About Toby so il

Meet Toby, a delightful Shih Tzu who's eager to find his forever home. This affectionate 4-year-old dog was discovered in a tough neighborhood, in desperate need of care and a loving family. After a thorough grooming, Toby emerged as the sweet companion he was always meant to be. Toby loves being around his people and enjoys curling up in laps. He’s food motivated, does well in his kennel, and is making strides with potty training — a big accomplishment considering his background. Although he may not have been an indoor dog before, he’s ready to embrace the comforts of home. This little guy walks beautifully on a leash and enjoys car rides, making him a perfect buddy for both adventures and cozy days inside. Toby gets along with dogs, cats, and children, although he might need a gentle approach from very young kids. Now healthy and freshly groomed, Toby is ready for a family that will show him the love he deserves.
