My story

What a handsome young boy!! Tom was born on the cruel streets of Cairo Egypt in March 2018, and spent the first six months of his life trying to stay alive, enduring regular abuse, neglect, and of course starvation. He managed to escape the country and arrived in Chicago last October, along with a few of his canine buddies from Egypt. Tom is now just over a year old, weighing about 30 lbs. He is considered a Baladi Dog, a mixed breed. DNA testing shows Tom to be a mix of Basenji, Caanite Dog, and Anatolian Shepherd. Tom is wonderful with all dogs….his comrades in surviving the cruelty that dogs often know all too well. It is no surprise he can be scared and guarded around new people. He may bark or let out a low growl, simply to say “go slow with me.” It is absolutely understandable that he’d be so hesitant around new people. Once Tom becomes comfortable with his human, he will prove himself to be fun-loving, cuddly, and very adaptable. This handsome youngster would be a great addition to any family willing to be patient with him, and understanding of his background, and to provide a lifetime of love and attention to this sweet boy. Tom enjoys playing with other dogs, and would love a canine companion (or two) to be a part of his new family. He definitely will not do well with small children but should be OK with children over the age of 10 years. Tom is fully vetted, up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and on year-round heartworm preventative. If you are interested in adding Tom to your family, please contact us at BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Tom, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
