Toby ~ 3 year old Cattle Dog X (on trial 7-4-18)

Just call me lover boy!

My name’s Toby and I’m a three year old Cattle dog cross and I have the best smile in the business.

I just love having company – long walks (usually I’m very good on the lead) and just lazing around - inside or out. I’m pretty smart – even smarter when you offer me treats. Sometimes, I can get a bit excited leaping around, but that just because I love being around people. (I’d probably be better sharing a house with adults or older children.)

I haven’t spent much time with other dogs lately; I’m the only dog at my current foster home so I’d have to meet another dog before I decided to share a home with them. Right now, I live with some chooks – they’re on the other side of the fence and not that interesting really; and a very large Ginger cat named Oscar. Oscar is definitely the boss here – sometimes I say I’d like to play but he reminds me that that’s not the deal – and I respect that.

I really love a good hug – I’d even sit on your knee if you let me.

I didn’t have a great start – my first family were pretty mean so sometimes I can frighten easily with loud noises or yelling. You’ll need good fences (or to play with me all day) because I’m pretty athletic and a low fence won’t stop me going for my own walk up the street. The really good news is that I’m not a digger or a random barker.

If you would like to meet him, please contact please contact Gillian on 0408 016 303 or email gillianweatherall@gmail.com. Toby is currently in care in Newcastle area.

Toby’s adoption fee is $450 and he is desexed, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms, microchipped, and lifetime registered.
