Tommy Boy
Sex: Male • Located in: Arkansas • Age: Adult
*Tommy Boy is being fostered in El Dorado, AR.*
With a bit of a rough past, Tommy Boy is proving himself to be a loving companion. Originally picked up by animal control, Tommy Boy spent 9 months with an all-breed group where he waited in a kennel for an adoption that never came. He caught the eye of a ResQ volunteer, so we took him in to give him a chance at his forever home. He is Teddy, or a B rat terrier, so he has short legs. He is about 12 pounds and probably about 7 years old. His teeth were in very bad shape and several small front teeth had to be removed because they were loose. Tommy is working on his trust issues. He seems to like all people he meets, even curling up for a nap with them, but he does not like being picked up and hugged. He is also working on letting you handle his feet. Because of this, we feel he would be best in a home with adults or teens who understand his limits. He is housebroken, knows the dog door and really enjoys sleeping on his foster dad’s bed when he lets him, though he is completely comfortable in his crate as well. He gets along wonderfully with the other dogs in the home and plays most often by himself. His favorite thing is sitting with his person and just hanging out. He gets very excited when he sees a leash, and he sits nicely and can stay. For more photos of Tommy Boy, here is his photo album:

Dante comes from Odessa, Missouri, where he was brought in to the local animal shelter by the person who found him wandering around outside. Not much is known about his life previously, other than he was microchipped, but no one... [
I want this boy so badly. He looks just like my Chubby boy. I hope to hear from you. Linda
