Here's what the humans have to say about me:
ABOUT TOBEY
Sweet Tobey is looking for a stress-free, relaxing home! Tobey is an 8-year-old chihuahua mix who would make the perfect lap dog. Tobey came to HAP from a high-intake shelter in Maryland, where he was at risk for euthanasia due to lack of space for him. When he arrived at HAP, Tobey was diagnosed with severe pneumonia, that unfortunately was resistant to multiple antibiotics. We ran several tests to determine the best course of treatment for this little guy. He was treated with an effective injectable antibiotic for about a month before he recovered. We sent Tobey for follow-up x-rays, as he had a lingering cough, which we suspected to be a collapsing trachea. His scans confirmed that Tobey had a collapsing trachea and chronic bronchitis. Thankfully, both of these conditions can be managed, providing Tobey with a pain-free life! He takes oral medications daily, which he has no problem eating with some wet food or peanut butter!
Now that Tobey is pain-free, he has really blossomed with our staff and his true personality shines through. Tobey is very affectionate with people and gentle with respectful children. He LOVES playing with stuffed toys and will even toss them around for himself. Tobey spent a few weeks of his treatment in his own personal suite, in one of our meet-and-greet rooms. During this time, he loved having a crate and proved to be crate-trained overnight!
**Due to Tobey's diagnosis, he should have limited exercise and only walk with a harness to alleviate pressure on his trachea, which is fairly easy to maintain as he is a laid-back guy. Despite shorter walks outside, Tobey is house-trained and will go potty on walks! Tobey would also due best in a home as the only dog so he can soak up all the love and attention!
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
