Here's what the humans have to say about me:
THOMAS****CONTACT KAT katkylabrescue@gmail.com THOMAS' STORY--HE DESERVED BETTER!!! WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ONE OF THE HIGHEST KILL SHELTERS IN THE SOUTH LETTING US KNOW THAT THOMAS' FAMILY HAD JUST SURRENDERED HIM TO HER SHELTER. THE FAMILY BROUGHT THOMAS THEIR LAB TO THE SHELTER, SIGNED THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK GIVING HIM UP AND WHEN THE DIRECTOR ASKED WHY THEY WEREN'T KEEPING THOMAS THEY REPLIED "WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR HIM, NO ONE PAYS ANY ATTENTION TO HIM, HE JUST SPENDS HIS DAYS ON OUR COVERED PATIO AND WHEN HE IS INSIDE NO ONE PLAYS WITH HIM, THE CHILDREN ARE BUSY, MY WIFE HONESTLY NEVER WANTED A DOG, DOGS ARE JUST TOO MUCH TROUBLE, WE DON'T WANT HIM!!!" THE FAMILY TURNED AND LEFT THE SHELTER NEVER EVEN SAYING GOODBYE TO THOMAS. "THIS IS THE SWEETEST FELLOW, A GENTLE SOUL HE DOESN'T BELONG HERE, WE ARE EXTREMELY FULL, HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHERE HE IS AND WHY HIS FAMILY LEFT HIM, CAN YOU HELP HIM?" WAS THE SHELTER DIRECTOR'S PLEA TO US. ALL IT TOOK WAS ONE PICTURE OF THIS SWEET FELLOW WITH HIS "LOVE ME" FACE AND WE WERE ON OUR WAY WITHIN MINUTES TO HELP. WHEN WE SAW THOMAS WE SPOKE SOFTLY TO HIM, GAVE HIM A TREAT, HE LIFTED HIS HEAD CAME OVER TO US THE LOOK ON HIS FACE SEEMED TO SAY "HELP ME" WE DID!!! THOMAS LEFT SHELTER THAT DAY, EYES SPARKLING ALL READY TO BEGIN HIS NEW LIFE. THOMAS****GENTLE--LOVING--A TRUE COMPANION!! THOMAS IS ABSOLUTELY THE SWEETEST, 2 YR. OLD, YELLOW LABRADOR RETRIEVER. DON'T PLAN ON KEEPING YOUR HEART WHEN YOU SEE THOMAS BECAUSE ONE LOOK AT THAT FACE AND YOU'LL BE A GONNER WE WERE!!! THE FIRST THING THAT WILL CATCH YOUR ATTENTION IS WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FELLOW HE IS. HIS COAT IS SO SOFT IT FEELS LIKE VELVET, A PALE PALE CHAMPAGNE COLOR HIGHLIGHTED WITH WARM APRICOT ON HIS BACK AND EARS YOU WILL WANT TO PAT AND RUB THOMAS ALL DAY AND AS MUCH AS HE ADORES PATS AND ATTENTION THIS IS JUST FINE WITH HIM. HE SOAKS UP EVERY MOMENT WHEN GIVEN HUGS & TREATS. HIS FACE IS HIGHLIGHTED WITH SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES WE HAVE SEEN, THEY ARE "HUGE" A RICH, DARK CHESTNUT COLOR WITH A TRUE "LOVE ME" EXPRESSION IN OUR OPINION IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO. THOMAS GIVES TRUE MEANING TO THE WORD "COMPANION", HE IS DEEPLY AFFECTIONATE, DEVOTED AND EXTREMELY LOVING, HIS TRUE HAPPINESS IS BEING WITH THOSE HE LOVES AS NO ONE LOVES HIS FAMILY MORE THEN THOMAS. WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLS FOR IS FINE WITH THOMAS JUST TAKE HIM ALONG, HE WOULD LOVE AN EARLY MORNING OR LATE AFTERNOON WALK, THOMAS WILL PRANCE ALONG EYES SPARKLING, TAKING IN ALL THE SIGHTS ALONG THE WAY. IF YOU HAD ERRANDS TO RUN AROUND TOWN THOMAS WOULD LOVE TO BE INVITED TO GO ALONG, THOMAS' TRUE HAPPINESS IS JUST BEING WITH THOSE HE LOVES. THOMAS IS WHAT WE CALL A "GENTLE SOUL, A SOFT DOG" A KIND FELLOW. THERE IS ANOTHER PART TO THIS COMPANION PUP'S PACKAGE AND IT IS APPARENT AFTER SPENDING ANY TIME WITH THOMAS, THIS IS ONE SMART PUP!!! HE IS A SENSITIVE FELLOW IN-TUNE TO HIS SURROUNDINGS NEVER MISSING A THING, A PUP THAT DELIGHTS IN LEARNING WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TEACH HIM. HE FINDS NEW THINGS INTERESTING AND A CHALLENGE THE SKY'S THE LIMIT WITH THIS EXCEPTIONAL GUY. HE IS A TRUE "OPEN BOOK" AND IT'S UP TO YOU TO FILL THE PAGES WITH PATS--HUGS--PLAY--BUT MOST OF ALL AND MOST IMPORTANT FILL THIS PUP'S BOOK WITH A TON OF LOVE. WE FEEL THAT THE PERFECT HOME FOR THOMAS WOULD BE ONE THAT MOVES AT A SLOW AND EASY PACE, THOMAS WOULD BE A DELIGHTFUL CHOICE FOR A RETIRED COUPLE, SINGLE GUY OR GIRL OR A FAMILY WITH GENTLE EASY GOING OLDER CHILDREN WHO ARE OLD ENOUGH TO PLAY WITH HIM BUT ALSO CHILDREN WHO WOULD ENJOY QUIET TIME WITH THOMAS WHILE THEY DID THEIR HOMEWORK OR WATCH A MOVIE, A FAMILY WHO WOULD INCLUDE THOMAS IN EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIFE. IF YOU DECIDE TO MAKE THIS LOVING PUP A PART OF YOUR LIFE YOU WILL BE REWARDED EVERYDAY THOMAS IS A PART OF YOUR LIFE WITH A GENTLE, LOVING GUY WHO IS DEVOTED TO HIS FAMILY AND LOVES WITH EVERY FIBER OF HIS BEING. BEING PART OF A FAMILY IS THE ONLY LIFE THOMAS HAS KNOWN, THE LIFE HE SO DESERVES TO KNOW AGAIN. THOMAS' ONLY WISH IS TO BELONG TO A FAMILY WHO WILL SEE WHAT A TREASURE HE IS AND LOVE HIM. IF THE "COMPANION" YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD TO YOUR LIFE IS ONE THAT IS GENTLE--AFFECTIONATE--WHO'S GREATEST JOY IS LOVING HIS FAMILY AND A PUP WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL "MELT YOUR HEART" FACE THEN LOOK NO FURTHER THOMAS IS YOUR PUP!!! HE IS A TRUE TREASURE!!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO THOMAS WAS NOT HIS FAULT, HE DID EVERYTHING RIGHT, HE LOVED HIS FAMILY WITH EVERY OUNCE OF HIS BEING IT WAS HIS FAMILY WHO WERE COLD AND UNCARING, THEY BROKE THEIR PROMISE TO LOVE THOMAS AS LONG AS HE LIVED, THEY LIED AND JUST THREW HIM AWAY--HE DESERVED BETTER!!!
