Meet Timo
Male
DOB: October 06, 2025
Weight: 14 pounds (small)
Breed: Pug Mix
Neutered (Fixed): Pending
Vaccines: Up to Date
Microchipped
Healthy & Adoption-Ready
Personality, Breed Info & Expectations
Timo is a charming young dog with a happy personality, playful spirit, and affectionate nature. At 8 months old, he is still very much a puppy and is at a wonderful age for bonding, learning, and discovering the world around him.
He enjoys attention, companionship, and being involved in family activities. Timo is eager to learn and would thrive in a home that can provide structure, guidance, and plenty of love as he continues to mature.
As a Pug mix, Timo may show traits such as:
A loving and people-oriented personality
Playful and affectionate energy
Strong attachment to his family
Social and companion-focused behavior
Intelligence and eagerness to learn
Pug mixes are often devoted companions who enjoy being close to their people and thrive when included as part of the family.
Timo would thrive in a home prepared for:
Continued puppy training and guidance
Daily walks and exercise
Mental stimulation and enrichment
Positive socialization experiences
Structure, consistency, and routine
A lifelong commitment to his physical and emotional well-being
Young dogs require time, patience, training, supervision, and financial commitment as they continue growing and developing.
Training, Adjustment & What to Expect
Many rescue dogs come from uncertain beginnings and may not have had structure, socialization, or training before arriving at rescue.
Because of this, most rescue dogs arrive with only basic training at best, and some may have had no formal training at all. Young dogs especially still require continued guidance, structure, patience, and supervision as they mature.
The rescue environment itself also does not always allow for extensive one-on-one training. While we work hard to provide safety, structure, socialization, and basic guidance, adopters should expect to continue training and support after adoption.
Adopting a young dog means being prepared for:
Potty training reinforcement and occasional accidents
Leash training and obedience work
Jumping and playful puppy behavior
Continued socialization and confidence-building
Daily exercise, structure, and supervision
Routine veterinary care
Financial commitment throughout the dog's lifetime
Timo will benefit from:
Positive reinforcement training
Daily structure and routine
Continued socialization and exposure
Exercise and mental stimulation
Patience, consistency, and supervision
Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule:
3 days to decompress
3 weeks to learn your routine
3 months to fully feel at home
With patience, guidance, and commitment, dogs like Timo blossom into deeply loyal lifelong companions.
Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care
Owning a dog is a lifelong commitment that includes training, daily exercise, companionship, routine veterinary care, financial responsibility, and emotional commitment throughout every stage of life.
Timo will need:
Daily walks, exercise, and interaction
Continued training and guidance
Routine veterinary care and wellness exams
Preventative care including flea, tick, and heartworm prevention
Proper nutrition and weight management
Mental stimulation and enrichment
A safe, stable, indoor living environment
Because Timo is still a young dog, consistency and structure are especially important in helping him mature into a confident and well-balanced adult dog.
As a Pug mix, care should also be taken during hot weather, and adopters should monitor for overheating during exercise and outdoor activities.
Timo is an indoor family dog and is not to be chained or left outside.
