My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing Tiny Tim!



Affectionate Goofy Active Social 



Hi there! My name is Tiny Tim, and let me tell you—my personality is as big as my paws! I’m a cool, confident Great Dane who knows exactly what I want in life: love, structure, and a strong, compassionate leader to guide me. My outgoing nature and magnetic charm make me a social butterfly, always eager to make new friends and brighten everyone’s day. I thrive in an environment where I can be my best self, surrounded by people who appreciate my larger-than-life spirit.



When it comes to energy, I’m a true dynamo! Whether I’m going on a walk, running alongside my favorite human, or breaking into the ultimate zoomies in a wide-open space, I embrace life with boundless joy. Adventure is my middle name, and I can’t wait to share it with my forever family.



I may be deaf, but that doesn’t stop me from being a star pupil. I’ve trained at the Becket School of Canine Training, where I’ve mastered commands through visual cues and touch. The best part? My training comes with lifetime support to ensure I keep growing and thriving with my forever family. I’m ready to show off my skills and learn even more with you!



While I am ok with meeting other dogs in public, I prefer my personal space at home, so I’d do best as the only pet. Cats? Not my thing either. I’m happiest when I have my humans all to myself, and I promise I’ll reward you with endless love and loyalty. A physical fence is a must to keep me safe while I explore my surroundings. If you’ve got kids, I’d do best with older ones—teenagers who understand and respect my space.



Here’s what makes me happiest:




  • Long walks, runs, and outdoor adventures that let me stretch my legs and explore the world.

  • Breaking into zoomies—it’s my favorite way to show off my playful side!

  • Learning new things and practicing my training skills—it keeps me sharp and confident.

  • Spending quality time with my humans. I’m all about building strong bonds!



What I’m not a fan of:




  • Sharing my home with other pets—I like to have my space.

  • Environments without structure—I thrive when I know the rules and expectations.



I’m looking for a home with:




  • A physical fence to keep me safe during my outdoor adventures.

  • A strong, loving leader who will provide the structure and guidance I need.

  • Teenagers or adults who understand my needs and love me for who I am.

  • An active family who will embrace my adventurous spirit and keep me engaged.



Fun fact about me: I might be deaf, but my ability to communicate and connect with my humans is second to none. My training, enthusiasm, and loving nature make me a one-of-a-kind companion. If you’re ready for a larger-than-life best friend, I can’t wait to meet you and start our adventure together!
