My name is Toph - Kitchener!

Are you looking for a smart and energetic girl to add to your family? Well look no further as Toph is here! This sweet girl has a big brain and is looking for someone that will work with her and teach her all of her manners and maybe even more. She is still a puppy and very goofy with her behaviours just in hopes to make someone laugh and fall in love with her. She would make the perfect dog for anyone that is looking for a dog that loves to work and wants to be by there persons side all day if they could.

~ Toph is looking for an active home where she can go on lots of adventures and get all her puppy energy out
~ Toph would love to find a single person, couple or family with older children to call her own
~ While in our care we did note that Toph can be reactive to people and other dogs at time causing her to be vocal
~ She would do best in a house type home rather than an apartment due to her being vocal
