Description:
Tommy is an absolute Sweet Heart! He loves everyone including my 2 dogs and 10 year old cat. He is excited when he gets to meet new people and loves the attention. He is treat motivated and very smart. He has learned sit and shake relatively quickly. He is now working on sit before going outside and before coming back into the house. He would do great in obedience classes to help him become the best dog he can be. He likes to play rough and tumble with the other dogs and runs circles around the yard with my Border Collie mix. He has figured out that my Flat-coat Retriever is the pack leader and would rather not play so rough. Tommy now respects his boundaries. He loves toys of all kinds and enjoys a good ole meat bone too. He is great at keeping himself occupied with his toyes and bones when you are busy. At other times he seems content just lying at your fee. He is also getting better walking on the leash. He chooses to sleep in his kennel at night if the door is open. Tommy does go in his kennel when we go to work. He barks a bit at first so he wouldn't do well in an apartment at this point. Tommy will make a wonderful addition to any family. Could he be the perfect companion you're searching for? Just click on the Adopt Application button below.Thank You!

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
