Meet Tobias - aka Toby, Toto, Tobes, or Tobles!

Toby is a spunky little pocket rocket. Standing about knee height and weighing 20kg Toby is a great size. This dude is eager to please and will do nearly anything for a pat and treat. He is super fast to pick up routines and know what is expected of him. It would seem that this guy has had some great manners and socialisation instilled as a pup so has a great foundation.

Toby loves people. Seriously, people are his most favourite thing in the whole world but, he isn't pushy or crazy when seeking interaction. He also loves car rides. This guy would be a great tradie dog. He can sit & shake with both paws and learns new commands quickly. He has great recall. Toby would do well with obedience, tricks, flyball or agility training.

Tobes alerts by barking. He doesn't bark unnecessarily though. He will bark when visitors arrive and if a snake is in the vicinity. He is also a ratter, due to this a home with small animals isn't recommended.

Toto loves people and other dogs. If he is left alone he can go looking for adventure on his own: however, he hasn't jumped the 1.2m fence at his foster carer's place, only pushed through an unsecured section. This has improved since settling in.

Tobles would be suited to a home where he gets a lot of human interaction. He would not be happy as a dog that is left in the yard by himself all day.

Tobias completed treatment for a mild case of heartworm while in care and requires a HW test in June 2024 (cost of which is covered by NQAR).

Tobias is $350 to adopt and comes desexed, microchipped, C5 vaccinated, heartworm treated and given flea/tick/worm prevention.
