Timmy was spotted over several weeks in Limassol and animal lovers tried to gain his trust. It wasn’t easy but they succeeded..

He was totally unkempt, with his long coat dishevelled, and so the first thing was a new hairstyle! Now Timmy looks beautiful. His fur is silky and long and with proper care, much like the coat of a Yorkshire terrier.  What a handsome fellow.

Timmy is wary of strangers and still needs some time before he gains full confidence, but he is making progress. He loves to be petted.

Unfortunately, Timmy is a bit of an escape artist, so he needs a home with a secure garden, because he loves to set off alone on field trips!!  From time to time he has strayed but we think once he has his own proper home he will settle down and never want to leave..

In his foster Timmy became very stressed because as there were too many other dogs there. He does not get along with other male dogs and which gives him even more stress but he gets along fine with the girls!

Currently Timmy lives in the PAWS Shelter because the foster home with lots of dogs was just too stressful for him. At the shelter he lives with 4 female dogs and has no problems at all with that situation. Also he is gainingmore and more confidenc with the helpers there and is more willing to interact with them.

His ideal home would be as a single dog or with a small female dog friend. We want Timmy to go with people with experience of dogs who can consolidate his development to date and pave the way for him to live comfortably in a family. Timmy has a lot of love to give  and will be a very great family dog. Since he lived a long time ‘on the road’ we do not know what experience he has with children, so we prefer families without young children but maybe with older children.

If Timmy hascaptured your heart then let us know.
