About Tobi - COURTESY LISTING

Tobi, also known as Bean, is an 18-month old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix weighing about 55 pounds. Tobi is a sensitive, affectionate boy who can be shy when meeting new people and dogs. Once he feels safe, he bonds deeply and enjoys companionship, affection, and play. Like most herding breed dogs, Tobi is initially cautious and careful, but he warms up and enjoys playing once he's comfortable. Tobi is very intelligent and eager to learn, knowing several tricks and enjoying training sessions. He also loves to cuddle and has a playful, goofy, and delightfully clumsy personality. Tobi really likes interactive play games such as tug-of-war, fetch, and keep away. When he gets overstimulated, he self-soothes in his crate where he can feel safe and secure.

Ideal Home

Tobi would thrive in a calm home in a quiet neighborhood, as he can get overwhelmed by loud or busy environments, especially traffic, busy roads, motorcycles, and fireworks. He would love having a home with a fenced yard to run and play. We are looking for a patient home that understands the needs of a sensitive, working-breed dog and can help Tobi continue to build confidence. Tobi would do best in a home with older children (12+) who can respect a sensitive dog's space.

Ongoing Health

Tobi has some food sensitivities to chicken and beef but does well on a salmon-based diet. He is house trained, crate trained, neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations.

Training & Support

Tobi is intelligent and eager to learn, knowing several tricks and the cue "place" for his crate. He enjoys training and would love a home that will continue helping him learn new things. He self-soothes in his crate when overstimulated.
