About Tommy
💛 About Tommy
Tommy is a young boy who is still adjusting to the world around him and is looking for a patient, understanding home where he can feel safe. At this stage, Tommy is very unsure of people and is not yet comfortable with pats or human contact. While he prefers to keep his distance, he is quietly observing his surroundings and learning about the people caring for him but has shown no aggression.
Although Tommy has a long journey ahead of him in building confidence and trust, he has already shown that he can maintain good habits and routines while settling into care. He will need a family willing to let him progress at his own pace, without expectations, and celebrate the small victories along the way.

Adoption details
Please do not apply to adopt via our animals' PetRescue profile.
Follow the links below to be directed to the Wollongong City Council website, and find your preferred animal's online profile.
Once in the online profile, scroll down and click the link to complete an adoption application. Once received, a member of our team will be in touch to discuss your application and suitability for your preferred animal.
If we deem the animal to be suitable for your home and lifestyle, an in-person meet and greet may be organised. Should your meet and greet be a success, you can take your new furry friend home that day or following their desexing surgery. Our team will manage all your animal's paperwork, including ownership and vaccination documentation.
