About Thomas

✨ Meet Thomas, the incredible little warrior! This lovable furball came from the county shelter’s euthanasia list in August 2023, but let me tell you, this is a story of resilience that will tug at your heartstrings! ❤️ When he first arrived, he was in dire straits—so underweight that he couldn’t even stand, battling severe pneumonia from a weakened immune system. Can you imagine? With the loving care of a dedicated medical team, Thomas underwent an array of tests—including an MRI and CT scan. It turned out this brave soul was dealing with not just pneumonia, but also rampant valley fever and a nasty condition called fungal osteomyelitis. 😢 But here’s the silver lining: his conditions are totally treatable! And thanks to the amazing TLC he received, he’s overcome pneumonia and is steadily gaining weight. Oh, how this sweet pup has blossomed! 🌷 Thomas is now living his best life in a foster home, where he loves nothing more than cozying up between his foster parents' legs while rocking adorable pajamas. Yes, you read that right—pajamas! 😄 He adores other dogs and cats, yet his heart belongs to his humans. This gentle soul is house-trained, walks proudly on a leash, and is picking up basic commands like a champ! Now, let’s talk about what Thomas needs in his forever home. His ideal family would be a quieter household without children, where someone is home often to accompany him on leisurely strolls. As you can imagine, he takes his time; moving a bit slower and with some stiffness. And yes, he will require ongoing treatment for his valley fever, but don’t worry! His condition isn’t contagious, and the rescue will take care of his medication costs through a fantastic foster-to-adopt program! 💕 Isn’t it time for Thomas to find a family who will cherish him? Let’s help him continue to thrive! Apply to meet Thomas today—the special little engine that could and DID. ❤️ This wonderful boy is ready to find the love he so richly deserves! **Remember, to apply, please do so through the Buddy App!**
