Timmy's adoption donation is $500 and he is being fostered in Central Ohio. He has been neutered, microchipped, and is fully vaccinated—including rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella. He has tested negative for heartworms and is on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Timmy has also had a dental cleaning to ensure his smile is as healthy as his spirit.
Meet Timmy – A Little Dog with a Big Heart and an Even Bigger Spirit
At just two and a half years old, Timmy has already shown the kind of resilience and joy that can light up a home. This sweet, twenty-pound Shih Tzu may be sight-impaired, but don’t let that fool you—he’s full of life, love, and plenty of tail wags.
Timmy’s journey hasn’t been easy. He landed in a Tennessee shelter when his family could no longer care for him, but thanks to a series of kind-hearted rescuers, he made his way to safety, had his damaged eyes removed, and is now living his best life in foster care while he waits for his forever home.
Despite his vision loss, Timmy has adapted beautifully. He navigates his world with a little patience, a lot of sniffing, and a great sense of hearing. He walks well on a leash, adores chewy and squeaky toys, and loves playtime with other small dogs. He also enjoys car rides, cuddles, and being the ultimate lap dog.
This boy thrives on companionship and would love a home where someone is around often to engage him, walk with him, and share lots of love. He’s making fantastic progress with housetraining and does best with a consistent routine. While we’re not sure how he does with cats or young kids, he gets along wonderfully with other dogs.
Timmy is fully vetted—neutered, microchipped, up to date on all his vaccines, and on heartworm and flea prevention. He’s healthy, happy, and ready to share his boundless affection with a family of his own.
If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate companion who will show you how beautiful life can be—one step, one snuggle at a time—Timmy might just be your perfect match.
