Tommy

Meet Tommy – The Gentle Giant with the Million-Dollar Smile

Tommy is a 3-year-old, 75-pound German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as his grin. He was rescued from an overcrowded Houston shelter after a likely troubled past, which left him extremely shy, fearful, and unsure of the world. Thanks to patient and gentle fosters, he's blossomed into the sweetest, calmest, and most loyal companion. He requires a slow warm-up period, as trust is built quietly and steadily on his timeline. Once he lets you in, it's magic! Tommy has found comfort in his kennel, learned to use a doggy door, and loves lounging on the porch and sniffing the breeze with a big, content smile.

Ideal Home

Tommy will likely thrive best in a home with another confident, friendly dog, as he adores following their lead. He needs people who understand that trust is built slowly and steadily, on his timeline.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.

Training & Support

Tommy requires a slow warm-up and needs adopters who understand that trust is built quietly and steadily, on his timeline. His foster family is committed to being an ongoing resource for his success and will gladly take him back if the adoption isn't the right fit.
