Tommy is easy to fall in love with and is a very sweet and happy boy. Despite having a rough go at life, Tommy is always wagging his tail and wanting to be loved. With that, Tommy does like his boundaries to be respected at times, but he is a very vocal boy - so he will let you know when he needs space.
Tommy does suffer from a heart condition and bad allergies which are managed through twice a day medication and a monthly shot. In addition to that, he has almost no teeth! The ones he does have will be taken out as soon as he is cleared for surgery...but because of this, Tommy is on an all fresh/wet food diet.
Tommy is house trained and does well being left alone for several hours. He loves to go outside, sniff and is slowing learning how to play with toys. He is obsessed with food and can sometimes be possessive of his meals (only with other animals it seems). Tommy has big emotions which means he gets very excited and can be stubborn. He is a bit of a barker so he would make the perfect guard dog, but he has been learning to manage this with training at his foster.
His ideal home would be someone who is home more often than not and who can care and provide for his health conditions. He also is pet friendly and would do better in a house with another companion. Tommy is a very special and loving boy who is looking for a home that will cherish him and give him endless pets because he is deserving of the best!
