Meet Toby — the red-and-white Siberian Husky mix with soulful eyes and a heart of gold.
At just 2 years old and 48 lbs, Toby has already lived through more heartbreak than most dogs ever should. Originally surrendered in South Carolina by an owner who loved him but couldn’t afford to keep him, Toby has since bounced between at least six different homes and shelters. Each time he thought he’d found his forever, he was let down again.

Despite it all, Toby’s gentle, loving spirit has never faded. He bonds quickly with people, is playful and affectionate, and absolutely adores children (as long as they know to give him space when needed). His favorite things? Snuggling beside you, playing like a goofball, and sleeping at your feet. He’s working hard on housetraining and crate training, and he’s already making amazing progress.


💔 What Toby Needs Most: A Patient, Committed Family
Toby has separation anxiety due to his history of abandonment, and he needs a home where someone can be around at first to help him rebuild his confidence. The good news? He responds quickly to love and structure — and he’s working with a trainer to learn how to feel safe again. He does best as the only dog in the home and would prefer a cat-free environment.


🧡 Toby’s Must-Haves:

  • A stable, patient, and loving home
  • No cats and no other dogs
  • An adopter willing to continue his training and support
  • A commitment to never give up on him

Toby is not broken. He’s a resilient, trusting soul who’s just waiting for the right person to fight for him the way he’s always fought to believe in love.
