TIMMY - GREATER SWISS MOUNTAIN DOG / BERNESE MOUNTAIN DOG / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Greater Swiss Mountain Dog / Bernese Mountain Dog / Mixed. Timmy should have been called Tigger because he is a bouncy boy full of joy. He is absolutely adorable and charms everyone he meets! He is 2 & 1/2 years old, 65 pounds, and testing revealed a mix of Greater Swiss Mountain dog, Bernese Mountain Dog, and even some poodle. Timmy would like a person (or two) who would take him for walks, play with him, and give him belly rubs. Timmy is very people focused so he needs a home with people who will give him the time and attention that he needs. He would LOVE a fenced yard to explore, chase squirrels, and roll in the grass. Timmy has done great with his foster - he relaxes well in the house, enjoys chewing on his kongs, and happily goes into his crate overnight. He does not require a huge amount of exercise but enjoys his walks, chasing a ball, and "water aerobics" in the backyard. He is working on his training and knows "sit", "down", "touch" and is working on "stay." He is intelligent and treat motivated and responds well to training. Timmy loves car rides, looking out the window, and smelling all the smells. Timmy is a great companion and after a walk will relax with a chew toy at your feet. We think Timmy would do best in a calm home with an experienced dog person(s). A home without young children would be best but we think teenagers would be fine. Timmy has been learning to play appropriately with a neighborhood doggie friend. He loves other dogs but can get overexcited and needs guidance on appropriate play behavior. Timmy is looking for love. He will give you his whole heart - can you be his person?
