About Tommy

Meet Tommy! At 1.5 years old, this black Lab mix has transformed from a shelter dog into a vibrant companion, currently thriving in his foster home in the NYC area. Weighing in at about 70 pounds, Tommy is an energetic and affectionate young dog who truly believes that people are the highlight of his life. Always eager to explore, he enjoys long walks, hiking, and beach trips, making him an ideal adventure buddy. Tommy is fully house-trained and has remarkable indoor manners. He adores human companionship, follows you around happily, and enjoys car rides, though he’s still getting used to them and is improving in terms of motion sickness. While Tommy does well with people, he’s dog selective and would be happiest in a cat-free home without other dogs, unless matched very carefully. He’s best suited for families with teenagers or older children since he can get mouthy during play but is learning good manners with positive reinforcement. This spirited and loving dog is ready for his forever family, one that appreciates his energy and adventurous spirit. After a busy day of fun, Tommy is content to settle down in his own bed with his people nearby. Are you ready to bring Tommy into your life? Click apply to start the adoption process.
