Tom

Joined rescue end of July 2026

2 year old neutered male rat terrier/ dachshund mix. Current on vaccinations and microchipped. He and his brother found themselves on a farm and needed trapped after most likely being dumped and fending for themselves. We are still learning likes and dislikes. Tom can be growly but he doesn't follow through. He's just trying to learn to trust humans after being failed. Tom and his brother Loooove Kids.
