TOBY's Story

**Meet Toby on Saturday, June 20th from 10 am to 1 pm at Dublin Petsmart west, 6960 Amador Plaza Rd.**<br/><br/>Toby is a little cutie who lives in a foster home with Tri Valley Animal Rescue volunteers. He likes to snuggle on the couch, and he's enjoying the yard and making friends with the resident dogs and cats. He likes going for walks, and does well when training with treats. He is approximately 3 years old and he weighs 14 pounds. He's a nice sturdy, compact size. He's neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. <br/><br/>Toby is a confident, strong boy with a big heart and the classic terrier spirit. He is intelligent, alert, and full of personality. While he can be affectionate, and playful, Toby also has firm boundaries and a strong demand for respect of his personal space and comfort.<br/><br/>Toby needs an experienced adult-only home that is fully prepared to meet him where he is. Two types of homes would be a strong match:<br/><br/>1. Management-Focused Home<br/>Owners who excel at reading canine body language, respect his warning signs, and proactively manage and avoid his triggers.<br/><br/>2. Dedicated Training Home<br/>A handler or family with a strong work ethic who is willing to invest consistent, balanced training to help Toby learn new, more appropriate responses. This home must be realistic: while Toby has excellent potential for significant improvement in his "anger management", his responses may never be 100% reliable. Progress depends heavily on the right dog-and-handler team.<br/><br/>If you're interested in Toby, you can submit an application by clicking the "Apply For Adoption" box located below his photos on the right side.<br/><br/>You can also copy and paste the following dog adoption link into your browser:<br/><br/>https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TVAR/Dog
