Hi there! My name is Toffee, and Im a 3-year-year-old, 52-lb female Australian Cattle Dog mix with a calm and easygoing personality. While my breed mix might suggest high energy, Im 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 Im 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. Im not especially playful, but Im 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. Ive 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, and I'm continuing to work on gaining confidence with leash walking and the outdoors. With patience, reassurance, and consistency, I continue to make progress every day. 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.
