About Tommy

Hi there. My name is Tommy. I'm about 4 years old and I weigh 55 lbs. I was seized from very neglectful conditions along with several other dogs on 8/13/18. We all tested heartworm positive upon our arrival. In addition to my heartworm disease, I also had awful entropion on both eyes. I had my entropion repair done while I was anesthetized for my neuter on 8/21/18. My eyes have healed fabulously and I feel so much better. We went through the pre-treatment course of doxycycline and prednisone and heartworm preventative. We all underwent our 2 dose immiticide injections on 9/18/18 and 9/19/18. I tested NEGATIVE for heartworm on 3/25/19 and I have been kept current on heartworm prevention here at the pound. I will also need to stay on monthly heartworm preventative for the rest of my life to prevent me from getting these horrible heartworms ever again, and though it shouldn't need said, also regular vet care! I am a super duper sweet and loving boy I am a huge fan of cuddling and giving kisses!! My best friend Tina and I share a kennel at night and we like to be together all the time. We would really, really love to be able to find a new loving home together. I was kept as an outside dog before making my way in to the pound, but I am surprisingly clean and do a good job keeping my kennel clean. I would likely do very well and catch on fast with my potty training once I get to a home and I am on a good schedule. I am very smart and will catch on to new things quickly. I get along well with most other dogs, but should meet new dogs that I would be living with prior to adoption. If you're looking for a wonderful dog to add to your family, please consider adopting me. Our adoption fee is $120.00. The adoption fee must be paid in CASH. We are unable to accept personal checks or credit/debit cards for adoption fees. ALL dogs/puppies adopted from our shelter will receive their parvo distemper vaccine, bordetella vaccine, rabies vaccine (if aged at 12 weeks or older), be dewormed with a 3 day course of panacur dewormer, be microchipped, receive their current Ohio dog license and will be spayed or neutered. ALL DOGS/PUPPIES WILL BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED unless a health issue prohibits the surgery from being performed. Not all dogs posted for adoption are spayed/ neutered yet. If you're driving a long distance to adopt, please verify that the vetting process has been completed and dog you're interested in adopting is still available for adoption. The above mentioned vetting is all included in your adoption fee. The adoption fee and what is included in the adoption fee is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Adoptions MUST be done at the pound and in person as there is paperwork to fill out and an adoption contract that must be signed by the adopter. This means you must be willing to travel to our shelter to adopt. IF the dog you're interested in adopting has medical conditions or injuries which require medical treatment, we ask that you help with the medical bills so we can continue to help the dogs coming in who need additional vet care. We are a county run shelter, therefore we cannot control our intake or the health or behavior of the dogs that come in to our shelter. Although we try our hardest to place all of our adoptable dogs, there are certain circumstances in which any dog in our care could be euthanized at any time and without further notice (IE: sudden untreatable medical condition or injury, temperament or behavioral problems which may not be apparent when the dog first arrives, lack or space, etc.), therefore all dogs at our shelter should be considered urgent. The adoption of a more highly adoptable dog will mean more time for the less adoptable dog in the kennel next to him! Shelter hours are: Monday-Friday: 8 am- 4 pm Saturday: 8 am - 1 pm. Sunday: 8 am - 1 pm. Adoptions are always welcome during hours of operation. We will make special arrangements for adoptions in advance. There is nobody in the office on Saturday and Sunday, so therefore we are unable to answer or return phone calls over the weekend. Can't adopt a dog? We would love to have more volunteers who are able to spend time with our dogs! The dogs LOVE going for walks and the socialization and exercise helps make the dogs more adoptable.
