About Toby

Meet Toby! Toby is a charming 9-year-old Dachshund mix who weighs around 19 pounds. He came into rescue after his beloved owner entered hospice care, and this sudden change has understandably left him a bit hesitant. Toby isn’t the type to rush into someone’s arms right away, but give him a moment, and you'll discover just how special he is. Toby thrives on a gentle approach when meeting new people. He prefers to observe, settle in, and determine if you’re someone he can trust before diving into affection. Once he bonds, though, he becomes fiercely loyal and loving, forming an incredibly devoted relationship with his person. It’s essential for Toby to be the only dog in his future home, as he can be defensive around other dogs. On the bright side, he gets along great with cats, having lived with them without issue. Toby is fully house trained, crate trained, and walks nicely on a leash—he’s a good boy with a heart of gold, ready to find a quieter home where he can take his time to trust. Toby is fully vetted, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. He has a health certificate that will be provided before adoption. If you’re searching for a gentle companion who needs a little patience to warm up, Toby could be the loyal sidekick you’ve been waiting for. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
