Toby's Story

Hi, I'm Toby-and my motto is: I can't see you, but I love you.<br/><br/>I'm a 7-8 year old, 26 lb. (mini) Border Collie mix (maybe Beagle??) with a big heart and a lot of resilience. I was found on MLK Blvd in Portland, blind, underweight and struggling. Not long after, I had to have my eyes removed due to painful glaucoma. But I've healed well, and I'm learning how to navigate the world in my own way.<br/><br/>I'm incredibly smart. I've already mapped out my foster home, I come when called (at home), and I sit like a pro-especially if treats are involved. I'm eager to learn and very motivated by food and praise. I just need someone patient to help me build confidence and boundaries.<br/><br/>I love people. I bond quickly, greet you with full-body wiggles, and want to be near my humans (but I'm not underfoot all the time). At home, I'm playful, affectionate, and happiest when I'm part of the action.<br/><br/>Outside can still be scary for me. Since I can't see, I react to sounds like barking dogs or nearby people-it can feel overwhelming. I'll need an understanding adopter, ideally someone with blind dog experience, who can help me feel safe and supported. I may also do well with a calm, confident dog friend to help guide me.<br/><br/>I enjoy tug toys, bones, Kongs, and cozy naps (especially on the couch). I sleep in my own bed at night and take daily meds to help with this new life.<br/><br/>What I need most is someone patient, kind, and willing to see my potential.<br/><br/>Because even though I can't see you... I will love you with everything I have.
