Story
Meet Tommy!
Hello, my name is Tommy! I’m a 6-month-old mix of Australian cattle dog, American Staffordshire terrier, and hound, weighing in at 16 pounds of pure joy and personality. I’m a lively, affectionate pup who loves meeting people of all ages and sizes, and I’ll always greet you with a wagging tail and plenty of kisses. I adore belly rubs, snuggling in laps, and spending quality time with my favorite humans.
I’m at the perfect age to adopt since I’m still a puppy with playful energy but have already learned my basic commands like “no,” “off,” “sit,” and “wait.” I’m fully housebroken and past the nippy/teething stage, so I’m ready to settle into a loving home without the extra challenges of early puppyhood. I also get along wonderfully with cats, respecting their space and coexisting peacefully with them in my foster home.
I thrive on companionship and enjoy playing chase, tug-of-war, and zooming around the yard with my brother, Timmy, and the older, bigger dogs in my foster home. Despite being the runt of my litter, I’m the leader when it comes to sibling adventures! When playtime is over, I’m all about cuddling—whether it’s on the couch, in a dog bed, or better yet, right in your lap.
I sleep peacefully in my crate at night, waking up accident-free and ready to start the day. I’m a fast learner, especially when treats are involved, and I walk well on a leash, though I’d prefer the freedom of a fenced yard to run and explore.
My personality is the perfect balance of playful and affectionate. I bring a lively energy to the home but know how to relax and enjoy quiet moments with my family. I’d make an amazing addition to any home looking for a loving, outgoing, and fun companion.
If you’re ready to meet your new best friend, I can’t wait to fill your days with love, laughter, and plenty of snuggles. Could I be the one for you?
