Profile

Toby is a 3 yr old neutered male PB Golden Retriever. His previous owner had to move and gave Toby to his brother.  The brother works two jobs and doesn’t have enough time for him, so he surrendered Toby to RAGOM.  The brother wants RAGOM to place Toby in a home where he can get the love and attention he deserves.  

After just a few days fostering Toby, we know that he is very affectionate, loves being petted, and is eager to please. He’s house broken and sleeps quietly on the floor along side our bed. He’s very well socialized with both people and dogs.   

He was raised with young kids and other dogs and loves everybody.  Toby walks well on a leash with a gentle leader.  He hasn’t had any real training, so he’ll counter surf and look in waste baskets for food.  We don’t leave food out unattended to tempt him, so we haven’t had a problem. 

He’s easy to train; he has learned “Sit”, “Off” and has “Come” down pretty well in just three days.  He follows me around from room to room and sticks close by even when outside in the yard.  Toby hasn’t displayed any aggression or resource guarding.  He needs an owner to go to an obedience training class with him to become completely well behaved. 

Toby is a big boy, he weighs 114 lbs and the vet thought he could lose 10 lbs to be at a good weight for his frame.  He is UTD on shots and has a clean bill of health.   He is a handsome guy, mellow, and has the easy-going Golden personality.
