About Tori

Meet Tori! This spirited five-year-old German Shepherd/Siberian Husky mix is a ray of sunshine in Amherst, MA. Wrapped in a sleek tan and black coat, her heart is full of fetch-loving joy. Although her records estimate her age at five, her boundless energy and playful demeanor suggest she might just think she’s two, as her vet has noted. Tori starts her day ready for adventure, living for her daily games of fetch. Not only does she chase the ball with enthusiasm, but she also brings it back as if it’s her duty. Her love for the outdoors goes hand in paw with the loyalty she shows to her people. She thrives in a structured home filled with consistent play. Weighing around 50 pounds, Tori is a medium-sized dog with a big personality. She’s house-trained, spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. She knows several commands, including sit, stay, wait, and down, and she has an impressive recall during walks. Though she can be reactive towards small or off-leash dogs, Tori responds well to clear boundaries and positive reinforcement. Previously, she shared her space peacefully with an older dog, but she’s currently looking to be the only pet. Affectionate and endlessly playful, Tori loves attention. She greets strangers with wagging tails and warm snuggles. While she can handle being left alone for short periods, she flourishes with a set routine of meals, walks, fetch, and bedtime cuddles. With some excitement, she has a tendency to jump, so ongoing training will help her grow even further. Tori is searching for a loving adoptive home with a fenced yard and the commitment to provide daily exercise and enrichment. Could your heart and home be where Tori thrives next?
