TIMMYTimmy has a bit of the WiseGuy in him! One year old, he channels the soul of a much older dog. At times he seems aloof and calculating, but then he remembers he is a puppy and goes off the reservation with spirited play. |
Timmy is as flexible and agile as a dog can get. He knocked our socks off as he jumped a six foot fence, without a running start, to follow his foster Dad on garbage duty. Adopters will need to ensure that Timmy cannot jump his backyard fence -- although, he tends to want to follow his people, not run from them! Timmy would make a fantastic companion for an active family with older kids, or active couple or single. He would make an ideal running or hiking buddy, and although he is not a super high energy dog, he really thrives with lots of exercise. |
Like most rescues, Timmy has not had much obedience work, and can be a bit stubborn. A patient, calm, assertive adopter will have just what it takes to mold him into the ideal canine citizen. There is a majestic quality about this dog, he truly has magnificent potential in the right hands. Timmy is a bit fussy in the crate, but usually calms down when it is covered and he has a chew toy for distraction. He would much rather be with his people than in his crate, so crating might not be necessary, but advisable in the first few weeks in his new home. Timmy is house trained, has generally good house manners, although he can be bossy to other dogs, and probably would be pesty to cats. He would get on well in a home with another medium energy dog, and would likely enjoy the company. |
Timmy is in excellent health. He is neutered, up to date on routine shots, microchipped and de-wormed. He has tested negative for heartworm/lyme/earlichia/anaplasmosis. If you are interested in Timmy, please write to Denise@EskiesOnline.com for an adoption application or call Denise at 401-651-9403 for more information. |
