My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Apply to Adopt Me!



Foster or adopter needed!
There once were two close friends - Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. They had lots of adventures and mischief.
Now meet their dog versions of themselves.
This is Tom Sawyer - found running in the woods with his friend/brother Huck Finn.
He was beyond skinny and high heartworm positive at only two years old.
Full of worms... fleas... you name it.
We promised him we would get him healthy and find the best home ever!
Tom is now intestinal parasite free, and is fully vetted. He is 2yo and weighs 31 1/2 lbs.  We think he may be a lab/hound mix.  Tom is on the slow kill protocol for his heartworm positive status, which we can explain that process to any interested applicant. He can enjoy regular activities. Heart worm disease is contracted from an infected mosquito and can not be transmitted to another dog.
He now weighs twice what he weighed when he was found. 
Tom loves everyone! He is a hound so cats may be something he wants to chase.
He does have a rooster friend though!
This sweet boy is doing great with house training and walks very well on a leash.
Tom needs a secure, privacy fenced yard to run in. If no fenced yard, then he needs plenty of exercise every day to help burn his energy. He also knows how to chill and snuggle with his person.  If you believe you have the perfect home for this super sweet boy, and you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area, please complete and app and tell us more about your family
