About Toby

Meet Toby, a charming and devoted three-year-old Boston Terrier who's the perfect mix of snuggler, comedian, and loyal companion. Weighing in at around 16 pounds, Toby believes in making every moment count and thrives on being by your side, whether you're cooking, working from home, or just enjoying some downtime. Toby also loves his outdoor adventures. He's happiest when basking in the sun or exploring the yard, but his outings should be supervised to ensure his comfort in varying temperatures. Although he's currently surrounded by a family with teenagers, Toby can feel uneasy around new visitors and noisy environments, so he needs a home where he can feel secure. He does best with older children or calm adults who understand his boundaries and help him build confidence. When it comes to other dogs, Toby is selective but generally gets along well with smaller breeds; larger dogs can be hit-or-miss for him. He’s affectionate and has a goofy side that’s sure to keep you smiling every day. If you're ready for a loving companion who takes his snuggling duties very seriously, Toby might be just the right match for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
