Toffee

My story

Toffee: •Shar Pei/Labrador Retriever mix •6 months old •35lbs •Spayed female •Dog friendly •Working on potty and crate training •So wrinkly and cute! Toffee is a chill, cuddly, affectionate 6 month old Shar Pei/Labrador Retriever mix who loves being pet, playing, and chilling around the house with you! Her default position is sitting next to you waiting for pets, no matter where you are. Toffee is a petite girl at only 35lbs and she's not expected to get much bigger (50lbs max)! Toffee was found as a stray and taken to our local high kill shelter where she (somehow) landed on the euthanasia list for space and lack of adoption interest. We're not sure why no one paid her any attention, as she's obviously got the cutest wrinkles and sweet face! With the shelter being so overcrowded, dogs usually don't get very long to find placement and Toffee was put on the euthanasia list not long after arriving at the shelter. Luckily, we were able to save her and she's been the best little rescue guest ever! Toffee is more of the shy side when she first meets new people, but she seems to warm up pretty quickly. She likely didn't have a great life before coming to us (as is the case with most of our pups), and she is pretty timid and shrinks back at sudden movements due to this. She is gaining more confidence each day and is steadily coming out of her shell, but she will need a patient adopter who is understanding of her shy nature and is willing to work with her to build up her confidence. Once she gets used to you and her surroundings, Toffee is a rather calm girl who would rather nap at your feet than partake in the usual puppy shenanigans that come with her age. She enjoys playing with other dogs but is more people and affection oriented than anything. She tends to be more on the dominant side with other dogs but gives and takes corrections well. She's a pretty easy girl to get along with! Toffee is working on her crate and potty training and is doing well in her progress with each. She's a smart little cookie who can learn a lot with the right training! Toffee is located in Houston TX but can be transported to most US states for adoption.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Toffee, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
