Toby is a silver Lab mix with striking looks and a gentle spirit, weighing about 50 pounds and around three years old. He’s quiet, mannerly, and house-trained, with a strong preference for calm, patient company. He walks well on leash, knows his basic commands, and prefers affection over rough play. Toby tends to bond tightly with his person—he’s the sort of dog that puts his full trust in someone once he feels safe. Growing up alongside a Golden Retriever, Toby didn’t interact with many outside dogs as a pup, so quick introductions can make him nervous. He does best with slow, careful meet-and-greets, and with time, he gains confidence and opens up to new dog friends. Because of this, he’d do best in a dog-free home or with an experienced owner who knows how to help dogs read each other and develop trust. Toby enjoys long walks, hikes, and quiet companionship. If you’re looking for a steady, sensitive partner for outdoor adventures and downtime alike, Toby stands ready for the job. He gets along with cats and children, making him a wonderful match for the right family. Toby is available for foster or adoption in Waitsfield, VT. Give them the home they have been waiting for.
