The big, joyful jumper who loves to swim!
Tom is the biggest of the three brothers, and he is the first to jump in — literally! Once Tom decides you are safe, he cannot quite contain himself. He jumps. He wiggles. He is so happy to see you that his whole body says it.
He loves to swim, he follows his foster around during chores like helping is a job he applied for and intends to keep, and he is a total cuddle bug and treat lover. He is gentle, he is sweet, and he is good around children ages 2 and 5.
Picture him wet from the pool, following you back toward the house — not because you called him, but because that is where you are going, and that is where he wants to be.
The home Tom needs
Tom is still learning the leash: put one on him and he tends to hit the ground, so his adopter should expect a patient, funny start to walks, not a finished walker. He barks briefly when left and dislikes being completely alone. He startles at quick movements and loud sounds, and runs rather than showing aggression. He does resource-guard sometimes, and it calms with a steady voice and a simple phrase — “Tom be nice” — so his adopter should know it and work with it honestly.
