He's been making progress with potty training, though he sometimes needs a bit of extra time for morning bathroom breaks. This little guy sleeps peacefully through the night and has been kept in top shape with regular grooming. While he loves his cuddles, Toby also has a sensitive side; loud noises and new people can make him anxious. He would thrive in a patient home that offers reassurance and understands his need for comfort. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will accompany you on adventures and snuggle up at night, Toby may just be the right fit for you! Ready to give Toby the loving home he deserves?
