My story

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

Location: Sunbury, Ohio

Toby | Male | Australian Cattle Dog Mix
 
 Just over 1 year old | âš–️ ~60 lbs
 
Meet Toby — Your Built-In Play Buddy & Best Friend
 
Toby is officially out of the baby puppy phase and fully into his fun-loving, goofy young adult era — and he is thriving. This handsome cattle dog mix is all about movement, interaction, and joy. If you’re looking for a dog who wants to play, learn, and be part of your everyday life, Toby is your guy.
 
Toby is the kind of dog who lights up when he has someone to engage with — whether that’s a human tossing toys, a dog friend to romp with, or a training session that lets his smart brain shine. He’s social, affectionate, and always ready for the next adventure (or belly rub).
 
He:
✔️ Loves other dogs and enjoys active play
✔️ Does well with kids
✔️ Is crate trained and doing well with house training
✔️ Is neutered, microchipped, and fully up-to-date on vaccines
 
Toby is still learning some impulse control — mostly because life is just so exciting — but he’s incredibly eager to please and responds well to structure, routine, and positive reinforcement. He’ll do best in a home that wants to engage with him, not just coexist.
 
His favorite things include:  Playtime (the more, the better)
 Dog friends
 Learning new things
❤️ Attention… all of it
 Making people laugh with his happy, goofy personality
 
 BONUS 
Adopt Toby and receive:
A FREE one-on-one training session with Wolfman's Canines (Ohio)
PLUS $600 OFF any training package over $1,200
 
This is an incredible opportunity to help Toby start off strong and set your future together up for success!
 
If you’re ready for a loyal, playful companion who wants a partner in fun and growth, Toby is waiting for you.

More about this rescue

We are an all volunteer group that rescues Australian Cattle Dogs. Our dogs reside in foster homes until they are adopted
Every year, thousands of Australian Cattle Dogs find themselves homeless through no fault of their own. Although the reasons are diverse, the result is the same. Healthy, adoptable dogs face euthanasia in shelters.

The Australian Cattle Dog Rescue Association rescues ACDs in shelters from Maine to Georgia and gives these dogs a fresh start with a loving family. Our foster home volunteers welcome the dogs into their homes where they live as members of the family. During the time in foster care, our volunteers determine what kind of forever home will be the right one for each dog.
