Tobi

At just 6 pounds, 12-year-old Tobi may be tiny in size, but he carries the quiet dignity of an old soul who's seen a lot, and still has so much love left to give. He's currently being adored in his Houston-area foster home, where his foster mom says he brings out the deepest motherly instincts with his tender, quiet presence. Tobi is the definition of a polite house guest. He spends most of his time rotating between two beds and a kennel... he's never once needed the door shut, he just likes to tuck himself into cozy corners and nap the day away. He gets along beautifully with the resident dog and cat, and while he isn't one to seek out affection, he's content to be gently snuggled and loves a good belly rub or a roll in his favorite blanket. Like many seniors, Tobi has some arthritis and is on anti-inflammatory meds. His activity level is low, but he's earned the right to take things slow. A sunny spot outside? Heaven. A quiet room with soft beds and understanding company? Pure bliss. His hair is still growing back from a tough past, so his foster is careful to protect his delicate skin, but his little patches are filling in more each week. Tobi's a bit of a character, too. When it's time to go outside or eat, his inner Yorkie shows up loud and proud! He'll stand there barking like he's 80 pounds- It's ridiculously cute and a reminder that while he may be fragile, he's still got spirit.

Ideal Home

Tobi is looking for a peaceful home where someone will love him for exactly who he is-a delicate, dignified, delightful old man who just wants a soft place to land and someone who sees the magic in his quiet ways. For the safety of our small breed dogs and based on our past experiences, we will not place our dogs in homes with large breed dogs.

Ongoing Health

Like many seniors, Tobi has some arthritis and is on anti-inflammatory meds. Tobi will need to be to be on a joint supplement like glucosamine and Chondroitin or possibly NSAID for arthritis pain in his legs and spine. Tobi also has a minor condition called paraphimosis (his little boy part doesn't always tuck back in), but it's managed easily with Vaseline and doesn't slow him down or bother him much anymore. His hair is still growing back from a tough past, so his foster is careful to protect his delicate skin.

Training & Support

Housebreaking is a work in progress, but Tobi's about 50/50 and improving daily. If the back door's open, he'll head out on his own, and he's never had an accident with number two. Catch him after a nap, and you're golden. He's quick though, so his future person should be, too!
