Tom

My story

Tom is a tiny dog who has had to be very brave in a very big, unfamiliar world. This three-year-old, 14-pound Chihuahua mix came to us from a homeless situation, having never known the basics many dogs take for granted, no leash walks, no vet visits, no sense of routine or safety. It’s no wonder that when Tom feels scared, he may act a bit defensive; it’s simply how he learned to protect himself. Underneath that uncertainty is a dog with so much potential. With patience, consistency, and kindness, Tom will begin to understand that hands can be gentle, walks can be fun, and life can be predictable and safe. Once that happens, his true personality will start to shine. Tom is looking for an experienced, understanding home, one that knows how rewarding it is to help a shy dog find his confidence. His adoption fee of $250 includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and a complimentary wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital. To meet Tom, call 602-971-1334 or visit Thursday–Saturday, 11:00 am–4:00 pm
