Tommy is an enthusiastic, athletic young dog of around 16 months old. He is smart and learns extremely quickly, if rewarded with the two things he craves most - affection and food!
Tommy unfortunately experienced both neglect and hunger before he came to ADP, and this often manifests itself in boisterous behaviour, such as jumping up and pulling on the leash, so prospective owners must be prepared to be calm, gentle and persistent to get the best from him. However, he is never aggressive - he just gets carried away by enthusiasm.
Tommy gets along extremely well with other dogs and is very playful. With other adult dogs, he loves to engage in chasing and wrestling games. With puppies, he shows his caring side and is a sweet and gentle playmate.
Outside the shelter, Tommy has not been fearful of new experiences, such as trips in the car, veterinary visits and walks in town. He is very curious and wants to investigate everything.
He will make a fantastic companion for experienced owners able to offer him love and discipline.
