About Toby

Meet Toby! Toby has spent five years being bounced around more than any dog should. Now, he’s ready for a forever home where stability reigns. This handsome mixed breed is looking for someone to provide the love and care he deserves. If it rolls, bounces, or can be chased, Toby is probably obsessed with it. Balls are his absolute favorite thing in the world, and you’ll often see him carrying one like a prized possession. In fact, he loves his toys so much that he’d prefer a home without children, since sharing isn’t exactly his strong suit. Though he isn't the type to constantly ask for attention, Toby enjoys being near his people, especially when outdoors on a beautiful day, ball in tow. He’s quite food motivated and already knows "sit" and "shake," so with some tasty treats, Toby is eager to learn and bond with his new family. Toby is done with being passed around and is ready to find the loving home he craves. Could that be you?
