Tobin - In Memory


Name:  Tobin 
Age: 5 1/2 years
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Pointer/Hound Mix
Location: Near Ft. Worth, TX

Vet Info: Tobin is neutered and heartworm negative per his owner, but this has not yet been confirmed.  He is not up to date on vaccines. Tobin weighs 147 pounds.

Owner Info: Tobin is a loving, sweet boy who was adopted by his current owners from a shelter 5 1/2 years ago.  About a year ago, Tobin lost his sight. He is also on medication for Hypothyroidism. Tobin is having some trouble adapting to his condition and his owners feel that he would do better with someone who has the time and ability to work him so he can become more comfortable in getting around. His owners say "Tobin is sweet and handsome.dog..he is big but doesn't have a mean bone in body..we love him and are hopeful to find him a safe Haven with folks who can provide love and care..I am fearful he will injure himself at our home when we are gone." Tobin is good with children, cats and dogs. He isn't possessive over food or toys. He is a bit anxious but due to not really understanding what has happened to him. He is housebroken and leash trained and knows some commands like "sit." He just needs someone that can take the time to help him adapt to his new life. His owners also said, "He used to chase squirrels and I used to complain about how hard it was to walk him because of squirrels.  Oh how I wish he could be that dog again.  I know he does too…. Tobin is a beautiful dog. He was crazy fun and hyper before losing his vision and now just walks around in a daze and sleeps mostly.  He seems terribly depressed and it’s tearing us up."
