Toby's Story

Meet Toby — a 1.5-year-old Dachshund mix with a big-dog look, the shortest little legs, and a heart that’s pure gold. 🐾💛 At about 20 lbs, he’s the perfect “small but mighty” companion.<br/><br/>Toby can be a little reserved at first, but give him 15–30 minutes and his true personality shines. Once he warms up, he’s sweet, affectionate, and wonderfully devoted. He has a calm, gentle presence and soulful eyes that make you feel instantly connected.<br/><br/>When Toby chooses you, he’s all in. He loves being close — following you around like your loyal little shadow or curling up nearby just to be part of your day. He has that special way of making you feel like his person.<br/><br/>Toby is vaccinated, neutered, and ready for his forever home. We also offer a foster-to-adopt program, so you can bring him home, let him settle in, and make sure it’s the perfect fit for both of you — no pressure, just love.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a small dog with big-dog vibes, endless loyalty, and the cutest short legs you’ve ever seen, Toby might be exactly who you’ve been waiting for.<br/><br/>📞 Call or text 619-919-6937 to arrange a playdate with Toby.<br/>Fair warning — once he warms up, it’s very hard not to fall in love. 🐶✨

Soulshine Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy
Soulshine Dog Rescue Adoption Policy At Soulshine Dog Rescue, our mission is to ensure that every dog we save finds a loving, committed forever home where they can thrive. We take this responsibility seriously and have a thorough adoption process in place to ensure the best match for both the dog and the adopter. Our Process Includes: A completed adoption application A phone interview to discuss lifestyle, expectations, and compatibility A home check (virtual or in-person) to ensure a safe and secure environment We also offer a "Foster with Intent to Adopt" option for those who would like to ensure a perfect fit before finalizing their adoption. This gives both the dog and the family time to adjust and bond in a supported way. Our Promise: If for any reason an adopter can no longer care for their dog—whether it’s months or years later—we require that the dog be returned to Soulshine. No judgment, no questions asked. Our commitment to every dog we rescue is lifelong, and we will always welcome them back when needed. By adopting through Soulshine, you become part of our extended rescue family—changing a life and gaining a loyal companion in return.
