Meet Timmy, our adoptable pet of the week. He is a gentle soul looking for love.

Timmy is a sweet senior toy poodle who came to us as a stray. We estimate he’s around 10 years old. Timmy is blind and likely deaf, and he arrived with a severe eye infection and heavily matted fur, which our team is gently working to comb out.

He may also be experiencing some dementia, but it’s difficult to know for sure at this stage. What we do know is that Timmy is a gentle, resilient little soul who deserves love, comfort, and safety in his golden years.

Timmy is currently being cared for in a loving foster home. If you have the heart and patience to welcome this special boy into your life, we’d be happy to arrange a meet and greet with his foster caregiver.

Timmy may have special needs, but he has a heart full of love to give. Could you be his hero?

Timmy will be available for adoption through the Burlington Humane Society.
