Meet Timberlake! This boy is beyond ready to find his family. Aside from being really ridiculously good looking, Tim is sweet, super smart, and bonds deeply with his people. Tim has spent the last few months in a foster home, and he's coming on leaps and bounds! As a young dog he still needs structure and guidance to set him up for success, but he's a quick study. He soaks up training like a sponge: obedience, tricks, nose games - you name it, he's in! He's also making progress navigating the sights and sounds of city life, gaining confidence and learning to check in with his person when he's not sure about something. And he LOVES to play - tug is life, so you'll have a great way to have fun and give him plenty of exercise and enrichment even in smaller spaces. While he's game for whatever you're up to, he's also developing a nice off-switch and can happily entertain himself with a toy or chew. He settles well in his crate, has taken very readily to sleeping in bed at night (often with all four paws in the air), and with a good routine and a lunch break, he's comfortably handling the workday while his foster family is out - as an added bonus, he has a super cute "welcome home" dance. He's also been an easy passenger on road trips, crating up in the car for adventures to parks and beaches, where he likes to put his exceptional nose to work. Tim is still learning about the world, and he'll do best with dog-savvy adopters who are excited to continue his training and help him build confidence and good habits as he grows up. He's a funny, clever pup with a TON of potential; a solid balance of work, rest, and play will help set him up to be a fantastic little sidekick. Animal Haven's team will be there to help him with a smooth transition and he is a foster-to-adopt candidate. Think Timberlake might be your guy? If you’d like to meet him or learn more about his personality, please reach out!
