✨Meet the remarkable Toby, a true testament to resilience and hope! This regal gentleman, at 7 years young, found himself in a precarious situation, abandoned by those who should have cared for him. Can you imagine? An overcapacity animal control facility where the dark shadow of euthanasia loomed over him was where he was left. Thankfully, the wonderful folks at the Animal Saints Rescue Society stepped in and saved him just in the nick of time! 💕 With his striking Shih Tzu blend features and a heart as large as his fluffy frame, Toby is ready to embark on a new chapter filled with love and companionship. Weighing in at approximately 16 pounds, Toby is a soft, fluffy bundle of joy 🐾. His extensive veterinary care includes vaccinations, neutering, and much more, ensuring he’s healthy and vibrant—though he does have a wee heart murmur you’d hardly notice unless you listen carefully. And guess what? He just needs a little love and proper nutrition to keep him going strong! He also has dry eye, but he's a trooper when it comes to his meds, wagging his tail like crazy when he sees the eye drop bottle come out—how cute is that? 😍 As for his looks, Toby’s hair is special! Unlike regular fur, it requires some grooming every 4-6 weeks. So, for those ready to commit to this delightful maintenance, you’ll surely be rewarded with Toby’s affectionate ways! He is recovering from a skin condition, but with regular medicated baths (which he adores!), he’s on his path to a healthy coat and happy life! Toby is such a gentle soul. He’s not demanding; he’s just eager to be part of someone’s life—a true companion. This darling will follow you around, ready to be by your side, whether it’s lounging on the couch or going for those lovely short walks in nature! His personality shines even brighter when he’s with his humans and he can’t wait to shower his future family with love! 💖 He’s perfectly potty-trained on pads, and with a little patience, he’ll adapt to your routine in no time! Plus, Toby enjoys meeting other dogs and making new friends! Is there anything this pup can’t do? Ideal for an adult-centered home with older, respectful children, Toby thrives on companionship—he simply doesn’t want to be left alone for too long. So, if you have a cozy couch, your heart open wide, and preferably a fenced-in backyard for him to explore, you might just be the perfect match! Remember, adopting is a commitment for life, and Toby is eager to become part of a family that treats him as a loving partner, not just a pet. 💞 So, are you ready to meet Toby and make some magic happen?
