Adoption information
About Toby
Toby is a bright, energetic boy with a huge enthusiasm for life! Typical of his Border Collie nature, he is highly active in both body and mind and is looking for a family who can keep up with him.
Toby will thrive with dog-confident owners who understand the needs of an intelligent, active breed. Previous experience with similar breeds would be highly recommended. He’ll need plenty of mental stimulation alongside physical exercise, with activities such as agility, scent work, trick training and interactive enrichment being perfect for this clever boy.
Toby loves human company and wants to be included as part of the family, so an outdoor-only lifestyle won’t suit him. Enrichment toys and food activities will also help keep him happily occupied when home alone.
Due to his energetic and sometimes boisterous nature, Toby may be best suited to children aged 8+, although all ages could be considered following a successful meet.
With an active, committed family ready to train, challenge and include him, Toby will make a fun and rewarding companion.
