Toby's Story
Hi, my name is Toby! I'm a big 112-pound German Shepherd mix with an even bigger heart that's just waiting for the right person to help it shine. <br/><br/>Right now, the shelter makes me pretty anxious-I tend to pace, pant, and stay on edge because it's all a little overwhelming for me. Even so, I know my name and will come when you call, and once I start to warm up, I'll surprise you with how sweet I can be. <br/><br/>When you pet me, I'll lean into you and even rub against you like a cat, even if I try to act like I don't care. The truth is, I really do love the attention-I just get nervous and stubborn sometimes, so I need someone patient who will let me take things at my own pace. <br/><br/>The most important thing to know about me is that I'm bonded to my best friend, Buster. He's my rock, and I always keep my eyes on him, following him everywhere we go. When we're separated, I get anxious and just want to get back to him, so we'll need to find a forever home together. I may look independent and act like I'm too cool for cuddles, but really, that's just because I'm scared in this environment. <br/><br/>Deep down, I'm a very sweet boy who's ready to build a bond with a family that understands me. With time, patience, and the comfort of a safe home alongside Buster, I know my true personality will come out-and I'll show you just how loving and loyal I can be.
