Rehome | From One Loving Family to Another

Tom found his way into our lives via our former dog's dogwalker. We instantly fell in love and took him in to our home. Unfortunately, the main reason we are looking to rehome Tom is because his dad has had severe allergic reactions to him.

Tom is a wonderful 4-5 month old, 25lb puppy who, we think, will grow to be ~70lb. He loves to explore and observe the world on his walks. He is very food motivated, already responds to basic commands, sleeps through the night in his crate without a peep, and is making great strides towards being fully house broken.

We would love to find a loving home for Tom with a family that can provide the time and space that a growing puppy needs. He would do great with a yard that he can call his own and expend that extra puppy energy. He will need a family that can devote the time to his training and give him all the puppy kisses and accolades possible.
