TOBY's Story

OTHER PETS: Toby has been comfortable with other dogs, and seems to read body language well too. He would likely be a good match for another relaxed, social dog in the home, but as always will need to meet any dogs he will be living with prior to adoption. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Toby is an easy-going dog, but he is older and may need more intensive vet care than a young dog. He would do best with someone that has an established relationship with a vet to ensure that he continues to age gracefully, and remains comfortable throughout his years. [Some Experience] KIDS: Toby has been tolerant of handling and hasn't shown any signs of resource guarding while at TJO. He could be a good match for a family with kids, but he is still an older dog and may not like to play as much as a higher-energy dog. Interactions between children and dogs should always be actively monitored to ensure that both parties remain comfortable and safe. [Likely (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Toby doesn't have as much interest in toys or running around as he probably used to. He's more interested in spending time with his favorite people, and is just as happy to laze around as he is to take a leisurely walk around the block. Interests may change in a new home, a combination of regular exercise and plenty of mental enrichment will help meet his needs. [Couch Potato] VETERINARY CARE: Toby is currently in need of a dental that TJO will provide. He may also have some renal issues that we are currently waiting on the blood test results for. [Above Average / Intensive] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Toby not only learn his basic cues & skills, but also help him to bond with his new owner as well. [Minimal] GROOMING: Because of his fur texture, Toby will require routine brushing to ensure that he does not become matted. [Routine Brushing]
