Toby - 2 Month Old Labrador Retriever X (On Trial)

Meet the super cute Toby. He is a happy go lucky puppy, who is ready for the big wide world and to begin his life of adventures.

Toby will bring so much joy to you and your home. All the cuddles and smooching you can handle.

He is very loyal and loves nothing more than following you wherever you go or laying at your feet in his bed while you relax.

He looks to you for guidance and reassurance when trying new things, but will then give anything a go. He is currently learning how to be the bestest dog. Trying his hardest at toilet training, using the doggy door, sleeping in his crate and walking on a lead.

Toby is not a high energy puppy and is very calm and easy going. He is currently living with three small male dogs over the age of ten and two small humans who he adores. He enjoys having a play with his foster fur brothers but will then return to be near his humans.

Toby is super cute with soulful eyes, floppy ears and beautiful colouring. He is predominantly a dark chocolate brown, but has golden highlights and a white lightning bolt on his chest, all of which make him unique.

Toby is going to be a medium to large dog with loads of love to give. He will need someone in his life who is prepared to have a large dog and all that goes with it.

Toby deserves a fun-loving family who is home and allows him inside. In return he will fill your house with love and nothing but positive energy!

Toby is a fast learner but like all puppies, he will benefit from puppy school and needs a family who is willing to commit to consistent training, regular exercise, socialisation, mental stimulation and opportunities for games, walks, and lots of play.

Toby has not been tested with cats or pocket pets but he has a calm nature and is young enough to learn how to interact appropriately with them.

Toby is microchipped and has had his first vaccination. He is also flea, tick and worm treated.

He is not yet desexed and will need to be at 6 months with proof of sterilisation from one of our approved vets. For this reason he is not available for interstate adoption.

This organisation's adoption policy is moderate. What does this mean?

(1) The first step is to fill in our online Adoption Questionnaire: https://tinyurl.com/drnadopt
(2) If the questionnaire is approved we will arrange a property check so we can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've applied for.
(3) After that we will arrange for you to meet the pet, usually at the foster carer's home, nearby park or your home.
(4) If both sides agree, then you can pay for and adopt your new family member! The two week trial begins on the day of adoption.
