Story
Meet Tom – Your New Best Friend Wrapped in Wiggles and Charm Tom is a squatty, wiggly, absolutely lovable 58-lb bully mix who was found as a stray in mid-May. At around 2 years old, he’s that magical age where puppy playfulness meets grown-up companionship — fun, affectionate, and ready to bond. Tom came in with his brother, who has already been adopted. Now Tom is patiently waiting for his turn. Through everything, he’s stayed joyful, confident, and endlessly loving. He greets everyone like a long-lost friend, offering full-body wiggles, big smiles, and a happiness that’s impossible to ignore. Despite his short, stocky build, Tom is all bounce and personality. He adores people and thrives on connection. He’ll lean into you for pets, follow you just to be near, and soak up attention like it’s his favorite thing in the world — because it is. Whether he’s playing, exploring, or curling up close by, Tom just wants to be part of your life. Tom is dog friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs, but he’d be just as happy being your one and only, soaking up every ounce of love and devotion for himself. What matters most to Tom isn’t how many dogs are in the home — it’s that he belongs. Resilient, joyful, and full of heart, Tom is ready to leave his stray days behind and give his whole self to a family who sees how special he is. If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh, love you deeply, and greet every day like it’s the best one yet — Tom is waiting. Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to meet Tom and fall in love.
