TOBEY MAGUIRE - SHIH TZU / POODLE (MINIATURE) / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shih Tzu / Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed. Tobey has now been living with his foster family for over three months. Although he had a rough beginning, he has now settled in and has become the most loving member of the family. When he arrived, he was nervous around his foster dad. Over time, his foster dad worked to earn Tobey's trust and it paid off! Strict boundaries were set, and Tobey's foster dad took over feedings and spent more time with him. This allowed him to establish himself as the pack leader and for Tobey to learn his role within the family unit. Tobey understands the house rules and knows where he stands in the pack, and these clear boundaries helped his confidence so much within the house. Now he is all cuddles and kisses, and he is the first one to greet his foster family when they arrive. He is always on the lookout for a lap to lay on and gives the best hugs! He plays well with toys and the other dogs in the house. Tobey can be a little protective when new people come to the house, and his foster mom uses training tools to ensure that the guests feel welcome and to ensure that Tobey doesn't feel like he needs to protect them. Tobey is a GREAT dog - so cuddly and sweet... and he also needs an experienced owner who will continue the training established and keep boundaries in place for Tobey to be the goodest boy that he is in his foster home. He would do best in a quiet home without young children. If you're looking for a sweet, cuddly dog who will blossom in a structured environment, Tobey Maguire could be the perfect fit for you!
