Adopt or foster Toby aka colossal! Who remembers this boy? He spent his whole life chained up. At such a young age he didn’t let that hold him down. He’s a happy-go-lucky pup. We wish he could have chose his life but he was handed the ruff start…. Now he gets to be what he wanted to be.. a big puppy!! Toby is people friendly and dog friendly. He’s living life in his foster home right now and now he’s looking for a forever home. What a change from the chain life. Toby now has his own voice and he has a few things he wanted to say. Hi! My name is Toby. I’m a medium-size, 11 month old shepherd mix. The best word to describe me is cheerful. That’s pretty amazing when you think about the way my life was before I was rescued. My original family couldn’t afford to feed me and I was tied to a short rope my whole life. That was really scary, but I don’t hold a grudge. Despite my rough start, I understand not to potty in the crate and I walk very well on a leash (well I do get a little distracted by interesting smells, but hey, I’m a dog!). I never pull, and really enjoy going on walks. I love hanging out in my yard with my foster brothers and sisters, and I adore people. My whole body wags when my people come home, and I run to them every time they call. I will love you and make you cheerful too, so please be my fur-ever family. I am neutered, chipped and vaccinated. I love dogs and love people despite my past. Please apply to meet me! Located in Thousand Oaks ca
