Toby is a 10-month-old Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix who, like many of our Golden/Border Collie mixes, is a shiny black. He has all the Golden Retriever fur in all the right Golden Retriever places; it’s just not the normal gold color. We say these dogs are Goldens in the witness protection program. Toby moved to the Valley from Sierra Vista, and he had a rather convoluted route to make it up here. One person drove him 130 miles from Sierra Vista to Marana where she met two AGR transporters. Toby hopped into the car with the transporters, who then drove him 95 miles to meet his adopter. Toby said a brief good-bye to the transporters, then settled down in the passenger seat of his adopter's car before driving off into the sunset to meet new mom. Fortunately, Toby didn’t have to do any of the driving, so he was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for his meeting with his new mom and human siblings. He was all ready for some play time in the back yard before play time in the house before a quick snack and then more play time. Joy says that he’s fitting in very well with her and the children and they are very pleased to have Toby in their lives.
