Description:

Toby came from a rural animal control facility that has run out of room. We brought him to the Big City to hopefully find him a new forever home.

Toby was found wandering on a country road. Toby needs to find a place of his own. He is a sweet boy, who just wants to be loved and cared for. He gets along well with other dogs, kids, but we are not sure about cats yet. won't you please give him a chance at a better life? I know he would be forever grateful.

Update from foster mom:

Toby is a good dog who does display puppy behaviors. He gets along with the cat. He has not been crated but is kept in the kitchen with a baby gate. He does not try to jump the gate but does push it down to get out. He likes to be around people and sticks close by. He will not get on the couch but will put his head in her lap for attention. He has been around men and children and does well. He likes to go for walks and has run a few miles with her. He has settled in to the house well. He would make a great family dog so that he has plenty of attention and people to be around.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
