Timothy TX
Hi… I’m Timothy. If you look closely at my face, people say I kind of have that Eeyore look going on. Soulful. Thoughtful. Maybe a little bit like I’ve seen some things in life. And honestly… I have. I showed up at a high-kill shelter in Texas in pretty rough shape. My fur was thin, my skin was angry and itchy, and I even had a big lump on my hip that needed to be taken care of. But some really nice people stepped in, fixed me up, and brought me into the NorthStar family. These days I’m feeling a whole lot better and hanging out with my foster mom while I wait for my forever home. I’m about 8 years old and a very respectable 16 pounds — basically the perfect size for walks, couch lounging, and general companionship. Speaking of walks… I LOVE them. My foster mom says I’m perfect on leash, which I personally think deserves a gold star. Now, I’ll be honest with you about something. I’m a little cautious when it comes to people. I warm up slowly. It’s not that I don’t want to love you — I do — it just takes me a little time to believe that new people are going to be kind to me. Other dogs though? Big ones, little ones… I’m cool with them. I actually feel pretty comfortable around my dog friends. Once I start trusting someone, I tend to follow them around the house like a quiet little shadow. I’m not quite a cuddler yet, but my foster mom says she sees progress every day. With patience, kindness, and a little TLC, she thinks I’ll get there. Right now I’d probably do best in a calm home without children while I keep building my confidence and learning that the world is a safe place. If you’re the kind of person who understands that some dogs just need a little extra time to feel secure… I think we might be a really good match. And I promise — once I know you’re my person, I’ll be very loyal. If you’d like to meet me, please fill out an application at www.northstarpets.org and make sure you mention my name — Timothy TX. I’ll be waiting...
