About Tom

Meet Tom, a joyful and high-spirited young pup who has truly blossomed in his foster home. He's described as a confident, happy, and well-adjusted dog who has completely won the hearts of his foster family. Tom is very active and energetic, always ready for a run, play, or hike. He's also quite smart and trained, listening well to commands like "stop" and "stay." While not a big snuggler, he loves being near his people and soaking up attention, bringing a different kind of love that fills days with movement and laughter.

As a Labrador Retriever and German Shepherd mix, Tom embodies the best traits of both intelligent and active breeds. He will thrive with an active family who can provide him with plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Both breeds are known for their loyalty and eagerness to please, making Tom a highly trainable companion. He's great with people and kids, happily engaging in play, and is even cat-curious, though he can be redirected from chasing. His short to medium coat will require moderate grooming and he is expected to be a heavy shedder.

Tom's ideal home is one with an active family ready for a large dog with plenty of energy. He would do best with people who can provide him with consistent structure, exercise, and dedicated time, treating him like a true member of the household. Tom is already crate-trained, well-mannered indoors, and house-trained, showing how adaptable he is to a home environment. If you're looking for a loyal adventure buddy who will fill your life with movement, purpose, and unconditional love, Tom is eager to find his forever family.
