You can see more beautiful dogs by visiting our Adoptable Dogs page. Our Toby is reviewing applications for his furever home! Toby is very much the gentle giant, he is very sweet and the pyrfect gentleman. He has a soft spot for his two legged foster siblings, and the feeling is mutual. Toby can often be found keeping an eye out while his young charges play, and he will join in their fun games every now and then. Whenever there is a skinned knee or a scraped elbow, Toby is almost always the first on scene to provide comfort. He adores babies and will go out of his way to get over to one! During the day, Toby loves to spend his time chewing his bones outdoors until the kids come home. This big boy also likes to stash his "stuff" in a pile, and occasionally adds toys to his pile, you know, just in case he needs them on a rainy day :) Toby is more of an introvert, so he does take a bit of time to warm up (he does enjoy being with men - "dads' are his favorite people :) Toby will do best in a home with children where he will be included as an essential part of the family. A female canine companion would also be great as well as a kitty for companionship. Shower him with love and patience and Toby will be very happy.

Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
