Timmy Turner

Meet Timmy Turner!

Timmy Turner is a 1-year-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix (at least that's our best guess!) wrapped up in a tiny 7-pound package of scruffy cuteness. With his adorable wiry coat, oversized Chihuahua ears, expressive little face, and curious personality, Timmy looks like he walked straight out of a storybook.

This little guy may be small, but he has a big personality and an even bigger sense of adventure. One of Timmy's favorite things is finding the highest spot in the room. If there's a couch, he'll be on the back of it. If there's a lap, he'll happily claim it. If there's a shoulder available, even better. His foster jokes that he acts a little bit like a cat, and honestly, they're not wrong. Timmy loves observing the world from above and keeping an eye on everything that's going on around him.

Timmy is currently learning that life can be pretty wonderful. While he may take a minute to assess new people and situations, he's a confident little explorer who likes to investigate the world at his own pace. He's not the type to immediately throw himself into every situationinstead, he likes to gather the facts first and then decide how he feels about things. We think that's pretty smart.

In his foster home, Timmy enjoys being close to his people and is perfectly lap-sized for movie nights, work-from-home days, and cozy evenings on the couch. Once he's comfortable, he's a sweet companion who enjoys simply being near his favorite humans.

Timmy has done well meeting dogs of all sizes, from fellow small scruffy pups to much larger dogs weighing 6080 pounds. While he's not particularly interested in roughhousing or playgroups, he's polite, respectful, and knows how to coexist beautifully with other dogs. His ideal canine companion would be another calm, respectful dog who understands that personal space is important sometimes.

Timmy also met a kitty friend and did very well. He was curious enough to investigate but respectful enough to move on when the cat wasn't interested. He free-roamed comfortably around the cat and mostly decided that the cat wasn't all that exciting. Because every home is different, we would still recommend a slow introduction and possibly an overnight trial for homes with resident cats, but Timmy showed all the signs we like to see.

Timmy can live as an only dog or with other dogs. If he shares a home with canine friends, he should be fed separately since he prefers not to share meals. Fortunately, he's easy to manage and otherwise coexists well with other pets.

His perfect home would be one that appreciates quirky little dogs, cozy couch snuggles, and a companion with a little bit of personality. He's the kind of dog who will make you laugh with his cat-like habits, charm you with his scruffy good looks, and keep you company wherever life takes you.

If you're looking for a tiny best friend with adorable ears, a curious spirit, and enough character to fill a dog ten times his size, Timmy Turner might just be your perfect match.
