TOMMY

TOMMY'S LATEST HAPPY ENDING UPDATE.....Feb 27,2008

We adopted Tommy and he has turned out to be the most wonderful part of the family. He has a brother Bob (another Mastiff) and Bam Bam an older Cocker Spaniel that rules the roost. Tommy loves car rides and I am fortunate enough that my job allows me to take either one or both of the boys with me every day. Bam Bam because of his age stays home and guards the house while the other two are with me. Tommy loves long walks, loves to take over my bed and loves to snore (a true Mastiff), and absolutely loves to those belly rubs. What more can anyone ask for when he looks at me with those big brown eyes.
Below left is why I don't bother to make the bed.....to the right is a photo of Tommy with Bob

It took Tom a couple of months to feel like he was going to stay and as actually started sitting next to me rather than on top of me. I guess he thought if he kept me down he wouldn’t be given up again. He now wags his tail over the smallest of things, kisses me or Bob even if we just go to the garage like he has not seen us in months. His personality is coming in and what a goof he is.

He loves to talk what I call the seal bark with Bob when they are discussing who’s leash should go on first. They are quite the pair together, like they were raised together as puppies rather than both rescued from bad situations.

I would really like to appeal to those who question about adopting an older Mastiff rather than one that is only a year or two old. You will not be disappointed, they truly want love and are truly a wonderful part of anyone’s home for as long as we have them.

Give them a chance, they all need homes!

Meet Tommy the love bug. Tommy is located in Avon Park FL with his foster mom Rose. Tommy has gained weight successfully and is ready for his forever home.
Tommy is what you might call a "Second Date Dog" -being that he is cautious of new people, but once he gets warmed up he is all Love Bug!

Tommy really looks much better already- since he is gaining some much needed weight with all of the TLC he is now getting. Do you have the room in your heart for this special boy? He wont let you down if you give him a try:)

NOTE: Tommy was raised with children from two years to nine years of age by his original owners..

UPDATE: Tommy's situation has recently become more urgent since his foster mom has to undergo surgery at the end of October. We would hate for Tommy to have to go through yet another adjustment period before going to his new home. Perhaps Tommy is the Mastiff for your family?
