Tommy

your support as a ‘foster from afar’ will help change this sato’s life forever.

Tommy showed up on Dead Dog Beach by himself one day. This beach is at the end of a very long isolated road and surrounded by thick jungle on all sides, so it is likely that Tommy was driven there and dumped intentionally. Our team tried to rescue him as soon as we saw him, but he did not trust us. Then another dog was dumped on the beach, Sandy (who is also a part of our Foster From Afar program), and the two of them became friends. When they both weren’t trying to evade our rescue attempts, we saw them playing and napping together on the beach.

Through lots of patience and hard work, we were able to gain their trust little by little. Sandy was rescued first, and then Tommy allowed us to rescue him too a few days later. Now Tommy is safely at our veterinary clinic and is completing his vetting protocols. Tommy is very shy, but our team is continuing to help him build his trust every day so that he can eventually fly to a forever family on the mainland and live the life that he deserves. In the meantime, he would love your support to continue getting the care he needs along his journey. Sign up to foster Tommy from afar below.

In exchange for any gift of $24 or more, you’ll receive a special digital postcard and a link to download a printable, foldable card. You can print the postcard for yourself to show off your foster dog or give the greeting card to a loved one as a gift to let them know that a grateful sato was fostered in their honor. We’ll also keep you in the loop of Tommy’s progress.  Just like an in-person foster, you’ll be among the first to know when he completes his vetting, flies to a new family, and has all his dreams come true.
