Toby Mr. Cutie is a 7-month-old, 27-pound chiweenie-German pinscher mix with charming, expressive ears. His journey began in heartbreak when he was abandoned at a high-kill shelter at just four months old, left behind while his mother found a new home. Fortunately, a loving foster family stepped in, giving him a second chance. When Toby first arrived in his foster home, the outside world was overwhelming for him. Everyday noises frightened him. However, with the help of his foster sisters, Toby slowly learned to embrace the world outside. Now, he eagerly goes on leashed walks, plays joyously with his furry friends, and adores lounging in the sunny spots for blissful naps. Toby is initially shy with new people and takes some time to feel secure in unfamiliar settings. Once comfortable, he transforms into a loyal companion who quietly follows you around. He's calm, gentle, and never confrontational. His exceptional manners mingle seamlessly with his friendly nature, as he currently resides with six dogs and a cat, getting along beautifully with all. Given his background, Toby requires a stable environment, ideally with a confident dog that can support him in building his confidence. While he's okay around children, a quieter home without young kids would suit him best. His journey has shown him how wonderful companionship can be, and for adopters willing to provide patience and understanding, Toby offers unmatched loyalty and affection. Toby is fully vaccinated, neutered, and heartworm negative, and he’s ready to find a permanent home. Adequate fencing in the yard is necessary for his adoption, as he will thrive best where he feels safe and secure.
