Thomas (20260713-03)

My story

Thomas's story began in December 2024, when he was just a tiny one-month-old puppy. He and his littermates were found in a city shelter in Korea as winter approached. Knowing the puppies would have little chance of surviving the freezing temperatures, rescuers stepped in and brought them to safety. Since then, Thomas has grown into a happy, healthy young dog who is ready to find the loving family he's always deserved. At approximately 1.5 years old, Thomas is a handsome cream-coloured Jindo mix weighing just 13 pounds. He has a wonderful balance of playful energy and affectionate sweetness. Whether he's happily playing with other dogs or quietly asking for gentle pets, Thomas is happiest when he's spending time with the people he loves. Thomas is incredibly friendly with both women and men, greeting everyone with a soft, gentle nature. While he hasn't had much experience around young children, he has done well with older kids and would likely thrive in a family that can continue to introduce him to new experiences at his own pace. He enjoys the company of other dogs of all sizes and plays respectfully, though he doesn't need a canine companion to be happy. He may also be able to live with cats, as he has shown no reaction to them during initial introductions. Thomas is making wonderful progress with his training. He is learning his house manners, does his business outside, and is becoming comfortable with his crate. He's also learning to walk nicely on leash and enjoys getting out to explore. He rides well in the car, although longer trips may occasionally cause mild car sickness, which often improves with practice. Despite his medium-to-high energy level, Thomas has an easygoing personality. He isn't destructive around the home, only occasionally sacrificing a toy during an enthusiastic play session. He rarely barks, loves physical affection, and has no food aggression. Once he trusts you, he'll gently come over, hoping for scratches and cuddles. A home with a fenced yard would be ideal so Thomas has room to play and burn off energy, but he could also do well in an apartment as long as he receives plenty of daily exercise and mental enrichment. After surviving such a difficult beginning, Thomas is ready to leave his past behind and start the next chapter of his life-with a family who will cherish him forever.
