Hi. Hello. HI AGAIN! I’m Toby. I’m big and I'm bouncy.

Let me walk you through a typical day in the glamorous life of ME!

First thing in the morning, I zoom around the yard like I’m late for a very important meeting. Then I crash into a snuggle pile while the humans drink their mysterious bean water. I don't get any. Rude.

After that, breakfast and then into The Crate. Dun dun dunnnnn. Look, I’m working on it, okay? I tolerate the crate because my foster people say it builds "life skills" or whatever. I say… justice for Toby.

Post-work hours are my absolute jam. We walk. We play. We vibe. I vastly prefer when my humans are in the yard with me so I can supervise their every move and remind them how lucky they are. After dinner, I transform into a certified snuggle blanket on the couch. At bedtime, I sleep near my people so I can protect them from nightmares and also from being un-snuggled.

Now, let’s get a few things straight:

  • I love people. Like, LOVE them. I want to be with you. On you. Around you. In your emotional space.
  • I love dogs. Especially playful ones. If you’ve got a dog who’s down to party, we’ll be besties.
  • I like cats too! I’d like them more if they’d actually play with me instead of giving me their “peasant” face.
  • I am a collector of brain cells - currently at 2 - I'm on a roll!
  • Big fan of kids! Snuggly, playful ones. But I’m still in my "enthusiastic jumping and light nibbling" era, so no tiny humans who can’t take a hit (of love).
  • I'm a genius in a fuzzy suit. I learn fast. I just need someone who’ll keep up the good work and help me chill my big ol' puppy energy. Because right now, I’m joy in dog form with the impulse control of a raccoon at a rave.

Important note: I'm a bit loud and a lotta dog, so apartments and attached homes aren’t my vibe. I need space for my zoomies and a yard where I can pretend I’m hosting a nature documentary.

As you can see, I'm hilarious, happy, and people-obsessed, so let’s do this.
