Tom here! You know me! I'm the "tall, dark and handsome" young man in the Lufkin Room at Lakeland Animal Shelter. Well, maybe I'm not exactly tall but I sure am dark and handsome. In fact, I have the most gorgeous black ears and muzzle and two (count them...two!) beauty marks. I also have a really cool black tip on my tail and the cutest little ring around it too.
But, enough about my good looks. I should tell you about my "real" self. You see, I'm kind of shy and a little afraid of people so I'm a bit hard to get to know but, boy oh boy, when you do, you'll see what an AWESOME boy I really am.
I love to head to one of the shelter's meeting rooms and play with whatever toys I can find. I especially love soft "stuffies" and shaking the daylights out of them. I also love to run like the wind in the play yard! It's been a bit tricky lately with all the snow but you know how the saying goes, "where there's a will, there's a way"!
However, as much as I like doing these things at the shelter, I would be SO MUCH HAPPIER doing them in a caring and loving home with my new family. So, Santa, if you could find me the home of my "doggie" dreams, I would be so VERY GRATEFUL, and, oh yes, so VERY VERY HAPPY!
