Why You Will Fall in Love with Toby
Tricks & Brains:
Highly intelligent and learns quickly. He loves giving high-fives and picks up on routine transitions easily.
Affection Machine:
Living for chin scratches, belly rubs, and cuddle sessions once he knows you.
Perfect Roommate:
Not food aggressive, doesn't howl, and only barks when upset. He is a seasonal light-shedder who respects the house (just keep him supplied with stimulating toys!).
Social Butterfly (With an Introvert Twist):
Loves playing with other dogs. He relaxes almost instantly around new people if they have a dog with them.
Cat & Teen Approved:
Great with teenagers and can live with cats after careful, slow introductions. He is a certified avid squirrel and bird chaser, so outdoor wildlife keeps him entertained!
Toby’s Journey & Growth
Toby’s foster family has been working to socialize him and teach him that the world is a safe place. He has made massive progress!
Toby needs proper introductions and patience to adjust to new situations and unfamiliar people. He is incredibly dedicated to those who earn his trust. If he gets startled or off-track, he is easily redirected. With a little love and patience, Toby will reach his full potential and be the greatest companion you could ever ask for.
Toby’s Perfect Home Includes:
Experienced dog owners who understand patience.
A secure, fenced-in yard for safe playtime.
Another confident resident dog to help him feel secure.
A family with older children or teenagers.

(Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.) PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster. We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php. We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at AlmostHome4Dogs@yahoo.com. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life... or two!
