Adoptable Pet of the Day: Toby

May 6, 2009

This very smart 2-year-old Cocker is a classic example of what happens when a dog is left alone in one room for much of the time and is not a real part of family life. When Toby came to Cocker Rescue he was afraid of new people and situations but he's made good progress in the last two months.

Now Toby occasionally barks at strangers, but then goes about his business. Toby has been socialized at obedience classes, in his foster-mom's kennel, and in the house. He's a true "velcro" cocker and follows his foster-mom everywhere. He loves his toys but he will "kill" his stuffed toy in a second. He likes to hang out and watch TV and is totally housebroken. Toby has mild allergies but he responded well to antibiotics and antihistamines and only needs a medicated bath once every two weeks.

Toby would do best in a structured adult-only home.
