!
