Hi. Toby here.

Ten months old. Sixty pounds. Blue eyes that tend to get me out of trouble. Sometimes.

Let’s get something straight. I am not just a pretty face with zoomies.

I am housebroken. Solid. I know where to go and where not to. I’m nicely trained. I understand boundaries. You set the rule, I respect it. I like knowing the expectations. Makes life easier for both of us.

I’m e-collar trained and I have great recall. Call me and I come. Not a slow “let me think about it.” I come. If you have a fenced backyard, amazing. I will treat it like my personal playground. If you don’t, I can still do well because I listen.

Now about the fun part.

I’ve got puppy energy. Real deal energy. I love to run, wrestle, chase, and play. Another playful dog would be a dream. I’m great with dogs. Great with kids too. Just slightly older kids are best because I’m enthusiastic and occasionally forget I’m not pocket sized.

People call me a character. I make expressions. I tilt my head when you talk. I follow you around because I like being part of your world. If you move, I’m curious. If you sit, I’m nearby. I’m loyal like that.

I started life on a euthanasia list with my siblings. That was almost my whole story. Instead, I got a second chance. I grew up. I learned manners. I turned into a really good dog.

Now I just need my person.

I’m playful. I’m trained. I’m smart. I’m handsome. I’m ready.

Come meet me. Bring a ball. Let’s see what happens.
