A volunteer writes: Surrendered due to “personal problems” we’re told that Tommy is friendly to everyone, is housetrained, knows ‘sit’ and ‘lie down’ and is active and loves to play. Check, check, check and check!! Happy to be out for a walk, this handsome fellow with his long elegant legs went potty as soon as we were out the door, and then showed off nice leash manners as we walked to the park. Gorgeous in his well groomed coat, his tail wags as we walk, he’s calm as we walk past other dogs and lots of school kids picnicking in the park. Seeing a bird stops him in his tracks, but no pulling and we continue on. To enjoys a quick cuddle and a butt scratch, doing the ‘butt scratch shuffle’ which is beyond cute! In group play he’s social and playful having a “rough and rowdy” play style. When our walk was over he jumped right back into his kennel and lay down. Tommy is an impressive, well mannered youngster who’s looking for an active home with people who are ready to love him forever. He’ll certainly return that love tenfold. Ask to meet him today!
