About Toby

Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started. Meet Toby, an irresistibly sweet and timid Jack Russell/Corgi mix searching for a tender-hearted home. Weighing in at 20 pounds, Toby possesses the adventurous spirit and intelligence of both his breeds, though he is quite shy—especially around men. With gentle patience, especially from a compassionate woman, Toby quickly blossoms and will repay you with unwavering loyalty and affection. He flourishes in the company of other dogs, finding comfort and fun in their presence. Toby's best match would be someone with an active lifestyle who enjoys daily walks, ideally an adult female adopter who understands the needs of a shy or fearful dog. An escape-proof environment is important, as he can startle easily and is considered a flight risk. For his comfort and safety, a calm, lower-traffic home without children is preferred. He is already crate-trained, housetrained, and does very well on leash walks. Toby has been fully vetted, is neutered, heartworm negative, and up to date on all vaccinations. At Doggie Harmony, every step is taken to ensure both the pet and adopter find the perfect match—if you're ready to open your heart, Toby could be the gentle companion you've been waiting for. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
