Are you right for Toby?

Toby is a lovely, playful lad who is growing in confidence. He’ll flourish with patient adopters who will allow him the time and space he needs to find his paws. Toby loves to be out and about and would love to join a family who can keep him active and entertained. Quieter walking areas would be ideal for Toby whilst he continues his training as he can be nervous of new people and other dogs. It would be best to do a couple of meets here at the centre to help make friends with Toby before the big adoption day arrives. For any kids in the home, they will need to be 16yrs of age and comfortable around larger breeds.

Is Toby right for you?

Toby is a fun, young, amazing lad who can find the world all a bit much at times. He’ll benefit from gentle exposure and confidence building to help him grow. He enjoys spending time with those that he knows well, lapping up the affection and having a game of fetch. Toys are a big love of his so having a garden of his own for playtimes would be the dream! It’ll be very rewarding working with Toby as he gains confidence and unlocks his potential.
