Morning, friend! Timothy TX here.
I'm deaf, half-blind, and have the emotional range of a houseplant, but I'm genuinely excellent company if you appreciate comfortable silence.
My notes say I'm a world-class cuddler, and I'd like that on the record.
I'm a seasoned soul, which is a fancy way of saying I've perfected the art of the afternoon nap and the grateful sigh.
Born and (almost) raised right here in Boonton.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Halloween — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.
Thanks for spending a minute with me. I'll be right here, tail ready, hoping it's you. — Timothy TX
- Vaccinated
- House-trained
- Good with dogs
About Timothy TX
Hi. I'm Timothy. Or… at least that's what everyone tells me, because I can't hear a thing. I'm about 8 years old, can't hear a damn thing, have some vision impairment, and apparently I have what my foster mom calls "the personality of a wall." I don't really know what that means, but everyone seems to agree. I don't do the adorable head tilts. I don't get the zoomies. I don't wag my tail every time you walk into the room. Most of the time I just kind of… stand there… looking at you with my blank little face. If you're waiting for me to entertain you, you're probably going to be waiting a while. Honestly? I'm just a very quiet, very mellow little guy. Life wasn't always easy for me. I ended up in a high-kill shelter in Texas in pretty rough shape. My skin was in bad condition, my coat was thin, and I even had a large lump on my hip that needed to be removed. Thankfully, some wonderful people took care of all of that, and now I'm safe with NorthStar while I wait for a forever family. One thing I do genuinely enjoy is going for walks. My foster mom says I'm excellent on a leash, and I have to admit, I know exactly what I'm doing out there. People take me a little longer. Since I can't hear and don't see perfectly, new situations can make me a bit unsure. I like gentle people who move slowly and let me figure things out at my own pace. Other dogs are just fine with me and, once I settle in, I'll quietly follow my person from room to room like a little shadow. I'm not a snuggly, over-the-top affectionate dog. I'm not going to demand attention or make a big production out of anything. I'm simply… Timothy. If your idea of the perfect companion is a calm, peaceful little guy who asks for very little, enjoys his walks, and just wants a safe, predictable home where he can be himself, then maybe we're exactly what each other needs. If you'd like to meet me, please fill out an application at www.northstarpets.org and be sure to ask for Timothy TX. I'll probably just stand there looking at you… …but that's kind of my thing. If you'd like to meet me, please fill out an application at www.northstarpets.org and make sure you mention my name — Timothy TX. I'll be waiting...
