Hi, my name is Tom and I am a Chi/Terrier mix they say, but my foster mom thinks differently since I am 4 months old and still growing, coming in at 25lbs! 

I am a very sweet boy who enjoys run and play time but also LOVES to snuggle super close to you on the couch or in bed!  I will be your BEST cuddle buddy! 
 
I am working on potty training and am doing a wonderful job with going outside to go potty, however, I recently learned, I do not like when it is raining outside, that makes my paws wet and I don't like that feeling! I love watching the birds, squirrels and other critters out the sliding glass door and will often sit there as well when I have to go potty, so my foster mom has to pay attention to that as I usually do not make a sound when I have to go out. I am crate trained and love sleeping in my crate at night and during the day and do not mind being in it. My foster mom has left me out at night and has also kennelled me up at night and either way I am okay with it. I do usually have to go potty once during the night and that is when I whimper to let her know. 
 
I live with my brother so it has been fun to have another dog to play with, but it will be best that we go to separate homes as we compete for attention and I like to steal his toys and treats ALL THE TIME! I would probably do okay with another dog in the home similar to my size  but maybe not smaller since I like to play a little harder. I have not been around Cats and not sure how I would do with them. I do live with 2 resident Bunnies but I have never seen them as they live upstairs and I stay on the main floor. My foster mom thinks I would probably not get along with them.  I am very trainable when treats are involved and love meal time! 
 
Current commands I know: Come, sit, wait, stay, down, outside - foster mom is very proud of me! 
I would love to find my furever home for Christmas!
