Meet Toby, a handsome 3-year-old silver Lab mix weighing about 50 pounds with a gentle heart and soulful eyes. Toby is the kind of dog who forms a deep bond with his person and becomes an incredibly loyal companion. Toby is house-trained and crate-trained, walks well on a leash, and is getting to know his basic commands. He has wonderful manners and is very sweet and submissive with people-he doesn't jump up and prefers calm affection and companionship. If you're someone who enjoys walking, hiking, or exploring the outdoors, Toby would love to be right by your side. Toby was raised with a Golden Retriever but didn't have much exposure to other dogs growing up. Because of that, he can be nervous when unfamiliar dogs approach him quickly, especially face-to-face. With slow introductions and time to build trust, he settles in and becomes much more comfortable. He has already been making great progress meeting the same dogs repeatedly and learning that they're friends. Toby can be your only pet or live with another mannerly dog if the owner is experienced and will use tried and true strategies for creating a lasting canine bond. Both dogs should have slow introductions. We're happy to advise! Toby truly is a super sweet, sensitive soul who just needs someone patient and kind to help him feel safe. In return, you'll get a loyal companion who is happiest sharing life and adventures with his people. Once Toby bonds with his person, he becomes a devoted partner and could even enjoy off-leash adventures in the right environment. We are sorry to report that Toby is crated for 13 hours per day. We consider this an urgent situation. PLEASE complete an adoption application at www.goldenhuggs.org and tell them Animal Rescue Konnection (ARK) sent you!
