| TOM NEEDS A HOME
(COASTAL PET RESCUE) Tom is a sweet guy with a lot of love to give, and the cutest ears ever! He loves to snuggle on the couch with you, sleeps well in the bed (where he would prefer to be), but would sleep fine in a crate, too if he has to. It takes him a little time to warm up to men, and he will bark at someone until he’s used to them. He also takes a little time to warm up to new dogs, and definitely doesn’t want to share his food, but who does? He’s a vocal pup, so if you’re looking for a church mouse, Tom’s probably not your guy. But if you’re looking for a sweet and fun-loving pup (with ears that will always make you smile), then submit an application to meet him and let’s get Tom into his new home.
