About Tommy

Tommy is a scruffy terrier mix looking for a forever home. He, along with his brother Travis, was rescued from a shelter after being picked up as strays. Fortunately, Burlington County Animal Alliance stepped in to help these handsome boys find their new families. At around 2 years old and about 19 lbs, Tommy has a striking tricolor coat of brown, black, and white, with a charming touch of white on his chest. Initially a bit shy, he quickly learned to trust his foster family and now enjoys attention, treats, and exploring the exercise yard with other small dogs. Tommy is good with children and has shown a gentle disposition, even with cats. He has adapted well to crate life, sharing his space comfortably with Travis and keeping his bedding intact. Though he was initially hesitant about the leash, his foster mom's patience has helped him embrace outdoor adventures. If you’re interested in adding Tommy to your family, don’t hesitate to apply today!
