A volunteer writes: ‘Tis the season of gift giving, but an animal is not a gift. A wallet is a gift, a necktie is a gift, a sweater is a gift. Tommy was given to someone as a gift and that person cannot keep him. So, we are ‘gifted’ with this amazingly calm puppy who needs to find a home. He’s gorgeous, friendly, plays gently with children, enjoys playing with balls and chew toys, is housetrained when walked regularly and is well behaved when left home alone. I met Tommy when he was in group playing with two other dogs, and saw how quiet and respectful he was of others. We then walked to the park Tommy showing off his lovely leash manners, and posing for photos very seriously. Calm and well behaved for a puppy he’s gorgeous and quietly friendly. He’s hoping that his gift this season will be a new home with people that will love him forever. Meet him today.
