My name is Toby!

Toby is a 10-month-old mixed breed pup with a heartwarming story of resilience. Found running scared with his littermate last spring, Toby’s journey to safety has been a long and challenging one. While his littermate was quickly adopted by a loving family, Toby spent a few more weeks on his own before he was successfully trapped and brought to safety. Toby does need another dog in the home.

Initially shut down in the county shelter, Toby was connected with a foster home to help him begin feeling safe and loved. Although the journey to confidence is ongoing, Toby has shown remarkable progress. He is much braver now and is steadily gaining confidence in living with humans.

When Toby feels safe, his true personality shines through. He is happy, bouncy, and playful with a moderate energy level. Toby loves the company of other playful dogs of similar size and has a special fondness for golden retrievers—unsurprisingly, as his Embark DNA test revealed he is almost 30% golden retriever himself!

Toby is looking for a patient and understanding forever home that will continue to help him build his confidence and feel secure. If you’re ready to provide a loving environment and enjoy the companionship of a playful, gentle pup, Toby might be the perfect addition to your family. 

Come meet Toby and let him show you just how special he is!  We do want another dog in the home for him to play with. He is most comfortable around other dogs who can show him the way.
