Description Tommy
Tommy's Compatibility:
Good with dogs: Meet and greet
Good with cats: TBD
Good with kids: Yes, 13+

Tommy is an athletic boy ready to win your heart. This strapping boy with soft velvet fur enjoys his walks on the shelter's trail, and he loves playing fetch with tennis balls. He excitedly bounces after the ball, leaping high into the air. It's a total joy to watch him go!

Tommy is just as sweet as he is playful. He leans in with his whole body for pets, giving you a happy smile. He likes to snuggle up close, resting his chin on you.

He loves treats, and he takes them very softly. He sits so patiently for them, although he can't help but wiggle his butt and tap his paws out of excitement while waiting. He can get excited, especially when meeting new people, so he would appreciate a patient, consistent owner who can help reinforce good manners.

Tommy is housebroken, and since he can be an enthusiastic boy, he would do best in a home with kids aged 13 and up who can be respectful of his space. He's never lived with cats, but we can test him at the shelter to see how he'd do. Bring in your dogs to meet him and see if they click.

Tommy is the type of dog who will make your day brighter just by having him in it. Come in and meet this goofy boy – he'd love to show off his tennis ball skills for you!

Important Notice: A “meet and greet” with any existing dogs in your home is required, supervised by our team in our play areas. We encourage bringing your family and current dogs, especially if traveling from afar. Cats are not required for a meet and greet.

Adoption Hours: Daily 12-5PM, closed Wednesdays. No appointment needed, unless the dog or cat is in foster! Apply and then call us at 317-773-4974 to set up a meet and greet with an pet in foster care.

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?

You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
