About Toby

Meet Toby, your new favorite snuggle buddy! This adorable young Shihpoo is under 3 years old and weighs about 13 pounds. Toby is all about affection—he loves curling up in laps and would much rather snuggle under the covers with you at night than sleep alone. Toby gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would likely do well with cats too. He has a bit of a unique situation when it comes to living arrangements: he's house trained when following a consistent potty schedule, but he isn't fond of being crated. Ideally, he needs a family where someone is home most of the day or can help him learn to be more independent. Currently, Toby is a bit wary of men, but with patience and gradual introductions, he can learn to trust them. Regular grooming is also a must for his maintenance as a Shihpoo. This sweet boy is ready for his forever home! Toby is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He’s not asking for much—just a cozy lap, lots of love, and a family who will cherish him as much as he cherishes them. Could Toby be your new best friend? Click apply to start the adoption process.
