Timothee’s journey to D’Arcy’s Animal Rescue Centre began in Northern Manitoba with uncertainty and illness. Thanks to a community that refused to give up on him, his story became one of strength, compassion, and hope.

Rescue

Timothee Paw-lamet, a two-year-old German Shepherd cross, was abandoned in a Northern Manitoba community. A kind foster family cared for him for six months until D’Arcy’s Animal Rescue Centre could make space to bring him in. When he arrived in March 2025,  unfortunately he tested positive for heartworm, a serious and life-threatening condition.

Recovery

His treatment cost thousands of dollars and required months of rest in a quiet environment. Staff and volunteers provided patient, consistent care while he regained his strength. Many other shelters would not have had the resources and commitment to give him that chance.

“Seeing him slowly gain strength reminded us why this work is so important,” says Annie Johnston, Shelter Manager. “Every animal deserves the time and care to heal.”

A New Beginning

By October 2025, Timothee was fully recovered and ready for adoption. He found a family who adores him, a testament to the compassion and commitment that define D’Arcy’s Animal Rescue Centre in Winnipeg.
