About Toby

Toby, affectionately known as Tobeg, is an adorable Cairn Terrier looking for a loving home. At approximately 4 years old and weighing 11 lbs, he is calm, well-behaved, and eager to be around his humans. He gets along well with small dogs but can be wary of larger ones, often barking when they approach. Because he doesn’t like being left alone, Toby would thrive in a home without shared walls, so apartment living may not be suitable for him. Toby has a special personality that's hard to resist and should ideally be adopted by someone who understands and loves Cairn Terriers. He truly is a heartthrob and deserves a cozy place to call home. Please note that families with children under 5 cannot adopt, and applicants should live within an hour of Albany, NY.
