Toby is great with children and other dogs, so he fits well into a lively family. Keep in mind that he’ll need a secure yard, given his small size and potential threats from larger birds. Ideally, his new home should be one where someone is around most of the time to help him adjust to being held and showered with affection. For serious adopters, getting in touch with the rescue is key. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
