About

Toby is still looking for a home. He was found as a stray in April, the owners (located via his chip), couldn’t take him back. The vet says he’s a Sharpei mix, and estimated to be between 2-4 yrs old. I have completely vetted him and he is now fully healed from his neuter. His vet care to this point has exceeded $300-but he is in great health and ready for a forever, loving home. I am keeping him on flea, tick and hw prevention while in my care. Toby is: house trained, takes treats gently, has leash manners, wants to be with someone, loves lap time, enjoys being outside. Toby would love a home without small children (he gets jumpy excited) and someone able to walk him. A fenced yard isn’t required, but would be nice. Not sure about shared walls housing since he has a deep bark. We currently keep him separated from my dogs since they are not always nice to others. We have taken Toby to a park to see his reaction in public. He ignores adults, nub wags at children, but gets jumpy excited when dogs walked by. When on walks, he shows interest in squirrels, rabbits but is brought back on track with a stern “No”. When in the fenced yard, he plays and self entertains, and checks to see you’re still there once in awhile. A meet and greet is required and I am asking for a $300 rehoming fee. He will keep his new bed, new collar and of course his toys to help with his adjustment into a new home. Please keep in mind dogs may take a few weeks to get settled in a new home. We could tell Toby had been through a lot and took him about 2 weeks to feel comfortable. He is now on a “schedule” and responds to “go for a walk”, “ready breakfast”, “ready for supper”, and “ready for bed?”.
