Tom is an 8-year-old heeler mix with a heart as big as his personality. This sweet, intelligent boy thrives on connection and loves nothing more than being close to his people. Whether it’s following you from room to room, relaxing at your feet, or learning something new, Tom is happiest when he’s part of your world. He’s incredibly smart and eager to learn, making him a great companion for someone who enjoys engaging with their dog and continuing to build on his skills. Tom already has a solid foundation and would love a home that appreciates his bright mind and loyal nature. Tom would do best as the only pet in the home, as he isn’t comfortable around other dogs or cats. In the right environment, though, he truly shines—offering unwavering companionship, affection, and a calm, steady presence. If you’re looking for a devoted, clever, and loving companion to share your days with, Tom might just be your perfect match.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is working to end the killing of dogs and cats in U.S. shelters in part by getting more pets out of shelters and into loving homes.

We’ve come a long way since the first known city reached no-kill in 1994, and now we’re closer than ever to making the entire country no-kill. Of the roughly 3,900 shelters operating in America today, 1,300 of them are not yet no-kill, but nearly half are close with 100 or fewer additional pets to be saved, and we know what to do to get them there.

Best Friends is committed to working with passionate people like you to save homeless pets through adoption, volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. In addition to our lifesaving centers around the U.S, we also founded and run the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals.

Working together, we can save homeless pets in our communities and secure a better future for our best friends. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill.
