About Toby

Toby is a gentle pup on the hunt for a warm, loving home. He arrived at the shelter on October 13, 2026, and he's prepared to find someone who understands his shy demeanor. While Toby can be hesitant around new faces and environments, he quickly transforms into a devoted and affectionate companion when he feels safe. He'd do best in a calm household with minimal traffic and without children under 8 years old. Now vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, Toby is ready for his forever home. If you think you can provide him with the love and patience he needs, reach out to an adoption counselor today!
