Tom Tom
Tom Tom is a gentle older boy who needs a nice quiet home to relax in. He can be easily worried, so will need someone patient and understanding to make sure he gets the time he needs to feel fully comfortable in his new surroundings. When you have won over his trust, he is very sweet and affectionate, but he can be picky with who he calls his friends. This makes it feel even more special when he does open up to you and lean in for cheek tickles!
To avoid him wandering back to his previous home, Tom Tom cannot be rehomed to some areas around Trowbridge.
