Details

Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Thomas! He is about 2 years old and does best with female dogs. He weighs around 60 pounds and is full grown. I wouldn’t recommend a family with small children or kids that don’t understand that this dog doesn’t like to be jerked around or have his body rudely messed with. I mean, that should be something granted every dog but clearly it’s not. Anywho, back to Thomas, he is a shepherd and something scruffy and adorable blend!
