About Toby

Toby is an older lab mix with a striking silver face, showing off every year of wisdom and warmth he has to offer. He landed in rescue after years of neglect, but he's let none of that weigh him down—his temperament remains sweet, gentle, and quietly affectionate. Toby moves through life at a slower pace, and you'll usually find him basking in the sun or stretched out in a soft, cozy bed. He loves a good nap and finds peace in gentle strolls rather than big adventures. Though just 44 pounds, he’s on the lean side and could use a family with the patience to help him fill out comfortably. Toby gets along well with other dogs and people, and he’s never shown aggression. His easygoing nature is ideal for a calm, quiet home—ideally with someone who values the simple joys found in senior dogs. He would do best in a household that can offer a slow, steady routine and appreciates his gentle soul. Toby arrived at Imagine Furever Ranch with his buddy Tommy, and while they’d love to be adopted together, they can also go separately if needed. Either way, Toby is ready to settle in and find peace in his golden years. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
