2010’s first Pet of the Month is our very special Timba, of Prospect Heights. Not only is this pretty lady the sweetest dog on the block, but she is a Healer and a wise old soul. Even though she can’t move around like she used to, her spirit moves everyone around her.
Timba gets a treat-filled Doggy Bag, a surprise gift, and her mom receives a free 8 x 10 color print of her!

About me: For the first 6 years of my life I had to live outside either tied to a tree or tied up to another dog, I was very thin weighing in about 55 pounds, a rescue group found out about me and was able to convince my then owner to give me up. I was placed in a shelter until my new mommy came along and rescued me. We just celebrated our 6 year anniversary together! My life has changed in so many ways since I was adopted by Jennifer; I gained 25 pounds, I was able to be inside and sleep anywhere I wanted and I became a Certified Therapy Dog and went to visit sick children in the hospital. I am also a Shaman dog. Just recently I discovered I have degenerative spinal myelopathy, it is a neurological Disease and there is no cure even with everything that I went through and am going through now, I am the happiest dog in the world!
My Sitter: Natasha is my sitter and I love her very much, she has so much compassion and patience with me since I don’t have much use of my back legs anymore, Since I can’t walk that much after I do my business we get to sit on the park bench and enjoy the sites of the people walking by. Thank you Natasha for everything!
Favorite Toy: Anything that squeaks.
My Best Friend: My best friend is my mommy but in the animal world I would have to say it is my brother and sister; Bogey & Sydney both of which are cats.
Favorite place to nap: On my dog bed which looks like a couch.
The Perfect Day for me would be: To be able to walk with my Mommy & Victoria to Grand Army Plaza and sit by the fountain.
