Please help Toby find a forever home for Christmas

Toby
Age:  approximately 5 years old

Weight: about 35 pounds
Neutered:  yes
Housetrained: yes
Gets along with other dogs: yes, all six of them

Toby showed up under our haul-trailer out back.  He was terrified and would not let me get near him.  I finally gave up and left him with bowls of food and water.  When I got home from work, some 10 hours later, he was in the exact same position under the trailer. The water and food levels were the same – he hadn't touched either one.

He was so traumatized that I thought he'd been hit by a car.  Finally with a lot of time, coaxing and some help from my Aussie, he finally came out from under the trailer.  He had a collar, but no tags.  I put signs up everywhere, took him to get scanned (no chip) and tried to find his owners.  But no dice.  Meanwhile I noticed that Toby sat by the front window almost continually and watched each car that went by. He kept waiting and waiting by that window. He gave every sign of having been dumped. 

Toby has been sharing space with our six other dogs and two kids and I can definitely vouch for him. He is one nice dog. True to his breed, he's a smart dog and he caught on to your family routine and obeys commands we gave him (sit, stay, come).  He's not a barker or a digger. He's housetrained. He's an exceptionally quiet dog, but he's always around.  He likes to be near you, but he's not pushy about it.

Quite by accident, when someone dropped a piece of ice, we found out that Toby loves ice.  When someone is getting ice from the icemaker, he'll hear it dropping and come over and wait patiently to be given a cube.  He is affectionate and will roll over on his back for a belly-rub and he loves to give people his paw.  Toby can be protective (my husband was wrestling around with my son and Toby suddenly and quietly showed up took a protective stance with my son – no teeth, no growls – just quietly standing between my husband and son).

He gets along well with the other dogs.  And if we didn't already six dogs -- including two rescue dogs and a recently adopted dog – we would keep him. As it is, we are hoping to find this dear boy a home.  If you'd like to meet him, let me know.
