We adopt out to homes around the US and Canada, but require that you are present for the meet and greet in Newcastle, WA. Our adoption fee is non-negotiable as we need these funds to cover medical bills. The adoption fee is due on the day of adoption in the form of a check, Chase QuickPay, PayPal, or cash. The sadness never ever ends & Tommy has one of those stories. Tommy was surrendered along with 7 of his siblings in CA at the tiny age of 8 weeks. All of his siblings were doing well at the shelter except they kept pushing Tommy out from eating & the shelter said he needed help because of this as they were concerned he was not eating enough & that he was blind. We picked up this little man & straight away could see he had a crusty nose & did not look well. We took him straight to our vets & thank goodness we did rescue him because at the tiny age of 8 weeks he had an upper respiratory infection. Tommy was admitted into the vets hospital where he immediately received treatment & stayed in the vets care for 3 days. We & Tommy had our work medically cut out for us to get Tommy well. After we got Tommy well & his surgeries & all is care with his amazing foster mum he was bought back to WA state from CA where he can't wait to find his loving forever home. This sweetheart of a little man came to us not being able to hardly see at all & since being with us have things changed so much. He now has his sight, our vets believe it could of been a neurological delay with his site. This little mans eyes are so piercing & they were meant to see the world. Tommy is now one very spirited happy little chap, he loves everyone he meets & enjoys being cuddled to. He is going to grow up to be quite a big fellow considering his slow start to life so that needs to be considered when applying to be Tommy's new home. That being said, Tommy is a eater, he loves to eat & he is making up for lost time. With his enthusiasm for food when he does eat he has a tendency to put his whole face into his bowl & the food goes into his nose so every time he eats, inside & outside his nose has to be cleaned. Tommy's new forever home must have a fully fenced secured backyard. He also needs a full toy basket in his new home for him to enjoy his toys. Tommy has been great with his baths because he started having them with us from a very young age so he is used to them. Tommy rides beautifully in the car & enjoys a good journey & still needs continued work walking on his harness & leash. Tommy is a puppy so he is a chewer. We are looking for a forever home for Tommy where someone is home during the day or he can go with his people wherever possibly he can go with them & there must be another dog or dogs in the home for him to thrive. Tommy loves other dogs & plays & plays & plays all day with them. This is mandatory for his new home. Tommy is looking for a forever home who will cherish him & love him as he should be loved & be patient with him. Tommy has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & he is currently with other dogs here in WA & was fostered in CA with other dogs & does well with them but does like to steel their food if he can. It's mandatory for him to be in a home with playful dogs. Tommy is roughly just over 4 months old & 11.6 lbs & is perhaps a shepard mix, male, was treated for a respiratory infection & treated with multiple medications, had a dew claw removed, tested for giradia, microchipped, neutered, up to date on his shots, including DHLPP, Bordatella, CIV, rabies & dewormed. We have spent far more on rescuing Tommy, with all of his medical care getting him well with the upper respiratory infection, neuter, shots, dew claw removal etc in CA & along with transport etc than Tommy's fee covers. Tommy has been around cats since being in the rescue & did well with the cat in his foster home but it's always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together & we have not had him around small children so we do not recommend small children & it's always up to the family to be responsible with their children. We were not there when Tommy was conceived so we do not know who his parents were & it's always up to the new potential family to decide his breed.
