Blanche and her brother Toby are very special pups.. they are quickly learning housebreaking and crate training.. they adore other dogs and are crazy about each other.. while we would love to see them stay together.. we understand not everyone is ready for 2 puppies, even ones as wonderful as this couple. Please don't let them stay in rescue.. they need homes to grow and learn and be loved. They are more than special!!!!
Toby is a sweet golden retriever mix who was found abandoned and wandering. Nobody ever came for him. Then he ran out of time at the shelter...yet he wanted to live so very much! We pulled him into safety, because we know he will make a wonderful family dog. Toby is golden perfection in waiting. Still really a puppy, he has lots to learn and he would like to learn it from you. With his golden retriever heritage, he will be a loving dog and very intelligent. Already friendly, you will enjoy teaching him to be your truly best friend. He is eager to be wanted and loved and will give back much more than you could even imagine. Both of you will enjoy long walks, romping in the yard, snuggling on cool nights. He would love the outdoors and would be a wonderful biking, camping, hiking companion. He would also be just as happy going with you to the kids' Little League games and to summer picnics. Think about stroking his soft, soft coat. He is now bursting with life and ready to give his heart away to someone who will never abandon him again.
