Welcome Timber!

Timber came to Murci's Mission when his former owner could no longer care for him. He is a cattle dog mix with an estimsted birthdate of 01/25/2025. He weighs 32lbs.

Timber is very very lively and full of energy and excitement. He is dog/cat/kid friendly, but is still and intense herding breed dog who is task oriented and made to get sh*t done. This means he will need a guardian who will make efforts to bring purpose and enrichment to his life. Without that, he is likely to act out.

Timber walks chaotically on leash and is fine in his crate or loose in the house. He rides fine in the car after 5 or so minutes of barking like a fire alarm.

Need some excitement and joy in your life? Timber may just be the medicine for you. Timber comes neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. His adoption fee is $200 and includes his leash, collar, ID tag, food sample, medical records, and complimentary consultation with a trainer to help both parties stick the landing!
