PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — Timber is ready to be adopted from Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control. The 9-year-old dog has been in the shelter for more than two months.
Right now, the shelter has a campaign to help "Clear Kennel 1."
The shelter says Timber has a high energy level, but he’s good with dogs and children. Learn more about Timber by clicking here.
Melanie Perazzo says, “As you can see he has an amazing coat, such a beautiful dog and such a beautiful personality.”
Timber knows some tricks, and he’ll be happy to sit or shake with a paw if you ask nicely with a treat.
“Very treat motivated, a very sweet guy. He loves to play with other dogs, he has a good amount of energy,” Perazzo said. “He loves pets, loves cuddles, he’s just a great guy. Definitely needs a great home.”
Timber would love a nice yard to run around in with toys and balls, he has high energy. He is also patient and gentle when he receives a treat.
Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control is overcrowded and there's a great need for adoptions. If you can't adopt, you can consider fostering a pet like Jackson, or donating items that will make the pets more comfortable through the shelter's Amazon Wish List.
Currently, the shelter is offering a number of incentives to families who adopt. Adoptions, microchips, vaccines and tags are at a greatly reduced fee.
PBCACC says each adoption will ensure the pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and have county license tags. Adopters also receive a free Health Care Certificate that offers a free exam for their pet from participating veterinarians, with a savings up to $500, and a bag of Hill’s Science Diet pet food.
