About Toby

Meet Toby! Toby is the sort of dog everyone notices. He had his eye removed because of Valley Fever, but it hasn’t slowed him down at all. He’s a real character—if you’ve ever heard a dog who actually 'talks,' he fits the type. People compare his vocals to Scooby Doo for a reason. He’s goofy, upbeat, and absolutely loves being around people, showing a lot of affection right away. Toby is also a fan of hiking and walks, up for just about any adventure. He listens well, takes correction, and wants to learn new things. Toby’s Valley Fever is being managed with medication, and his titers are very low, so the hope is he’ll only need it a short while. He’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and has a clean tick/heartworm screen. At about 1.5 years old, he’s got the energy and personality to fit into a variety of homes. Toby gets along with other dogs and kids, making him a versatile addition to almost any household. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
