My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Toffee/Bam Bam was an owner surrender in Nov, 2024 due to the owner not having time for him. So he dropped him off at the New York Animal Care Centers - the NYC municipal shelter.

He was stressed and scared. He was marked as "RESCUE. ONLY". He was then scheduled for euthanasia but a wonderful woman stepped up to save his life. She rehabbed him and worked with him and now he's ready for his forever home.

Meet Toffee/Bam Bam: Your New Best Friend


Toffee/Bam Bam would thrive in a home with a fenced yard for running around would be ideal. A loving home where Toffee can have plenty of active outdoor time but also hang out on the comfy couch while his people watch tv.

Toffee loves to look out the window to see what's going on. He is fascinated by squirrels and birds. Toffee gets very excited meeting new people. He knows basic commands like "sit" and takes treats gently when reminded to be
"easy"

Toffee has come a long way in foster and would do best with an experienced and patient owner. He still needs a bit of leash training but has learned to "heel" while using the prong collar. He still has some resource guarding issues around food, toys, and certain spaces, but is easily shifted/distracted from these behaviors with gentle commands. He enjoys counter surfing but responds to "leave it" and "come" to get a small treat. Toffee has some separation anxiety and is known to tear things in his crate when his person leaves him alone. Giving him a chewy treat or toy helps curb this behavior somewhat. He gets excited meeting people and tends to try and jump gently on them for pets.

Toffee is a handsome brindle boy with a very sweet disposition. He loves meeting new people and making new friends. Toffee is active and enjoys going for walks and exploring. He loves nothing more than snuggling on the couch on a warm blankie next to me while I'm reading or watching a movie. This is a very loving and lovable dog.
