About Tom Jones The Squishy

If you want a genuine best friend and the ultimate couch companion, Tom Jones The Squishy is ready to claim the spot. At about five and a half years old, he hits the sweet spot—he knows his way around a home but hasn’t lost his sense of humor or playfulness. He sports a salt-and-pepper face and soft short fur that practically demands to be petted, plus an easygoing charm that comes out a little more each day. Tom earns his pro snuggler badge daily and fits the definition of a cuddle bug. You’ll often find him leaning against you, toting his favorite toy, or making sure the sofa never sits empty. This is a dog whose loyalty means you’ll never have to look far to find him—he’s by your side by default. He recently spent a day out with the rescue’s Director of Behavior and met her two young children—Tom handled it smoothly, giving affection to the 5-year-old and being gentler with the 3-year-old. Nothing fazed him: not car rides, new people, or noisy environments. Once helped into the car, he settled in and enjoyed the adventure. Tom’s signature move? Rolling over for belly rubs and melting into anyone’s arms, leaving a stream of fans in his wake. People kept asking if he was a Teddy Bear—it’s no stretch, between his thick coat, soft fur, and contagious smile. Tom went to the vet and showed perfect manners, tolerating exams calmly and ignoring other dogs. At doggy daycare, he impressed staff with his steady, happy attitude around polite dogs and relaxed people. He likes stable or moderate energy playmates and doesn’t rush into new dog friendships, but once he’s comfortable, he’s happy to play. Tom is fine as the only dog at home too. Cats, on the other hand, are a dealbreaker—Tom isn’t a fan, make no mistake. He’s lived in a home, reliably house trained, and shows decent manners already. For leash walks, he’ll do best with some continued guidance. Apartment living isn’t off the table if his exercise and company needs are met. He was recently fostered by a couple in their 90s and adjusted beautifully. Tom Jones The Squishy is out to be someone’s loyal, affectionate, goofy right hand. He’s just looking for his last stop—a family to love him back. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
