My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Timmy is an 8-week-old, 8-pound bundle of love, believed to be a Poodle and German Shepherd mix. His journey to us started with a kind-hearted Good Samaritan who stepped in to help. After convincing the owner to surrender Timmy and his littermates, this amazing individual also contacted authorities to ensure the adult dogs in the home would receive proper care. Our organization has stepped up to assist with any expenses needed to support this effort.

Despite his rough start, Timmy is thriving in his foster home in McHenry, Illinois. He’s discovering the joys of indoor life, from playing with toys and enjoying good food to soaking up all the love and attention from the resident children in his foster family.

While we do our best to breed type based on veterinary insights and information from the previous owner, we cannot guarantee exact breeds. Timmy is up to date on immunizations, dewormed, and microchipped, and he’s ready to find his adoptive family.

If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate pup to join your family, Timmy could be the perfect fit!

More about this rescue

Our Experience and Approach to Rescue

With over 60 years of combined experience in veterinary medicine and competitive arenas for both horses and dogs, our team brings a wealth of knowledge to the world of animal rescue. We receive calls from both Wisconsin and Illinois, often from shelters asking for individuals who initially thought raising a litter would be enjoyable but found it more challenging than expected.

When we take in these puppies, we ensure that the owners agree to spay or neuter the parents, and we cover the cost as our commitment to ending preventable breeding cycles. By stepping in before these puppies reach shelters, we protect them from exposure to parvovirus and other illnesses common in high-stress environments.

Given our small size and limited resources, we must be selective in the cases we take on. However, even when we cannot take in every litter, we’re still committed to funding and arranging for parents to be altered, directing many families to appropriate resources.

The animal rescue community is vast, and there are many ways to help—this is ours. We may each do things differently, but together, we all play a role in making a difference.
