Tom, a friendly and outgoing young boy who recently found himself at the shelter through no fault of his own. Tom has a zest for life and approaches each day with a playful and carefree attitude. His infectious joy and positive energy are bound to bring a smile to your face.

While Tom may have a few areas where he can improve, such as mouthiness and jumping, it's important to remember that he's still learning and adapting to new surroundings. With patience, consistent training, and positive reinforcement, Tom will overcome these minor challenges and grow into a well-behaved and balanced companion.

Despite his current circumstances, Tom maintains his fun-loving nature and remains bewildered about how he ended up in the shelter. He thrives on human interaction and craves love and attention. Tom's genuine and warm-hearted personality will quickly win you over, and you'll wonder how anyone could have let such a delightful companion slip away.

By offering Tom a loving home, you have the opportunity to provide him with the stability and security he needs. With time and guidance, he will flourish into the best version of himself and become an invaluable part of your life.

If you're ready to embark on a journey of growth, love, and companionship, Tom is eagerly waiting for a second chance. Open your heart and welcome this playful and fun-loving guy into your home, and together, you can create a lifetime of cherished memories and unwavering loyalty.

Introducing Chapo, an enthusiastic and affectionate pup who is eagerly awaiting his forever home! From the moment you meet him, you'll be captivated by his friendly and outgoing nature. Chapo loves meeting new people and has quickly become a favorite among our shelter volunteers.

Despite his incredible personality and handsome looks, it's puzzling why Chapo has been at the shelter for so long. He has already mastered basic commands thanks to the dedicated volunteers who have been working with him. His eagerness to learn and please makes him a joy to train.

Not only does Chapo adore people, but he is also a social butterfly with other dogs. If you have a canine companion at home who would appreciate a playmate, Chapo would be the perfect addition to your family.

It's important to note that Chapo has been neutered, which is a responsible step in ensuring his health and preventing unwanted litters.

If you're searching for a loving and playful companion, don't miss the opportunity to meet Chapo. Visit the Trenton Animal Shelter or join us at our adoption event at PetSmart to get to know him better. Our volunteers will be thrilled to introduce you to this incredible pup and provide you with any additional information you may need.

Give Chapo the chance he deserves to bring happiness and love into your life. Adopting him will not only change his life but will also enrich yours with endless tail wags, cuddles, and memories to cherish.
