TOMMY NJ - BEAGLE (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Beagle (short coat). Meet Tommy — A Gentle Soul Looking for His Next Chapter Tommy is a 10-year-old Beagle mix with a heart full of love and a lifetime of good manners. Originally from Brazil, he’s been cherished, well cared for, and treated with kindness every step of the way. In his younger years, Tommy had all the spunk and curiosity of a typical puppy, but with time, training, and plenty of love, he grew into a calm, well-behaved companion. He’s wonderfully social — having spent time in doggy daycare and even helping welcome guests when his family ran a small dog boarding service. He’s great with other dogs, respectful with cats, and gentle with children, though he prefers quiet companionship over rough-and-tumble play. These days, Tommy enjoys the simple pleasures: relaxing in a sunny spot, taking leisurely walks, and breathing in the fresh air. When he’s ready to go outside, he’ll politely tap the glass door with his paw — just one of his many sweet quirks. He knows basic commands like “sit” and “paw,” and will even give you a little high-five. Tommy eats only dry, beef-based food, as chicken once caused a skin allergy. He’s house-trained but may occasionally use a pee pad at night or if kept indoors for long stretches. Like many dogs, he can’t resist trying to sneak a sniff near the dinner table — especially when meat’s involved — but he respects clear boundaries. Life changes have brought his family to a difficult decision: moving to a smaller space, caring for a young child, and preparing for another baby during a high-risk pregnancy means they can no longer give Tommy the time and attention he deserves. Tommy is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations. He’s looking for a loving family with a little more time and space, where he can enjoy his golden years in peace and comfort. If you’re ready to open your heart to a loyal, gentle, and affectionate companion, Tommy is ready to meet you. If you are interested in meeting Tommy, please complete an adoption application at .ehrdogs and ask for him by name.
