Description:

When we first met Tiny Tim, he wasn’t doing very well. His former owner had brought him and his sister, Tinkerbell, to our rescue seeking help as both pups were very sick. The pups seemed lethargic, didn’t want to eat or drink and kept throwing up anything that they did try to digest; all the signs of having contracted parvo. At first, Tinkerbell’s symptoms were more severe than Tiny Tim’s and he would comfort her during her really bad days. Once Tinkerbell got to feeling better, Tiny Tim took a turn for the worse and she repaid his kindness by becoming his comforter. This was just the first display of exactly how attached these two are and most likely created a stronger bond between them. Of course the pair pulled through their scary and potentially deadly ordeal with flying colors and have made a full recovery.

Tiny Tim has a well-balanced mix of personalities: he’s very active, playful and loves to run as fast as his little legs will go. At the same time, he is submissive towards his sister, letting her take the lead in most things and turns to mush in your arms when being held. He loves the affection that he gets and is always happy to show you how much he loves and appreciates the kindness shown to him.

As of 6/29, Tiny Tim has received 2/3 of his first year “puppy” vaccines; bordetella and rabies vaccinations; been de-wormed and treated against tapeworms and parasites twice and started and kept up to date with his monthly preventatives. A microchip will accompany his adoption. Tiny Tim’s adopter must agree to having him neutered once he reaches 6 months of age and provide proof of such to our rescue. They must also be prepared to provide Tiny Tim all of his basic training.

Applications for the adoption of Tiny Tim should be submitted at socorescue.com (no need to register or login)
