| About Toby |

Personality & Progress (2/5/2026)
Toby is a sweet, playful boy who is thriving in his foster home and showing more of his delightful personality every day. He has a wonderfully silly side and can often be found happily playing tug with his foster siblings or �borrowing� his foster mom�s neck pillow for a well-earned nap. As he continues to settle in, Toby�s confidence and charm keep blossoming.
Socialization & Home Life
Toby has earned himself the title of �ladies� man� and clearly enjoys female companionship. He�s a thoughtful, observant dog who prefers to build relationships at his own pace. When he�s ready, he�ll happily seek out affection from his foster mom and enjoys those quiet moments of connection.
He can be a little cautious when meeting new people and may bark or retreat at first, but with patience and gentle reassurance, he warms up nicely. Toby will do best in a calm, understanding home that allows him the time and space to feel secure. He has not been behaviorally tested with cats while in our care.
Training & Routine
Toby has made fantastic progress with his house training and confidently uses a dog door. He thrives on consistency and enjoys knowing what to expect each day. While his leash skills are still developing, positive, reward-based training classes would be a great way for Toby to build confidence and strengthen his bond with his future adopter.
Crate & Safety
Because food may have been limited earlier in his life, Toby is very food-motivated and eager at mealtimes. He can become excited when food is being prepared or when it�s time to settle into his crate, especially since he associates these moments with good things. A calm, predictable routine helps him feel his best.
A securely fenced yard is important for Toby. It gives him a safe place to run, play, and enjoy his zoomies � and has been a big part of his house-training success.
The Ideal Match
Toby is looking for a patient, loving home �with a fenced yard and a furry friend � where he can continue building confidence and trust at his own pace. For an adopter who enjoys forming a meaningful bond and celebrating small victories, Toby is ready to become a loyal, affectionate companion and a cherished member of the family.
