About Toby

Toby grew up at the rescue after her beagle mix mom arrived pregnant during the pandemic. She’s been a standout—affectionate and playful with people she trusts, but she’s also picky about her close circle and isn’t a fan of everyone who walks through the door. Over time, Toby made it clear she prefers to stick with her preferred people. For that reason, a quieter home without lots of visitors is ideal, especially one without younger kids. A fenced yard is important for her to play and feel safe. Toby is spayed, vaccinated, house trained, and crate trained—she settles into her crate at night without fuss. If you’re looking for an active, loyal companion and your family is up for her quirks, Toby could fit in perfectly. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
