This sweet 16-month old boy is one of the best dogs you will ever meet! After a rocky start in life that would have soured most dogs on people in general, especially on men, Toby is more determined than ever to find his perfect person or family.

Toby will need continued reinforcement of the training, behavior modification, and socializing that he’s received while in rescue … all of which are based on positive reinforcement techniques. Toby’s a very quick learner who is highly motivated to win praise from people. Through the use of positive reinforcement only – consistent repetition, unswerving patience and rewarding with treats – Toby now readily responds to basic commands including sit, down, off, leave it, easy, wait, paw, go to bed, and quiet.

Toby is great in the car and would be the ultimate road-trip companion. He jumps into the back seat of FM’s SUV on his own, then settles after his harness is attached to a dog safety belt. He’s crate-trained and goes in readily on the command, “go to bed,” followed by tossing him a small treat. Although he’ll occasionally whine in the crate if he hears activity and feels he’s missing out on fun, it’s easily resolved with a firm “quiet, Toby.” He actually enjoys taking naps in his covered crate and he will often go stand by his crate when he’s tired. Like most youngsters, his behavior is best when he gets adequate naps and downtime. He is 100% house-trained, however he is never left out of his crate when foster mom is not home, or when she’s unable to monitor his whereabouts, since he can get into mischief if left unattended.

Toby loves stuffed Kongs, chewing on bones and antlers, and playing with squeaky toys. He also adores pleasing his human(s)! He totally melts against you when he receives praise for his good listening skills and appropriate behavior, and turns into a total wiggle-butt when you sweet talk him!

Because he’s a 60 lb puppy who does not recognize his strength and size, families with young children are not recommended. Occasional dog-savvy young visitors would likely be okay, as long as they are monitored around him. Toby could easily be crated during their visit, too. Dog-savvy teenagers over 14 would be considered with a meet and greet.

Toby’s perfect adopter(s) are out there, and he can’t wait to meet them! He’s got so much love to give, and time’s a wastin’! Toby’s one goal in life is to find a forever home where he can give all his undying love, lots of joy and loyal companionship to some lucky person or family!
