Thomas

My story

Meet Thomas – The Lap-Loving Gentleman with a Heart of Gold 🐾💛 Thomas is a 4-year-old Chihuahua with a sweet soul and a love for the simple things in life. This little guy is the perfect mix of curious and cuddly—he enjoys his daily walks, exploring the world at his own pace, and then settling in for a cozy lounge session. His favorite place? Your lap. Thomas is happiest when he’s snuggled up close, drifting off to sleep while soaking in all the love and attention he can get. He especially enjoys soft head scratches and gentle pets—those are his love language! While he’s not the biggest fan of being picked up, he makes up for it with his affectionate nature and constant desire to be near you. Thomas is a loyal, loving companion who will be your shadow, your cuddle buddy, and your best little friend. If you’re looking for a laid-back, lap-loving pup with lots of love to give, Thomas is waiting patiently for his forever home. 💕🐶 When I arrived at Anderson Animal Shelter from their partner shelter in Oklahoma, I tested positive for Heartworm. The staff believes that the best place for Heartworm positive dogs like me to be while going through treatments and recovering is with a loving and forever family like yours. If you choose to adopt me, the clinic staff will be with you every step of the way, answering questions and offering support. The process from detection to the final treatment is generally three months and involves some simple at-home steps to keep me safe while I recover. The last step in the process is a follow-up test six months after my treatment begins. The Heartworm treatment process is highly successful and the staff anticipates that I will fully recover! Yeah! And you should know that Heartworm can only be transmitted from animal to animal by mosquitoes. Stop in and meet my cute self in person during our adoption hours. For more information, email info@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 0, and the staff will be happy to help you. I hope to meet you soon! All of our dogs and puppies go home spayed or neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested (for dogs 7 months and older). They are also up to date on core vaccines, as well as heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Each adoption includes a 3.5-pound bag of dog or puppy food and a free vet exam at one of our participating veterinary partners.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Thomas, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
