About Tobias Terrific Local

Meet Tobias Terrific, a charming 14-month-old Dachshund/Bulldog mix, weighing about 55 pounds. He and his brothers were surrendered in Mississippi and are ready for their forever homes in New England. Although he can be a bit shy initially, he warms up quickly, eager to spread his love by following you everywhere. Tobias is obedient and will play happily but knows when it’s time for bed—no late-night shenanigans for this pup. He is friendly with other dogs and although he hasn’t spent much time with children, he gets along well with cats. Known for his good leash manners and crate training, he’s a smart guy who already knows commands like "sit," "stay," and "stop." In the car, Tobias can get a little car sick, so he hopes his future family will focus on calm driving. He does howl when left alone but quickly settles once he realizes he has some downtime to himself. Since he currently lives in a dedicated pet area, he'll need a patient family to help him with potty training—but he’ll learn quickly for your affection. All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and are neutered at adoption. Let Tobias be your perfect companion! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
