This handsome 1½ year-old Sheepadoodle, Toby, was welcomed to his forever home on July 16th, 2022. This cutie was accidentally picked up by the RROESR because they thought he was a full sheepdog since his hair was so long! His previous owners neglected his grooming and his hair was extremely matted, so they had to shave him completely. To his (now) family’s surprise, not many people were interested in adopting Toby because he had such short hair. (And they thought it was so silly because he was still such a beautiful dog!) After learning all about him, they decided he was the best fit for their family so they, along with their current fur child (an Australian Shepherd), drove all the way down to Houston from Colorado. That 16-hour drive was WELL worth it because they immediately fell in love with Toby. (And now they can’t imagine their lives without him!) He and his fur sister are best friends and cannot stop playing all day long. They truly could not have asked for a better match. Now Toby gets to hike up mountains, swim in lakes, and play with neighborhood dogs at the park!! (Clearly Toby hit the jackpot!)

Toby is a goofy, sweet, and bouncy young man who loves tennis balls, dancing, running, and his Australian Shepherd sister! Oh, and we can’t forget his favorite foods: he could eat rice and chicken all day long and eagerly awaits his Barkbox! In fact, this sweetheart is so easy to please that the only thing he doesn’t like is when people don’t say hi to him! (Who could ever walk by him without saying hello?!)

Toby’s family shared that he loves to sit on the patio and people watch, sleep under his Momma’s desk while she works, play with his fur sister all day (and he even shares toys with her!) After work, they go to the mini dog park where he gets to chase tennis balls. He loves to wind down at night cuddling with his family and even enjoys getting his hair brushed! (Good thing because that needs done daily from all the playing!)

Toby’s family shared that since he’s joined their family he’s learned so much. He has been doing much better on the leash and even though he still has his moments, he’s learning to slow down more often and is very good at sitting and stopping when he’s asked to. He is also working on not jumping on people to greet them. He still can’t help but do it but with the help of some friends he has made improvements! His hair is also looking healthier and growing out the way it should! Finally, he has also helped his fur sister feel more confident playing with bigger dogs and has made her so happy. (They have even picked up on each other's mannerisms!)

Toby really is such a light in his family’s life and brings so much laughter to them every day! He makes the funniest noises when he plays with other dogs and has learned to paw at them for attention from their other dog (and they think it’s adorable how they work as a team!) Toby and his fur sibling are so close that they have a mini reunion after Toby gets his daily walk!! Seeing Toby run is also so funny - he’s such a bouncy boy and loves to twist and hop around when he’s excited! Their family is finally full and they are so excited to go on many more adventures together! (If you ask us, Toby sure is living the good life!!)
