Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Just wants to be loved...that's our Toby!
Toby is a 1 year old, 15lb, male, Chiweenie that is all about cuddles and love! He came to us when he was found on the streets abandoned and all alone...most likely dumped. A kind woman took him in and was able to get him scanned for a microchip (he didn't have one) and neutered. He was also treated for bite wounds on his body and foxtails embedded in his paws. Sadly, Toby had to go to a boarding facility as she couldn't keep dogs at her home. During that time she reached out to us to see if we could take him into our foundation...and we said yes! When we picked him up, we noticed something wrong with his eyes. He was squinting and looked to be in pain. We rushed him to our vet/specialist and he was indeed in so much pain that they had to sedate him just to examine. He was diagnosed with a deep ulcer in one eye and extreme dry eyes in both. He was sent to his foster with 3 medications to be given 3x a day for a month. He is now perfectly healed and doing amazingly! We are looking for a very patient, loving, and nurturing home for our sweet boy. We know from experience that he will come to you very scared and will do low growling. It took his foster mom 2 days before he felt safe with her and her family, but once he knew everything was ok....he was all about the love! Toby definitely needs another young and playful dog in the home! He is AMAZING with other dogs and seems to love them all! He is also great with older kids 13 and older. This playful pup definitely needs a safe and secure backyard to run around and play in. He gets the hang of potty training right away with outdoor access. Potential adopters must realize he is still considered young and in the puppy stage and does like to chew on things like your shoes, etc. Toby was most likely mistreated by men in his life as he is a little stand offish with them, but will open up with time. He is going to being shut down at meet/greets and will growl, but trust us when we tell you it only takes like 2 days for him to feel safe and loved, so we are looking for a home for him that will not give up quickly on him and give him that time he needs....
It will definitely be worth while!
Toby is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
We only adopt in the Greater Los Angeles Areas as an in person meet/greet, home check, and trial period are required.
