Timber's Story
Timber is approximately 5 years old and came to us from animal control after his humans fell on hard times and could no longer care for him properly. He was left outside a lot on a chain. Despite his past, Timber is a sweet boy and is ready for a loving family with air-conditioned home where he can get all the affection and tummy rubs. <br/><br/>He may be able to live with a calm female dog companion. He would love a fenced in yard to run and play. He is an affection boy and does not realize how big and strong he is. No small kids under 10 due to his size. <br/><br/>***********************************<br/>If you are interested in ADOPTING or FOSTERING, please complete an application by cutting & pasting the following link: <br/>https://form.jotform.com/60794585351161<br/><br/>Or visit CHAAMP.org to access the Adoption/Foster link and learn about the process. https://www.chaamp.org/adoption-process<br/><br/>Your application tells us about your lifestyle and helps us find a potential match for you and your family.
