About Toby

Toby is available for adoption.He is so cute and will steal your heart in a New York minute. We are now thinking that he is a Shiba Inu mix. He is 28 pounds and approximately 18 months old and is now neutered and heartworm negative. He is the little boy that I found in the middle of the highway last week. Very loving and already responds to his name. He is great in the car and house broke and crate trained. He has done well with everyone he has met except we don't have any kids to test him with. His foster had her 10-year-old grandson over and Toby did not respond well to him. Not sure yet if it was just him or he does not care for kiddos. If interested in meeting him, he is in Hewitt and can be seen by appointment. Not sure what he is mixed with. The Shiba is alert, confident, courageous and bold. It is loving, kind, trainable and brave. It is clean and most try to avoid puddles and are relatively easy to housebreak. They bark little and bond closely with their handler. Playful and delightful, a well-adjusted Shiba is good with kids, other dogs and cats. Active, lively, agile and fast. Socialize this breed well as a puppy, as they can be reserved with strangers. If the Shiba is not completely convinced that its handler can handle the pack leader position and regards itself as stronger minded it will become a bit stubborn as it will believe it needs to make up its own rules. Proper human to canine communication is essential. A natural hunting dog, the Shiba should not be trusted alone with small pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, rodents and small birds. Be careful when taking them off leash as they like to chase, especially if they do not regard their owners as a strong pack leader. Adapts well to traveling. Make sure you are this dog's firm, confident, consistent leader, providing daily pack walks to avoid behavior issues. If you are interested in Toby, please text Gail at 254-722-6870.
