Tom is an almost 7-year-old dog waiting for his chance to find a patient and gentle family. Beneath his timid exterior lies an affectionate companion who just needs stability and time to truly flourish.
Tom isn’t a dog who will adapt overnight — he needs humans who are willing to respect his pace, understand his body language, and offer him a calm, secure environment. Once he feels safe, he’ll show all the love and loyalty he has to give.
He loves walks and needs daily physical activity, as well as playtime, chew toys, and mental stimulation to stay happy and balanced. With him, every small step forward is a touching victory that strengthens the special bond you’ll share.
Tom isn’t comfortable around young children or small animals, but he’ll thrive in a stable, caring home that respects his needs. His future adopters should also know that he can be vocal, especially when he’s stressed or left alone — it’s one of the ways he expresses his emotions.
Adopting Tom means welcoming a sensitive dog who’s faced his share of challenges but deeply deserves a second chance. With patience, consistency, and lots of love, he’ll become a loyal companion who’ll move you with his resilience.
