Meet Toby dog, formally known as Toby-Wan Kenobi! 🐶 This gentle soul is between 8 and 10 years old and a beautiful terrier mix whose past is not so pretty. Sadly, Toby was rescued from a hoarding situation where he spent much of his early life confined to a crate—just imagine the heartbreak! 💔 But on August 1, 2020, he finally got his freedom ride, and boy, did that change his life forever! Once free, Toby experienced the magic of a groomer's touch. ✂️ After shedding his matted fur that was more like a bad 'do than a doggy coat, he transformed into a dapper gentleman! Now, he's regularly pampered, and looking good is part of his charm. However, Toby is on a journey that requires extra love and patience. He has some special needs—medically and behaviorally. Toby struggles with human interaction. He feels safest in his own bubble, preferring to be a quiet observer rather than the center of attention. When it comes to touch, he's a bit of an introvert; you won’t find him eagerly begging for pets. Instead, he keeps to himself, and any attempt to reach out may send him hopping away. So, forget the leash—Toby needs the safety of a physically fenced yard where he can explore at his own pace. 🌳 Toby also takes three medications to help him navigate his introverted world and has a new regimen for diabetes—he’s a trooper when it comes to taking his meds, though. 💊 With time, he’s learned to coexist peacefully with other dogs in his foster home; while he prefers to keep his distance, a chilled bone or tasty treat will always catch his interest! 🦴 Food is the path to this lovable guy’s heart! If you’re thinking about making Toby part of your home, please be prepared for a thoughtful and gradual introduction to one another. Love them step-by-step, and it will be a rewarding journey, trust me! 💖 His foster family promises that he will never face neglect again, and they can't wait to find him a forever home that truly understands his needs. Due to Toby's unique approach to life, he won’t be at any adoption events, but a special meeting can be arranged once an application is approved. Now here's the scoop! Toby is house-trained, crate-trained, neutered, vaccinated, and he’s also micro-chipped. But remember, Toby requires a physically fenced yard—no apartments or condos for this sweet boy! For an adoption fee of $200, adopting Toby could be the heartwarming adventure you've been looking for! If you're at least 25 years old and ready for a unique companionship, apply to adopt through the Buddy App today! 💫 You don’t want to miss the chance to add this gentle soul to your home!
