Tiny Tim - "Why is everybody afraid of me?"
It doesn’t seem quite fair to me. I was left to die in a boarded
up trailer in mid-February. It was freezing cold and I struggled
to survive. I clung on to my mommy for dear life staying close
to all my siblings. All six of them died next to me except my
sister and my mom. I did my best to be strong but I was very
much afraid. We were found just in the nick of time. I heard
the voice of the woman who would save us; she was calling my
mommy a hero. I wasn’t sure what that meant but I knew it was
good. The woman was kind and gentle and for the first time in
my little tiny life I began to feel there was hope.

We were taken to a veterinarian who said my sister had a
severe deformity but could live a normal happy life. They said
that my mom looked like she was going to make it, but they
looked very troubled about me. The nice doctor kept putting
something cold to my heart and was listening. She said I had
something wrong with my heart. I thought to myself “of course
I do”. My heart is shattered, broken to pieces and bleeding. But

The Truth About
Pit Bulls
No one wants to help even a “regular” dog with a heart condition. Except for a few angels… Micky at
Roscommon Shelter called everywhere possible but no one would help, some even laughed and said a Pitty
Puppy, are you crazy? But Micky was determined. Coming from a very small town with the economy being so
bad she couldn’t scrape up any funds, she couldn’t even find a foster home for me.
So, she finally tried a place called “Almost Home”.
I was welcomed with open arms. I was taken
directly to my foster Dad. A real home. It
was warm and cozy and I felt love… My
foster dad has taken real good care of me.
"Tiny Tim at MSU, getting ready for his
surgery. What a brave little guy."
Tiny Timmy is by far the sweetest puppy dog you
will ever know. He is kind, intelligent,
affectionate, playful, and now healthy. Why people
continue to poison other people’s minds about a
certain kind of breed is so very unfair. Tiny Tim
deserves the best of the best. After all he has
been through he will only go to the best. Please,
Please, Please find it in your heart to apply online
for our darling Tiny Tim who so much deserves to
be treated like a “regular” dog and not be
stereotyped as “Bully Breed.”
If you can’t adopt please help Almost Home pay his
medical bills from MSU, which cost us thousands.
Any monetary donation will help Tiny Tim as well as
our other homeless animals.

the doctor didn’t say that. She said I have a severe and diastolic heart murmur. She said I will die if I
don’t have a very expensive heart surgery.
Almost Home made sure I had the best medical care
possible at MSU. It was real fancy over there. My
surgery was a great success…but now I need a home...
"About 5 months ago, Tin Tim was just a
little more than a handful."
"Tiny Tim laying happily on his foster couch"
"Tiny Tim just after he was saved from the trailer,
he was 4 months old and weighing 4 pounds. He should
have been 16 pounds."
The volunteer lady started crying real hard
and she picked my tiny little body up
weighing only 4 pounds and started hugging
me. She called me Tiny Tim because of the
little boy in “A Christmas Carol” who had a
defective heart too. He had his surgery and
lived happily ever after.

Why can’t I? Because no one wants to help a
Pitty Puppy.
