Toby has arrived to his foster home from a high kill shelter located in West Virginia.  He was surrendered to the shelter by a young woman who rented an apartment and the landlord found out and said "the pup needs to go!".   So...poor Toby from himself in a not so nice place, but was one of the lucky ones to get rescued!

Based upon Toby's build and coloring, I definitely believe he is part dachshund...but, I am not sure what else he is mixed with!  Possibly Jack Russell or another type of terrier or toy breed??  He currently weighs 11 pounds and may pan out around 20 pounds?  Whatever he is mixed with....it is 100% sweetness!!! 

Toby arrived here on Saturday and we are all in love with this puppy!  He is such a little snuggler....I can see why the shelter named him Snuggabun :-)  Toby is happiest when we are holding him or letting him lay on our laps, but, he is also content to lay on the dog bed when we have chores to do.  He is being foster with four other dogs....from 15 pounds up to 75 pounds and is fine with all of them.  We also have a cat and he has shown no interest in her whatsoever!  Toby will be happiest with a family that is home most of the day and provide him with lots of loving.  In return....he will make an awesome pet! 

Toby is not much of a barker (at least yet) and sometimes will wimper if you leave his sight...and other times, he just quietly lays on the dog bed.  I think it depends how tired he is.   He is not completely housebroken, but he is only a puppy and we are making progress.  He is also being crate trained.

At the time of his adoption, he will have received at least two sets of parvo/distemper vaccines; bordatella vaccine (for kennel cough); dewormed with Drontal Plus and treated with Fronltine. 

If you are interested in this sweet boy, please complete an application on him on our website at www.worthytails.rescuegroups.org . Any questions, please send an e-mail to jessie.wilson@comcast.net.
