Tim describes visiting an animal shelter looking for a dog, mocking the damaged rescue dogs, the humorless shelter staff, and admitting he only wants a purebred puppy because he knows he'd abandon a problem dog immediately.

In this bit10 moments
  • Tim describes visiting a dog adoption center where a returned husky had been abandoned by LA owners who wouldn't throw a frisbee with it.
  • When asked about important dog qualities, Tim jokes one that can swallow the most cocaine, and the shelter worker does not appreciate the humor.
  • Tim admits he's the guy who would bring a dog right back at the first sign of any problem.
  • Shelter workers make every dog sound horrible when Tim shows up because they know he'll return it within hours.
  • He explains he can't adopt a dog right now due to upcoming tour dates across Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Chicago, and Austin.
  • Tim confesses he wants a purebred puppy who's very cute and happy, despite knowing this is controversial.
  • Rescue dogs are losers and shouldn't be around children because many will attack them, Tim argues.
  • Shelter workers should fabricate better origin stories for rescue dogs instead of saying they don't know where they came from.
  • Purebred dogs have major health problems and short lifespans, so Tim wants a St. Bernard that only lives eight years.
  • Tim calls rescue dogs homeless baby killers of uncertain origin that he wouldn't bring into his home, though COVID adoptions have reduced shelter executions.
