Hi there! My name is Toffee, and I'm a 3-year-old, 52-lb female Australian Cattle Dog mix. While my breed mix might suggest high energy, I'm actually a laid-back girl who prefers cozy blankets, quiet time, and cuddling up with a favorite stuffed toy. I spent much of my early life on the streets, so I'm still learning that people can be kind. Because of this, I can be shy at first, but I have never shown any fear-based aggression. Once I feel safe, my sweet nature truly shines, and I form deep, loyal bonds with my people. I do very well with other dogs and coexist peacefully. I'm not especially playful, but I'm happy to share my space with canine friends—as long as they respect my naps, since being startled from deep sleep can be a little scary for me. I've also done well around cats. I haven't lived with children, but I would likely do best with older kids who can move slowly and give me time to build trust. I'm crate trained and puppy pad trained, as well as non-destructive when left out. I continue to make progress every day, and with patience, reassurance, and consistency, I'm gaining confidence with leash walking and the outdoors. I've had a difficult start to life, but I am an incredibly sweet girl who deserves a loving forever home and a person willing to show me that the world isn't such a scary place. Dogs like me often grow into the most devoted companions once we know we're safe.

Transporation
Toffee is currently located in Texas and can be adopted either locally or out of state. We coordinate everything with our ground transport teams to ensure safe arrival to the adopter, and we keep the adopter in the loop every step of the way. Transport costs are included in the adoption fees. We also have our fosters video chat with potential adopters prior to adoption so that the adopter gets to see the animals and ensure it's a fit. We allow adoption fees to be paid via goods and services if desired to give our adopters extra security and protection.
