Indiana-PAW Pet Of The Week Sponsored By
Toby
Background: Why isn't anybody interested in this boy?!?! Toby (aka Tobias) is an ADORABLE, sweet, loving and 90 lbs. lab. Toby's foster mom said she'd keep Toby if she didn't already have a full-house already. He's playful, loves kids, does well with other dogs -- what's not to love? Contact Love of Labs TODAY to start the adoption on this gorgeous, loving lab boy!Gender: Male
Breed: Lab (big boy - about 90 lbs.!)
Approximate Age: 18 months old
Spay/Neuter Status: Yes, Toby is neutered.
Vaccinations: Yes, Toby is up-to-date on all his vaccinations, as well as heartworm negative and on preventatives.
Housetrained: Yes, Toby is both crate-trained and housetrained! Toby LOVES his crate and goes in very easily with a treat.
Compatibility With Children: Toby adores kids! However, Toby probably should NOT go to a home with small children since he is so big and playful, he may accidentally knock them over while playing. :-)
Compatibility With Other Pets: Toby does well with other dogs (although he hasn't been exposed to cats). BUT, Toby's foster parents KNOW he is the most loving and fun dog they've seen in a *long* time.
Personality: Toby is very loyal and fun! He wants to be wherever you are. Toby is a love bug, just a sweet, funny boy that is eager to please. He is a gorgeous, shiny coated boy that people always comment on. OH, did we mention that Toby was FUN? ;-) Toby holds perfectly still while you pet him, as if he moves, you might stop petting him. And, he loves to play ball.
Ideal Home: Toby needs a best friend. Toby is a very secure dog that can be outside by himself and jumping up and kicking his heels up just like a spirited horse or colt, it's too funny. A nice fenced yard where he can kick up his heels would be great.
To Adopt: If interested in adopting Toby, please contact Linda with Love Of Labs, Indiana (based in Noblesville) at 317-727-7392 or at lolin@insightbb.com. You can also visit the Love Of Labs, Indiana website at www.lolin.org, and click on "How to Adopt" to learn how this works and bring Toby home.
Kenya - ADOPTED!
Background: Looking for a great dog? Come & Meet Kenya! Kenya was found living under someone's van for 3 days. She was pretty banged up with scars on her head, neck and legs and was limping very badly. Happily enough, all the hair on her head has grown in, her limp is gone but the thin scar on her neck is there for good. She has the sweetest temperament. Why don't you bring Kenya home and start the New Year right?Gender: Female

She loves going for rides in the car and is very well behaved while in the car. She gets very excited when it's breakfast or dinner time and sometimes will woowoo or do a little backwards dance. Kenya's foster mom is also a dog trainer, and has been living with her for several months. She has been very lucky to be able to live with someone who has been able to guide her and teach her what she needs to know to live in a family setting.
