TOBY

Toby is 12 yo, in good health, chipped, flea med and vaccinations  UTD.  His owner, prior to us, died last summer.  He had been with him since he was 6 months old.  Toby came to us with a history of anxiety and separation anxiety.  We have worked with Toby and his vet over the past 10 months to help with this adjustment.  He is currently on a calm chew once a day, trazadone as needed (rarely) and Prozac 10 mg. once a day.  Along with this we have done basic training and commands using a rug for place and hand signals and words to help him with anxiety around someone coming through the door.  Aside from this, he is mellow, sleeps much of the day and is a very sweet dog.  He loves to go on a walk.  Because he has been with a single man most of his life, it would be best if he had a one person household that was home much of the time and did not have a lot of company.  He is socialized around children but too excitable, barks, wants to lick their face, follow them everywhere, etc.  He loves other small dogs and on regular basis and sees a family of 3 for play dates.  No biting at anyone except my husbands pant legs occasionally when he comes through the door or gets up from the chair.  It is because of this closeness to his feet that we need to re home.  My husband was recently put on a blood thinner and cannot risk falling.  In addition, my adult son has moved home which means there are too many people here for Toby. He likes it quiet with just one person to love.  He would love to sleep in a bed but we have trained him to sleep on a dog bed next to our bed.  He sleeps all through the night.  Is potty trained and goes to door to signal need.  Does not like the crate.  We have all supplies that he needs, as well as his medical records from the past 12 years.
