I go by Timmy, TimTim, Timbit, and Brown Bear in my foster home. I have such a friendly and playful nature that inspires nicknames. I absolutely LOVE playing with other pups. I like to chase, wrestle, and tug. I have met many other active pups and make friends really easily. The resident pup at my foster home prefers to sunbathe, so I’ve learned to just lay with him instead of bugging him to play all the time. I get so excited to see him in the mornings, I have to give him kisses all over his face! I would do great in a home with another friendly dog, but would be okay as the only dog as well.

If we don’t have playmates over, my foster mom takes me for a 45-60 minute walk. I love to sniff and explore on my walks. If we are alone, I walk very nicely on the leash and am learning that walking right beside my handler means I get lots of treats! If there are other dogs around I get excited and pull towards them, but can usually bring my attention back to my handler with some treats. I have even gone on 10km trail walks and loved it! I will be a great adventure buddy.

I am ALMOST fully house trained! As long as I am let outside regularly, I have no problems with house training. Please keep this up with me! I typically tell my foster mom when I need outside, but if we are in a new and unfamiliar place, I sometimes don’t remember how to let my humans know. 

I sleep in my crate throughout the night, and during the day if you have to work or leave the house. When I first go in my crate, I cry for 2 minutes or less to let you know how sad I am that playtime is over.  After I settle down, I am quiet all night. I get up in the mornings when I hear my humans get up, and am okay to sleep in, if that’s what you like. 

I love toys! I like to play surgery on soft toys and take out all their stuffing. I love to play Tug-with-Rules on sticks or toys with my Hoo-mans. I play tug really well with other dogs too. I play fetch with my foster mom in the yard. I’m pretty much down for any game you want to teach me! I play independently with my toys as well and can be such a goof. I toss them around and roll all over and pounce on them. I am so funny to watch. I have a super playful personality!

I also love to cuddle on the couch. I would love to be your oversized lap dog and be laying as close to you as I can get! Please let me rest my head or part of my body on you, as it makes me so happy and feel loved. 

I am learning quickly and love to make you proud! I am smart and eager to please. I know how to sit, lay down, shake a paw, and come when I am called. I’ve met a couple of kids briefly and love that they are playful like me! I have been a good boy and respectful of the kids so far, so please help me to continue to have positive interactions with kids if you have them in your life!

I can’t wait to find my furever home and spend my days making my family smile and laugh! Everyone who meets me thinks I am such a joy to be around. I know I am going to be an excellent addition to someone’s home.
