Toy - 1 and a half Year Old Boxer x Labrador Boy - ADOPTED!!

[Phoenix PR]

TOY – 1 and a half Year Old Boxer x Labrador Boy - Phoenix Association.

 

Toy has been with Phoenix for a while now and is being over-looked. We're pretty sure people wouldn't be put off by his facial "feature" (read more below) as in our opinion, this makes him even more endearing!

 

We think it may be that people assume he's rough, just based on his appearance, but if you knew Toy, you'd know he is anything but. 

 

Toy is ALWAYS happy - he gets on really well with other dogs, and is living with a ever-changing pack of animals, some of whom have issues - he didn’t even growl or retaliate at poor old blind Polo who snapped at him and bit his face after bumping into him, or when Shadow (who gets stressed) bit his waggy tail!

 

So, about his facial "feature" - sometime in his past he must have had a swipe to the head which has left him blind in one eye and deaf on that side. It has not affected his behaviour at all and he requires no treatment, except for eye drops and eye cleaning.

 

Toy would absolutely adore another lively dog to play with - all he wants to do is have fun, fun fun! Toy is very friendly with cats too. 

 

Since being at Phoenix, he's been responding quickly to training. He's housetrained and he comes when called with a clap (provided he can see you or knows where you might be as he is unable to tell the direction of sound). He is not inclined to run-off but does like to explore, & does get distracted easily, so would need to go to somebody with an enclosed garden. He walks nicely on a lead but has also learnt to walk off lead. 

 

He travels very well & loves going out in the car. Because he's such a fun-loving, lively and healthy chap, as soon as his head hits his pillow, he's off into the land of nod, no doubt having happy dreams!

 

There are plenty more photos of Toy, as well as some fun videos of him, on our website, www.phoenixasso.com - he is in Thiviers, Dordogne.

 

Toy is castrated, chipped, vaccinated, wormed & de-flead.
