This very handsome boy, with cute little legs and mismatched ears, is Tomasz! He is a 13-year-old small crossbreed with a wonderfully youthful spirit. He is in the care of RSPCA West Hatch Animal Centre near Taunton in Somerset.
Tomasz is inquisitive, affectionate, and full of joy for life. He is quite hard of hearing, but that certainly doesn’t stop him from wanting to be involved in everything around him. Because he cannot hear you call, he needs to remain on a lead when out and about unless in a secure enclosed area.
Whether he’s happily pottering around independently or curled up beside you for a cuddle, Tomasz is incredibly people-oriented and especially enjoys a good ear scratch. He recently spent some time in a foster home for a break from kennel life, which gave the rescue the opportunity to see him relaxed in a home environment. While he settled in well, Tomasz will still need a little support and reassurance as he adjusts to a new home. He is not used to being left alone and feels safest when close to his person. He will need to gradually get used to being left for short periods. Tomasz is house-trained, asks to go into the garden when he needs the toilet, and sleeps soundly through the night.
He has interacted positively with other dogs and could potentially live with a calm, compatible dog. Tomasz could also live with older teenagers. He shows quite a strong interest in cats, so he would be happiest in a home without cats or smaller animals. At the moment, Tomasz is not particularly comfortable travelling, so this is something that should be introduced gradually and positively. He may travel more comfortably in a crate rather than using a seatbelt harness.
Tomasz is looking for a patient and understanding family who will give him a little time to settle into home life. With consistency, reassurance, and kindness, there is no limit to what this lovely boy can achieve. If you’re searching for an adorable, endearing companion with a huge personality and an even bigger heart, Tomasz could be the perfect match for you.
Could you offer Tomasz his ideal new home?
