Tom

Tom is an estimated five year old, 14 pound Applehead Chihuahua who was found with another Chihuahua Jerry, at an Autozone on the South side of San Antonio, Texas, racing across the parking lot to a hot dog stand for food. They were both covered in fleas and ticks, not neutered, and of course... no microchip.<br/><br/>Tom is a mellow boy who loves to cuddle and snooze the day away. Put another way, he is very, very, very lazy- if allowed to sleep all day... he will. This is the perfect dog for someone out there! He is not one to play with dogs or toys. He loves human food (but watch your fingers). Tom will hang out with you in the bed if you pick him up to snuggle, otherwise he's pretty independent. He is good with other dogs, but doesn't play, just coexists. He did have one friend- Jerry, the dog he was found with who has already been adopted in Colorado and would love to reconnect. Also good with kids.<br/><br/>Tom is healthy, fully vaccinated and neutered now. His neuter was complicated because he's a double cryptorchid (both testicles never descended) and he required four rotten teeth to be extracted to prevent a painful infection.<br/><br/>Tom is currently living in a foster home in San Antonio, Texas, awaiting an adopter or open foster home in Colorado to bring him up and into their home- the next transport arrives January 9th!<br/><br/>***Tom is being posted on behalf of our partner rescue in Texas- the process and adoption will go through them. The adoption fee does not include the transport fee (usually $125-200).***<br/><br/>Red Fern Animal Rescue offers a two week foster to adopt trial in your home before finalizing the adoption to ensure the animal is the right fit for you, everyone in the home, human & animal, and vice versa.<br/><br/>Red Fern Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foster-based animal rescue in Denver that saves animals from abandonment and neglect in South Texas for new lives in Colorado.
