Toffee

If you are looking for something sweet to come into your life, then you need to read on about the gorgeous little Toffee!

Toffee is the happiest little dog around. His tail is always wagging, and he is friends with all that he meets. Toffee loves attention, getting pats and cuddling up with you. After a day of fun, there is nothing better in Toffee’s mind then snuggling up with his people on the couch.

Although he is a small dog and only 6.7kg, Toffee is a pocket rocket & requires serious physical and mental stimulation.

This little cutie found himself in a rural NSW pound has since gone into foster care with another small breed dog who he has tried to tempt into playing with him, but she is a bit older than he is. Out walking, he is fine walking past others (sometimes a little nervous if the other dogs are big) and has tried to initiate play with others (mostly small dogs). We feel he would be best in a home where he has regular access to other small/medium friendly and playful dogs to have fun with so it would be great if his new owners had a network of friends/family with suitable dogs that he could have playdates with.

Toffee is a very active and excitable little dog who will require good daily exercise and purposeful mental stimulation throughout his life to keep him happy and healthy. He requires more than a daily walk & some play time & we'll only be considering homes that understand the needs of a higher energy dog and can fulfill them.

While in foster care, Toffee has been brushing up on his basic training and his new owners should be committed to continuing his training and give him appropriate exposure to new things out and about.

Toffee sleeps throughout the night on his bed and travels well in the car though he is always excited to know what fun adventure he is going on. He is very good to bath and handles basic grooming without a fuss.

We are looking for a dog experienced home for Toffee where he will be a loved member of the family and included in the daily activities. He would be fine to live in a home with another small playful and easy-going dog who is already fully trained so that his owner(s) can focus on his development. Toffee is fine being left at home with his foster carer’s other dog. He would also be fine to live as an only dog, but his new owners will need to be around more often than not, at least during the settling in period to assist him with the transition. Toffee will need to be allowed inside to be with his family and will need a warm comfy bed inside to sleep on at night.

Toffee has not met children while in care, but we feel he would be fine with older more dog savvy children who would not be fazed by him jumping up (10yo+ depending on confidence level with dogs).

He is bound to bring a lot of joy and happiness so if you want that in your life then you will need to complete a Dog Adoption Enquiry form on the Fetching Dogs website as the first step.

Please include plenty of details about your previous dog experience, current household members and the type of lifestyle you can offer gorgeous Toffee, along with your plans to fulfill his energy needs.
