About Tommy

Tommy is a handsome black Pomeranian with a challenging past, having come from a puppy mill. His start to life was anything but easy, but each day, he shows signs of progress as he learns what it truly means to be a dog. He's still quite fearful, yet he's beginning to pick up leash walking quickly with some guidance. Tommy is dog-friendly and thrives with patient support when confronting new situations. Due to his apprehensive nature, a home with young children wouldn’t be suitable; however, he might adapt well to older, respectful children who can give him needed space and time. Potential adopters should be aware that Tommy, like many dogs from his background, may find new experiences overwhelming. He's not currently potty trained, so expect some accidents and be ready to patiently teach him the ropes. It's essential to be cautious with doors and fencing, as he may try to escape while settling in. Tommy needs a dedicated adopter who understands that his journey will take time. With consistent love and encouragement, he can blossom into the confident, happy dog he deserves to be. Click apply to start the adoption process.
