Meet Toby, a 6-month-old, 26-pound Carolina Corgi mix with a heart as big as his adorable ears. Toby's journey began with heartbreak when he was abandoned at a high-kill shelter at just 4 months old. While his mom was quickly adopted, Toby was left behind, 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. Everyday sounds and unfamiliar surroundings overwhelmed him. But Toby found comfort in his foster sisters. By watching them confidently explore, play, and enjoy life, he slowly began to follow their lead. Today, Toby happily goes outside on leash, loves playing with his foster sisters, and enjoys stretching out in the sunshine for a relaxing afternoon sunbath.
Toby is shy when meeting new people and needs time to decompress in new environments. Once he feels safe, however, he blossoms into a loyal little companion who will quietly follow you everywhere. He is calm, gentle, incredibly sweet, and completely non-confrontational. He does not resource guard and has wonderful manners around other animals. Toby loves to hang out and lay either on bookshelves or under desks, or right by his foster sister.
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 and learning that the world is a safe place. He would do best in a quieter home without young kids. A happy, confident, playful dog in the home is required. Yards MUST be adequately and fully fenced to adopt our pups. We do not accept electric or underground fences.
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. Because he is still working through his fear of loud noises and the outside world, we are not yet asking him to go outside regularly for potty breaks. Instead, we are focusing on helping him build confidence at his own pace. Toby is a very smart puppy and a quick learner. We believe that once he becomes more comfortable with outdoor noises and new environments, transitioning to outdoor potty training will be easy for him. With a patient family and a confident dog companion to show him the ropes, Toby is expected to housebreak very quickly.
