T homas's story begins like many—a tiny pup, barely three months old, found stranded and immobile on the roadside after a nasty accident. X-rays revealed the bad news: a fractured pelvis and a broken tibia. But don't worry—this isn’t a sob story. Thomas is no quitter. With some expert bandaging, lots of cage rest, and a few months of recovery, Thomas bounced back. Well, almost. His fractures healed, but not quite the way we'd hoped—what the vets call a "malunion." Translation: his leg didn’t heal in perfect alignment, so now he drags it a bit. But here's the kicker: Thomas doesn’t let that slow him down one bit!
Thomas is as spirited as any dog, full of love, joy, and just the right amount of sass. He’s fantastic with humans and pretty good with other dogs too, though his strong-willed personality might mean a little training if you’ve got other pets at home. But don’t worry, he’s a quick learner—especially if treats are involved. Thomas is also a natural guard dog. Don’t let the limping leg fool you; he’s alert and protective of his turf.
Thomas has a limp, and no, it doesn’t trouble him. However, it does seem to bother those searching for the so-called “perfect dog.” Here’s the truth—Thomas is perfect, just not in the conventional sense. If you’re the sort of person who looks beyond appearances and has a heart big enough to embrace a dog who's a bit different, Thomas is prepared to reward you with a lifetime of love and loyalty. He’s already overcome so much, and now all he needs is someone to show him that his forever home is out there.
