About Tomboy

Meet Tomboy, a playful 6-year-old female Terrier mix in search of her forever home. Weighing in at 42 pounds, she’s been given refuge at Bayside Pet Resort after her previous owner's circumstances changed unexpectedly. The staff there is showering her with love and attention while she works with a certified dog trainer to thrive in her new environment. Tomboy would do best in a home without young children, small dogs, or cats. Although she hasn't shown aggression towards them, we believe a quieter space will help her flourish. She can be shy at first but warms up quickly to those she trusts, forming strong bonds. This playful pooch is very toy-motivated and has made great progress in her training. Her transformation since arriving at the resort has earned her rave reviews from the staff. If you’re ready for a loving companion who gives her heart completely, Tomboy may be your ideal match. Her adoption includes complimentary one-on-one training sessions to help her adapt to her new home. Tomboy is currently available for adoption at Bayside Pet Resort in Myakka City, FL.
