Tom

My story

Meet Tom! This big lug-head doesn’t care what you call him: Tom, Tommy, Thomas, Tom Tom, Tim Tam … Big Head. As long as you’ve got eyes for him, you’ve already won his heart. Tom was originally picked up as a terrified, emaciated stray found right here in White Oak, but he’s made incredible progress since then. He’s gained back all the weight he lost (and then some love along the way!) and is now a healthy 70lbs of pure affection. We like to call him a “super mutt” because your guess is as good as ours when it comes to his breed mix! You'll just have to come meet him in person to help us solve the mystery. Tom loves to play fetch, and I mean LOVES it! Seriously, he could go for hours. But if you’re not up for a marathon game, he let us know he’s happy to compromise and come inside to curl up on top of you for company. This big guy is working on his sit and leash manners, and he’s picking it up fast! Tom will do anything for treats and is super smart. He’s just waiting to show you how good of a boy he can be. Tom seems to get along just fine with other dogs, though a meet and greet is always required for potential doggy siblings. With slow introductions, we think he’d do well with cats too. Due to his size and enthusiastic personality, Tom would be best with older kids who can handle his happy energy without getting bowled over. Think you could make Tom’s day, and his whole life, by giving him a real home where he’ll never go hungry or feel scared again? Give us a call at 412-672-8901 to set up an appointment to meet this big-hearted boy.
