About Toby

Toby is a 9-year-old Chihuahua mix rescued from a hoarding situation involving over 80 dogs. This sweet boy has had a rough past, resulting in some missing fur around his eyes due to ammonia exposure. Though shy when he first arrived in Wisconsin, he has grown more confident. Now, he greets his foster mom with playful bows and enjoys snuggling up close. He's still a bit cautious around men and small children but can’t resist a tasty cheese treat from anyone. Toby gets along well with other dogs, though he prefers to eat alone, and he does well with cats. While not yet potty trained, he’s easing into house routine with a belly band. His foster family is helping him adapt to leash walking—he's successfully walked twice but can get panicky with loud noises or pressure on the leash. Toby needs a kind and patient adopter who can help him continue to build confidence.
