TIMMY - TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Most dogs listen to your voice, but Timmy "listens" to your actions. At 7 months old, Timmy is a master of the "check-in." Because he’s deaf, he doesn’t get distracted by the neighbor’s lawnmower or the mailman. Instead, he keeps his eyes on his people, looking for a thumbs-up or a smile. It creates a level of focus and loyalty that is honestly hard to find in a "hearing" puppy. Why Timmy is the Total Package: A Professional Roommate: He’s already kennel and potty trained. He’s also a dream on a leash and loves a good car ride adventure. The Toy Collector: Timmy has a hilarious "hoarding" instinct—if there is a toy in the house, he will find it and add it to his private collection. The Social Butterfly: He is at his best when he has a confident canine brother or sister to follow. He uses other dogs as his "ears," learning the ropes by watching their lead. A Note on His "Special Edition" Features: Timmy has the double merle gene, which gives him his striking white coat and cute brown spots but also means he navigates the world in silence. He’ll need a family willing to do routine eye checks and use hand signals instead of shouts. While he requires a little extra mindfulness, Timmy pays it back in "eye contact" love. He doesn’t need to hear you say "good boy" to know exactly how much you love him—he can feel it. Ready to learn Timmy’s silent language? Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $595.00
