🖤FOREVER FOSTER TOM🖤
M | 4Y | 31 KG | MIXED BREED | NEUTERED | UTD on shots | Housebroken | Crate Trained | Dog tested - proper intros required | No cats | Good with kids | Weekly baths due to skin issues | Fostered in Sharon, ON | Instagram:
Tom is just a chill dog who likes to relax but also go on an adventure once in a while. Tom loves attention and can be very excited when meeting new people, but that's just because he wants to be your friend!
Tom has made great progress in his responsiveness to commands and managing his dog reactivity. Initially, he struggled with fixation when encountering dogs on his walks, but with consistent training, he can now pass dogs calmly. Tom does have a prey drive and will try to chase cats, so he would not be a good fit for a home with feline companions. Tom could do well with a doggy sibling with proper introductions, as long as the dog is tolerant and balanced while Tom learns to navigate more direct socialization. He has currently been successful co-existing with other dogs with the proper boundaries. Tom is also fully ecollar trained off-leash!
Tom also loves kids! He has met kids aged 2+ and does well with all ages as he is super respectful of space.
Tom is currently recovering from Demodex mange and has had a previous skin cancer lump removed, making him more sensitive. Due to his continued health complications, we cannot in good conscience, deem him adoptabl. We prefer to be able to provide for all his medical needs while he gets to live out the rest of his days with a family whose pure dedication is to loving him and taking care of him - without the financial burden of costly medical bills.
What Tom needs:
- Continued support with leash reactivity (excitement on leash)
- UV shirt anytime he is out in the daylight (even on cloudy days)
- Outside time in the shade (avoid the sun when possible)
- Weekly baths
- Regular massages to check for any lumps
- Vet checks as needed when lumps are found (at our clinic in Mississauga)
