About Tobey

Tobey is a sleek black Labrador Retriever mix, about a year old, and weighing around 50 lbs. He has a friendly and loving demeanor, always eager to connect with humans. Tobey enjoys chasing toys and has received some tracking training. With a medium energy level, he loves hiking, car rides, and playing in the yard. While Tobey is crate trained, he prefers human company and would thrive in a home with another dog his size. He gets along well with dogs but does not tolerate cats due to his prey drive. His youthful spirit can make him a bit goofy, and he tends to jump excitedly at times. However, his playful nature would make him a great fit for a structured home with children. Tobey's ideal family will have time to dedicate to him, showering him with love and attention. A fenced yard for playing fetch would be a perfect bonus. Before adoption, he will be neutered and brought up to date on his vaccinations, ensuring he’s ready for his new adventure. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
