Three-year-old Torchy has touched his fosters hearts with his sweet and silly ways. Once the 45-pound white beauty felt comfortable in their company, he opened his own heart, and now he LOVES licking them, cuddling and snuggling, and playing with them. He also loves engaging, often too exuberantly, with other dogs - he does best with a dog who isnt too submissive. Torchy enjoys going for walks, chewing on Nylabones and playing with soft, plushy toys, but what he loves most is his wobble Kong, giddily getting into boxing matches with it! Known to prance around the house and strut when he walks, hes equally famous for lying on his back with his legs in the air, as an open invitation for belly rubs, paw-lease. Motivated by love, toys and food (hes passionate about people food), highly intelligent and easy to teach, he knows "come", "sit", "down", "stay", "off", "no", "touch" and "leave it", accepts his favorite Charlie Bear biscuit treats gently, and loves relaxing inside his crate with the door open. Leash trained and almost fully housetrained, he currently rides poorly in cars (he gets carsick), and is working both on his manners and boundaries and on overcoming his initial fear of strangers. And so, for Torchy to thrive, he requires a strong but loving "pack leader" to perfect his manners, continue his socialization with other dogs and people, and keep him mentally and physically satisfied fur-ever.

Torchy is a courtesy posting and not an Animal Rescue of the Rockies dog. But his foster asks that all interested individuals fill out our adoption application.
