Tommy's Story

Tommy is an eight-year-old Tri Sheltie. Tommy joined us after his previous owners were involved in a tragic accident. He previously lived with various dogs, cats, and farm animals. While initially reserved in his foster home, he has since warmed up and shown his true Sheltie spirit.<br/><br/>Tommy is highly intelligent and quickly learned the household routine by following the other Shelties in his foster home. For this reason, we believe it is important that he has a canine companion in his forever home. He is also very cat friendly.<br/><br/>Currently, Tommy weighs 46 pounds. He is quite solid and very heavy to pick up, so his foster family is dedicated to helping him lose weight. It is vital that his new family continues this weight loss journey. As he was likely sedentary in his previous home, staying active will be key to his future health.<br/><br/>Tommy is very gentle and sweet. While he walks beautifully on a leash without pulling, he prefers short walks and will not potty while leashed. Therefore, a fenced yard is important so he can roam and explore safely.
