Meet Tommy

Meet Tommy! When Tommy first arrived at the rescue, he was completely shut down—coming from a puppy mill, he was understandably unsure of humans and the big world around him. But with a little patience and love, Tommy is coming out of his shell and making tremendous strides toward trusting people! He now proudly ventures outside on his own, happily explores the yard, and loves following the rest of the pup pack around during playtime. He’s even started eagerly engaging with our volunteers, trotting over to seek out a quick lick and a few sweet pets. While he will still need a loving family willing to go at his pace and build that bond of trust, Tommy's brave little heart is showing just how ready he is for his forever home. Tommy's Ideal Home Because he is working hard to build his bravery, his forever home needs a couple of very important things: A Canine Companion (Required): He absolutely must have another confident, friendly dog in his new home. He learns best by watching other dogs, and having a brave canine brother or sister will help show him the ropes and teach him that humans are actually pretty great! The Vibe: A quiet, low-traffic, and predictable household is essential for him. A home without young children or loud noises will give him the peace he need to slowly step out of my shell. The Perfect Humans: He is looking for a patient, understanding adopter who understands that trust takes time. If you are willing to let him move at his own pace without rushing him, the reward of seeing him blossom will be completely worth it! Adoption Fee $595
