<p><span class="font-semibold" data-streamdown="strong">Meet General Tobias or Toby, Tobias, or Beanie if you're in his trusted circle.</span></p> <p>This 6monthold Pitbull Terrier mix has already overcome more than most dogs ever will. Found dumped in the snow with severe frostbite, he needed time, medical care, and patience to heal. Once he felt safe, his true personality came forward: energetic, goofy, affectionate, and endlessly determined.</p> <p>Toby is a petite 3040lbs, and he's not expected to get much bigger. What <em>is</em> big is his energy level. He is an exceptionally active, highdrive puppy with zero offswitch and a strong prey drive. He <em>thrives</em> on structure, consistency, and plenty of physical and mental work. He recently completed a monthlong boardandtrain program, where he made strong progressbut he will absolutely need a family committed to continuing that training every single day.</p> <p>Toby adores other dogs and plays rough, fast, and with enthusiasm. He'll do best in a home with other confident, playful dogs who can match his style. While he lives peacefully with cats, his intense, mouthy play style means he'd be happiest in a catfree home or with extremely dogsavvy cats. He has not, yet, been tested with children, but it is suspected he would either do well in a home with either older children or a home where interactions with small children would be closely moderated.</p> <p>He is <span class="font-semibold" data-streamdown="strong">crate trained, mostly potty trained</span>, fully vetted for his age, and eager to learn. During training, we also discovered that he's a <span class="font-semibold" data-streamdown="strong">natural at barn hunt</span>, and he would shine in an active home interested in dog sports or structured outlets for his drive. Puzzle toys, scent work, long hikes, and regular training sessions will help him settle and succeed.</p> <p>Toby is a wonderful, resilient dog who bonds deeply once he trusts you. His best match is a patient, dedicated family who understands highdrive breeds and is ready to invest time, training, boundaries, and a lot of exercise. Given the right guidance, he will be an endlessly fun, loyal adventure companion.</p> <p>If his current foster parents didn't already have a zoo of their own, he would already be a part of the pack, permanently. Whether he is bouncing around the house like a bunny with a stuffy toy in his mouth, playing with his foster siblings in the water spewing from the backyard hose spicket, or sitting patiently with his head cocked to the side for a treat; this little guy is always putting a smile on his foster parents' faces. What's stopping you from letting him bring this joy to you and your family?</p> If you are interested in adopting an ARPO pet, please visit our website at arporescue.org to learn more about our adoption process and complete our adoption application.
