Tommy Boy is a fun-loving, social, and independent American Foxhound, who is looking for an experienced owner who knows how to handle his free-spirited ways.
While he might look like the perfect cuddle buddy, Tommy is more of a belly-scratch enthusiast than a lap dog, and he’s got a mischievous side that loves a good adventure (especially when it involves wandering off into the woods).
He’s a hound—which means his nose is his best friend, and his instincts are strong. So strong, in fact, that he might just take off on a scent mission if you give him half a chance! A fenced-in yard is a must, or else you’ll be chasing after him, wondering where he’s off to next. But don’t let that scare you—he’s incredibly smart and responds well to clear boundaries and consistent training.
Tommy Boy needs an experienced dog owner who understands the importance of setting clear expectations and sticking to them. If you say “sit,” he’s got to know you mean it—and if you give him a command, you better follow through! Building trust with Tommy is essential, and once you’ve earned it, he’ll be loyal, loving, and ready for adventure.
What Tommy Needs:
- Experienced owners who are firm, fair, and consistent with training
- A secure, fenced yard where he can satisfy his hound instincts and explore safely
- Someone who’s patient, knows how to set boundaries, and is ready to hold him accountable for every command
- A commitment to training: Tommy will need someone who will work with him to ensure he follows the rules and feels safe and secure in his new home
Tommy is a fun-loving, intelligent pup, who will bring tons of energy and excitement to the right family. With the right guidance, Tommy Boy will thrive and show you just how much love and loyalty he has to offer.
