What kind of home would be best for me? Tim Duncan is suitable for a home or an apartment and would do well with a family or single adopters and prefer humans who are home more than they are away. He's an easy going, mature dog who is looking for gentle, calm owners who will unconditionally provide love and support for the pair. He wants humans who have low expectations of him, and a firm belief that your dogs are the most important creatures on earth!
What is my personality like? Meet Tim Duncan - a quiet, sweet Chihuahua with the heart the size of a lion and the body of a baked potato. He is the gentle, and thoughtful type who prefers to observe the world from the safety of his cozy spot! While Tim may be a bit reserved at first, once he feels safe, his soft eyes and tender heart will melt yours, He's a "let's all sit quietly and watch the world together" kind of guy. He is looking for a patient, loving home where he can continue to blossom.
Tim Duncan enjoys things like yummy treats, back scratches, frolicking in the sun and following other dogs around of course! If you're willing to give him a little time and patience, you'll uncover a world of sweetness. He desperately needs adopters who will appreciate his quiet, gentle presence.
Here's what Tim Duncan's previous owners had to say about him...."He is a big personality in a small package. He is spunky and loves to take a walk on a leash and does well when given time. He enjoys just being with his person whether that is hanging out on the couch asleep at their head or being their co pilot on an adventure. He is sometimes a grump but that is just his age. He has a little pur that maybe interpreted incorrectly when he is happy. He will sing with you such as happy birthday or sympathy howl with a tiny human if he is connected to them. He is loyal but does vocally greet people and collect their pets and love."
If you're looking for endless love and entertainment, look no further!
How do I act when I first meet new people? Tim Duncan is a low key dog. He is gentle and quiet. Don't expect him to run up and greet you - he's more likely to wait and watch and approach on his terms. Once he determines you're okay, he will be very happy for you to shower him with pets and affection.

House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
