Hi there-

My name is Tom and I am told all the time that I am perfect.  I LOVE to meet any and all humans.  I have so much fun going into stores, going to Canine Coffee Breaks and having people over.  My purpose in life is to make people happy by them petting me.  I actually get my feelings hurt when people walk by me and do not stop to say hi.  But I bounce back quickly b/c there is always someone’s eye I can catch!  Little people- I love them and I try to be very sweet and gentle- I just flop down so my tummy can be rubbed.  B/c of my size I think little humans 6 and older is best.  I have 2 dogs I play with all the time at my foster home- 1 is the same size and 1 is small and feisty.  We wrestle and romp and have a good time!  Sometimes I forget I am still a baby and get over tired- that is when I take a nice nap in my crate.  I love all the bones and split antlers lying around my house- I had to learn that the fiesty dog owns them all but I am allowed one once she chooses her bone.  I like balls and am trying to figure out the concept of bring it back- I would much rather throw it around myself.  I love car rides and go everywhere with my foster mom.  Oh, I really like walks and am getting very good at walking on leash.  I am a strong boy so I am trying to not pull much.  My foster mom tells me and others that I have perfect house manners.  Everyone tells me that I am handsome and such a good boy!

So how did such a perfect boy end up in rescue?  When I was little I got hit by a truck and had an injury to my hip.  The family I lived with did not do anything but a nice social worker named Tom (my name sake) took me home.  I received medical care and had an operation.  Since I have been in MN I have been working on building strength and the nice Dr said I am in good shape.  I can take walks, play, swim all which helps me get stronger.

I am a wonderful baby boy and I am so excited to find my forever home.
