About Tom
Tom is a very well mannered and happy dog. He loves affection , and scratches and especially loves his treats. He also would love to snuggle up on the couch with you.
Tom's always happy, likes his walks but short walks are good for him. He does like to pull to get from one tree to the next and also if he sees squirrels or rabbits he wants to chase.
He is house-trained, and does not require a crate. Sleeps well at the side of the bed.
Tom knows most commands like sit, come, stay, lay down.
Tom wasn't introduced to any new dogs while in foster care, but dogs would walk on the other side of road and he was ok with that. Tom lived with two other dogs, and was ok with them, except would nip if they came close to his food. He will also nip if you go near his toys, so you would just need to take some precautions.
Anyone looking for a great companion? He’s your guy!

Why We Love Fostering

I love fostering because I get to change the lives of the dogs I welcome into my home. I get to treat them like my own while knowing they get a chance at a great life. It feels great to be able to provide them with a stepping stone towards their new life with a new family and new friends. Even when they go, I never feel sadness. I only feel happiness because I know they will be loved as much as i loved them. (For Kappy: Though your time was short with me, you inspired me to help other dogs. 🥹)

Teddy and Lily came to me almost 10 years ago. Unfortunately, Lily is suffering from kidney disease, but Teddy takes care of her and watches over her to the best of his ability. I've said this so many times: They didn't need me, I needed them. Pets Alive Niagara is hands down one of the most loving, caring, involved, dedicated charities in the Niagara Region. If you are able to be part of this family jump on our band Wagon won't you? 🐾🎙.
