About Thomas
Thomas is a sweet, gentle soul about a year old, weighing around 13 pounds—ideal for someone wanting a compact companion. He’s a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix with a short, apricot coat and calm personality. After a rough start in a crowded shelter, Thomas is finding his feet again. At first, he’s a little shy, but he warms up to people and shows a deep loyalty once he feels safe. Every day, he gains a bit more confidence and lets his affectionate side show. He does best in a quiet, patient home that lets him move at his own pace. Thomas gets along well with dogs and cats, and he’s house trained, vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. Give him a stable environment and you’ll have a devoted little shadow. He’s currently fostering in El Segundo, CA and ready for his second chance. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
