Fall River Forever Paws Thomas is sweet, affectionate, outgoing and loves people

Meet Fall River Forever Paws Pet of the Week Thomas!

Thomas is a young beagle mix because he’s way too tall to be full beagle. Forever Paws doesn’t know exactly what he’s mixed with but it’s definitely some kind of hound. He’s only about a year old so very, VERY much still a crazy goofy goober with puppy-like energy and behaviors. He’s about 35lbs so a good medium-sized boy…just with very long legs.

Thomas is all things beagle – he has the big beagle bark, the need for speed, and the never-ending urge to chase rabbits and squirrels. He does well with other dogs and just wants to play with them immediately so any other dog in the home will need to match the ✨vibes✨ They are looking for a home without cats – he’ll be an instigator and pester them incessantly at the absolute minimum.

Unfortunately for Thomas, he is heartworm positive. He will be starting treatment soon, so they are looking for a “foster to adopt” arrangement. Treatment will be handled by Forever Paws at one of their local vets so adopters must be prepared and be able to reliably make it to and from appointments. He also needs his activity restricted – leash walks are okay but, much to his displeasure, the speed demon antics need to be put on hold for now. He isn’t terrible on a leash but does have the tendency to zigzag.

Thomas is a sweet, affectionate, outgoing guy that loves people, attention, and all kinds of affection. He’ll run right up to anyone and be their best friend – stranger danger is not a concept he knows, and he doesn’t care to find out. He’s just looking for his partner in crime.
