Meet Toby, a 6-month-old, 26-pound Carolina Corgi mix with a heart as big as his adorable ears! Toby's story began with heartbreak. Abandoned at a high-kill shelter at just 4 months old, he was scared and alone. Thankfully, a loving foster stepped in and gave him the chance he deserved. When Toby first arrived in foster care, he was terrified of the outside world. But by watching his foster sisters, he slowly began to gain confidence. Today, Toby happily goes outside on leash, loves playing with his foster sisters, and enjoys relaxing in the sunshine. Toby is shy when meeting new people and needs time to decompress in new environments. Once he feels safe, he blossoms into a loyal companion who will quietly follow you everywhere. He is calm, gentle, incredibly sweet, and non-confrontational. He does not resource guard and has wonderful manners around other animals. Toby loves to hang out by his foster sister or lounge on bookshelves or under desks.
Ideal Home
Toby thrives in the company of other pets and looks to them for reassurance and confidence. Because of this, a happy, confident, playful dog in the home is required. Toby trusts dogs more than humans, and having a canine role model helps him continue building confidence. Toby would do best in a quieter home without young kids. A calm environment will help him relax and continue gaining confidence. Yards MUST be adequately and fully fenced; electric or underground fences are not accepted.
Ongoing Health
Toby is fully vaccinated with 3 rounds of shots, neutered, and heartworm negative. He is kept on heartworm and flea preventatives.
Training & Support
Toby is currently puppy pad trained and has done an excellent job learning where to potty indoors. He is still working through his fear of loud noises and the outside world, so the focus is on helping him build confidence at his own pace. He is a very smart puppy and a quick learner. With a patient family and a confident dog companion to show him the ropes, Toby is expected to housebreak very quickly.
