🌟 Meet Toby, a delightful 1.5-year-old low rider with a heart as big as Texas! 🐾 This charming fellow spent nearly 18 months in a rural pound, missing out on all the love and cuddles he so deserves. 😢 Just imagine being found as a stray at six months old! But Toby’s story took a wonderful turn when his amazing foster mom spotted his unique sparkle and decided to give him a chance at a wonderful life. ✨ Now, Toby is on the hunt for his forever family! 💖 He’s not just adorable; he's also housebroken and crate trained. After a health scare with heartworm, he's all clear and ready to embrace a bright future. This boy has been working hard on his leash skills, teaming up with his foster mom’s energetic grand pup for some serious training! 🐶. When you first meet him, Toby might be a bit shy - but don’t let that fool you! 🐢 With a gentle introduction, he transforms into a huggable love bug who adores snuggling up to his humans. 🤗 While he does well with other dogs, his feelings about cats remain a mystery. 🐱 He thrives around considerate kids who know how to treat a dog with respect. Toby is a quiet, sweet boy who just wants to be by your side, soaking up all the love he can get. 🚙 He’s a treat-motivated learner eager to add more skills to his repertoire, and he absolutely loves car rides! Can you be the family that helps him build his social skills and showers him with the affection he craves? 🥰 Now about Toby's adoption fee – it’s $400. This includes age-appropriate vaccines, a microchip, and all the vetting necessary to ensure he’s a healthy and happy boy! 🎉 Are you ready to be the family that transforms his dreams into reality? If so, be sure to apply through the Buddy App! Remember, adopters must meet and adopt Toby in person, and we adopt within a 150-mile radius of Elgin, IL.
