Howdy Doody, my name is Toby and I’m a handsome little Pug/Chihuahua mix about 1-year-old, weigh 15 lbs, and I was dumped in a neighborhood in San Antonio. In Texas, this is how you get rid of a dog when you don’t feel like spending money for vaccines or a neuter, and definitely not for a microchip or even a collar with a tag. You wouldn't want someone to be able to locate you and bring the dog back. Anyway, I was confused and terrified, shaking with fear when a lady picked me up with a towel, scared I would bite, but I didn't. That's not my style. A day or two later I decided she was nice and showed her my sweet and affectionate personality.
It turns out I am a really nice boy, calm with a medium energy level and a go-with-the-flow attitude. I am shy when I first meet new people, but always nice about it and I make friends instantly with dogs and kitty cats. I love playtime and doggy toys, walks to the park, and snuggling beside you while we watch TV. I’ll stand on my hind legs and reach my arms way out asking to be picked up so I can hug my foster mom and share little kisses. She says I smile when I’m happy and am telling you to keep on petting me! I am about 90% housebroken, only bark to alert, well-behaved in a home, sweet and affectionate, easygoing, and totally handsome! I hear many wonderful families on the East Coast would be happy to have a sweet little dog like me, so I can't wait to meet them and get my life started! Inquire about me today and bring me home!

Please DO NOT apply unless the entire family / household is on board with adopting one of our dogs. We must receive an application for you to move forward in the process. Thoughtful direct emails are welcome and will be answered. However, an application is still a necessary step. We want to make sure we find our dogs a perfect fit with a family so both the dog and the family are happy. We keep our dogs with fosters once we get them out of shelters for a little bit to learn and understand their personalities. Our relationship with families doesn't stop at adoption! We are always available for any follow up questions and are happy to be a resource as you and your new pet settle into a routine.
