Here's what the humans have to say about me:
TOBY***CONTACT MICHELLE mmay@kylabrescue.com---TOBY'S STORY--HE DESERVED BETTER!!! WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ONE OF THE HIGHEST KILL SHELTERS IN THE SOUTH LETTING US KNOW THAT TOBY'S FAMILY HAD JUST SURRENDERED HIM TO HER SHELTER. THE FAMILY WALKED IN, TIED TOBY TO A POLE, SIGNED THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK GIVING HIM UP AND WHEN THE DIRECTOR ASKED WHY THEY WEREN'T KEEPING TOBY, THEY REPLIED "WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR HIM, WE DON'T WANT HIM!!!" THE FAMILY TURNED AND LEFT NEVER EVEN SAYING GOODBYE TO TOBY. THE DIRECTOR TOLD US THAT TOBY STOOD LOOKING OUT THE SHELTER WINDOW WATCHING AS HIS FAMILY DROVE AWAY. HIS TAIL WAS WAGGING AS IF HE KNEW THEY WERE COMING BACK FOR HIM, THEY DIDN'T!!! "THIS IS THE SWEETEST FELLOW, HE IS SO GENTLE AND LOVING. HE WOULD BE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO ANY FAMILY. HE DOESN'T BELONG HERE. WE ARE EXTREMELY FULL, CAN YOU HELP HIM?" WAS HER PLEA TO US. ALL IT TOOK WAS ONE PICTURE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL FELLOW AND WE WERE ON OUR WAY WITHIN MINUTES TO HELP. WHEN WE SAW TOBY WE SPOKE SOFTLY TO HIM, GAVE HIM A TREAT AND HIS TAIL HASN'T STOP WAGGING. TOBY PRANCED RIGHT OUT OF THE SHELTER THAT DAY, EYES SPARKLING ALL READY TO BEGIN HIS NEW LIFE. WHEN OUR DIRECTOR OPENED HER CAR DOOR TOBY GAVE HER A LICK ON HER HAND, MAYBE THIS WAS HIS WAY OF THANKING HER!!! *** TOBY--GENTLE--LOVING--WITH HIS "MELT YOUR HEART" FACE!!!!" TOBY IS ABSOLUTELY THE SWEETEST, 1 YEAR OLD, 65 LB., YELLOW(ALMOST WHITE) LABRADOR RETRIEVER. DON'T PLAN ON KEEPING YOUR HEART WHEN YOU SEE TOBY BECAUSE ONE LOOK AT THAT FACE AND YOU'LL BE A GONNER!!! THE FIRST THING THAT WILL CATCH YOUR ATTENTION IS WHAT A BEAUTIFUL FELLOW HE IS. HIS COAT IS SO SOFT IT FEELS LIKE VELVET, A PALE PALE CHAMPAGNE COLOR, YOU WILL WANT TO PAT AND RUB TOBY ALL DAY AND AS MUCH AS HE LOVES PATS AND ATTENTION THIS IS JUST FINE WITH HIM. HE SOAKS UP EVERY MOMENT WHEN GIVEN HUGS, TREATS AND KISSES. HIS FACE IS HIGHLIGHTED WITH SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES WE HAVE SEEN. THEY ARE "HUGE" A RICH, DARK CHESTNUT COLOR WITH A TRUE "LOVE ME" EXPRESSION. TOBY GIVES TRUE MEANING TO THE WORD "COMPANION". HE IS DEEPLY AFFECTIONATE, DEVOTED AND EXTREMELY LOVING, EASY GOING, A JOY TO BE AROUND. HIS TRUE HAPPINESS IS BEING WITH HIS FAMILY. TOBY ALSO ENJOYS THE COMPANY OF OTHER DOGS, HIS ONLY REQUEST IS THAT THEY WILL PLAY WITH HIM(HE'S EVEN FINE WITH CATS) WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLS FOR IS FINE WITH TOBY JUST TAKE HIM ALONG. HE WOULD LOVE AN EARLY MORNING WALK TO THE PARK, JUST A CHANCE FOR TOBY TO MEET A NEW PLAY BUDDY. IF YOU HAD ERRANDS TO RUN AROUND TOWN DON'T LET TOBY HEAR YOU JINGLE YOUR KEYS UNLESS YOU PLAN ON TAKING HIM ALONG, JUST OPEN THE CAR DOOR, IN TOBY WILL HOP, HE WILL FIND HIS SEAT TURN THAT ADORABLE HEAD TO ONE SIDE AND GIVE YOU HIS "OK I'M READY LET'S GO " LOOK. TOBY'S TRUE HAPPINESS IS JUST BEING WITH THOSE HE LOVES. TOBY IS WHAT WE CALL A "GO WITH THE FLOW DOG", A LOVING, SWEET FELLOW. THERE IS ANOTHER PART TO THIS COMPANION PUP'S PACKAGE AND IT IS APPARENT AFTER SPENDING ANY TIME WITH TOBY, THIS IS ONE SMART LAB!!! HE IS ALWAYS ALERT AND IN-TUNE TO HIS SURROUNDINGS. A PUP THAT DELIGHTS IN LEARNING WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TEACH HIM, HE IS TREAT MOTIVATED WHICH MAKES TRAINING A BREEZE. HE FINDS NEW THINGS INTERESTING AND A CHALLENGE. HE TRULY SEEMS TO SMILE WHEN HE KNOWS HE HAS DONE SOMETHING THAT PLEASES THOSE HE LOVES, THIS PUP IS EAGER TO PLEASE, THE SKY'S THE LIMIT WITH THIS EXCEPTIONAL GUY. HE IS A TRUE "OPEN BOOK" AND IT'S UP TO YOU TO FILL THE PAGES WITH PATS--HUGS--FUN--PLAY--TRAINING-- BUT MOST OF ALL AND MOST IMPORTANT FILL THIS PUP'S BOOK WITH A TON OF LOVE. WE FEEL THAT THE PERFECT HOME FOR TOBY WOULD BE WITH A COUPLE, SINGLE GUY OR GIRL OR A FAMILY WITH CHILDREN OLD ENOUGH TO PLAY WITH HIM BUT ALSO CHILDREN WHO WOULD ENJOY QUIET TIME WITH TOBY WHILE THEY DID THEIR HOMEWORK OR WATCHED A MOVIE, A FAMILY WHO WOULD INCLUDE TOBY IN EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIFE. YOU WILL BE REWARDED EVERYDAY TOBY IS A PART OF YOUR LIFE WITH A GENTLE, LOVING GUY WHO IS DEVOTED TO HIS FAMILY AND LOVES WITH EVERY FIBER OF HIS BEING. BEING PART OF A FAMILY IS THE ONLY LIFE TOBY HAS EVER KNOWN, THE LIFE HE SO DESERVES TO KNOW AGAIN. TOBY IS A LOVING, HAPPY PUP WHO'S ONLY WISH IS TO BELONG TO A FAMILY WHO WILL SEE WHAT A TREASURE HE IS AND LOVE HIM. IF THE "COMPANION" YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD TO YOUR LIFE IS ONE THAT IS GENTLE--AFFECTIONATE--DEEPLY TRUSTING, WHO'S GREATEST JOY IS PLEASING, LOVING HIS FAMILY AND A PUP WITH THE MOST ADORABLE "LOVE ME" FACE THEN LOOK NO FURTHER YOU'VE FOUND TOBY!!!
