About Toby
Meet Toby, a lively small Terrier mix about three years old, located in Lacona, NY. Tobyās start in life was roughāhe was left in an apartment for months after his owner moved, relying on the kindness of neighbors before he managed to escape and ended up on the streets in the middle of winter. When he first arrived, Toby was scared and wary, but heās learned that people can be trusted with a little time and patience. Once youāve earned his trust, heāll quickly nudge you for belly rubs. Toby thrives on attention and is happiest when heās the center of activity. Heās always up for a good run or a round of playing with toys. Training is still a work in progressāhe jumps on people and pulls on the leash, and his housebreaking skills need fine-tuning, likely due to a lack of guidance in his previous situation. He has had some positive experiences meeting other dogs but can be particular about his canine companions, so any potential housemates should meet him first. A high-energy environment and an active routine suit him best; sedentary homes wonāt match. Due to his past escapades, a securely fenced yard is highly recommended. He is neutered, vaccinated, and parasite-free. Homes with children over 12 are preferred, and while Toby hasnāt lived with cats, he isnāt recommended for cat households. Anyone interested should be ready to offer patience, structure, and the time needed for training and socialization. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
