Tommy
Age: 3 yearsBreed: Terrier MixSex: MaleWeight: 40 poundsAbout:Tommy has been at the shelter for 92 days. 92 long, hard days. His spirit was broken,he was unsure what he did to deserve the life he was handed. But little did Tommy knowhe was going to receive the VIP treatment coming in! Tommy had such bad pressuresores on both sides of his hips that you could almost see his bones. Sores so deep andbad off even doc said they were one of the worst ones he has seen! Tommy wasseverely underweight but he still held his head high and loved people.Thanks to our vet for getting Tommy in quickly and a very generous donor for coveringhis medical bill, and our animal care team for not giving up on him, Tommy is nowalmost 20lbs heavier, and his sores...almost nonexistent!!His spirit is slowly coming back and he's ready to put the bad things behind him and findthat special family who can show him what its like to have someone love himunconditionally. He's a pretty chill guy who doesn't seem to let a lot phase him. Yardtime? Cool, he can go sniff around - completely ignoring you!But like most bully breeds, he quite enjoys sun baking like a potato! He doesn't mind ifhe has to share a play yard with other dogs or kids. He just does his own thing! Hetakes treats gently and walks wonderful on a leash. While we cant say he's 100%% pottytrained, he is very good about going to the outside of his indoor/outdoor run to go potty.Tommy has grown quite fond of having a big thick blanket to sleep on to help his hipsand the pressure sores, so a comfy bed to sleep on is at the top of his list. He loves to"talk" to you when he wants attention or event just a treat!
