Tomo

My story

🧡 Hi, I’m Tomo! 🧡 Age: 8 months Breed: Jack Russell Terrier Mix Sex: Female Weight: Around 7kg (about 15 lbs) I might be small in size, but I’ve got a heart full of joy and a whole lot of love to give. With my always-smiling face, bouncy energy, and endless puppy charm, I’m here to brighten your world—every single day! I’m still just a pup, so running around, playing with toys, and goofing off with people are my favorite things in the world. I love shaking my toys, chasing after fun, and even playfully jumping on you to say, “Let’s go!” I also get along well with other dogs and have a gentle soul—I don’t get jealous over food or toys, and I’m happy to share the love. But… here’s something you should know: I’ve never lived in a real home before. I grew up in a shelter, so everything about family life is brand new to me. I haven’t learned about potty training yet—indoors or outdoors. Sometimes, I just go when I need to, because no one ever taught me the right way. But I’m a quick learner, and with patience, consistency, and positive rewards, I’ll figure it out! A good routine—like going to the same spot after meals, playtime, or naps—will really help me catch on. Because I’ve never had to be alone before, I might feel scared or anxious when you leave. I may cry or chew on things at first. But if you give me a safe space like a crate or playpen, and slowly help me practice being alone for short periods of time, I’ll learn to feel secure, even when you’re not right there. I have so much energy (typical puppy, right?), so I’ll need a couple of good walks every day and time to run and play in a yard or park. When I get my zoomies out, I can rest calmly at home and be the sweet, snuggly girl I know I can be. The best part? I really want to make you happy. I love treats and praise, so training me will not only be effective—it’ll also bring us closer. I’m at the perfect age to start learning things like “sit,” “wait,” and “come,” and I’ll be so proud to show you how smart and loyal I can be. I know I’m still learning, and I might make some mistakes along the way. But I promise—if you give me love, patience, and a safe place to grow, I’ll give you my whole heart in return. I’ve spent my life in a shelter, just waiting for a chance to be part of a real family. Could that be with you? With wiggles, love, and lots of puppy kisses, Tomo
