Toby's Story

Wanting to add a sweet new dance partner to your home? Meet the lovely Toby! 💃🐾


Toby is a sweet Border Collie cross with a heart of gold and a few extra toes that give him some extra flair on the dance floor! This gentle boy loves people and forms strong bonds with those he trusts, taking confidence from having his favourite humans by his side.


Like any performer, Toby can be a little shy before the curtain rises. New people and unfamiliar situations can make him a bit nervous at first, but with patience and encouragement, he soon finds his rhythm. He's social with both male and female dogs and would likely love a confident canine dance partner to help him navigate life's routines.


When the show is over, Toby is all about the after-party cuddles. He's a champion snuggler who would happily spend his evenings curled up on the couch with his family. He'd suit a home with older children who can give him a little space while he learns the steps of his new life, and he'd benefit from a family who is home often or willing to help him settle in at his own pace.


Toby can sometimes feel a little unsure of his surroundings, so secure 6ft fencing is recommended to keep this talented jumper safe. However, with a canine companion or a family around more often than not, he may be comfortable with 5ft fencing as well.

If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate companion with funky feet, sweet dance moves, and a personality worthy of a standing ovation, Toby could be the perfect addition to your family.

What should I feed my dog?

Your dog's diet should be based on a high-quality, balanced premium commercial dog food that is suited to their specific life stage (puppy, adolescent, adult, pregnant, senior) and health condition.

The amount of food your dog needs will depend on factors like their size, breed, age, and activity level. However, it’s important not to overfeed or underfeed. Your vet can weigh your dog, assess their body condition score, and offer feeding recommendations.

To prevent bloat, which can be life-threatening, adult dogs should be fed at least twice a day and should not engage in exercise right before or after meals. This is especially important for deep-chested breeds like Boxers and German Shepherds.

Make sure fresh drinking water is always available. Do not give your dog milk as it can lead to gastrointestinal issues.

Should I feed bones to my dog?

Bones offer dogs nutrients and mental stimulation while helping remove tartar from their teeth. However, bones can also break teeth, cause blockages, and carry harmful bacteria. Consider these factors to make an informed decision for your pet and family’s wellbeing.

Dental chews are a good alternative if you wish to provide your pet with entertainment that assists with teeth cleaning. Visit RSPCA World for Pets for a range of quality dental chews for your dog.
