Hello, my name is Toby.

My family moved into town from our farm and I wasn't able to go with them. I was rehomed and ran away. I was trying to find my farm, for 3 weeks, I was running the country. This is important because if I don't have a fenced yard at my new home, I will need a tie-out.

I am now in a foster home and am settling in, I love it. There's another pup here that plays with me all the time. I have a chair that I can catch the afternoon rays in, in the sunroom. I would love to sleep in bed with the foster humans, but I am coaxed to the dog beds on the floor.

When I go outside, I am on a tie-out because they don't have a fenced yard. I am not sure if I would try to find my old farm again or not. I am listening well when they call me to come, so eventually, I think things will be alright. If I get on a scent though, I can be a little hard headed at listening.

I do great not being kenneled. Initially I wanted to bite when trying to kennel me. I was coaxed into a kennel run with food, and my foster mom thinks I need to start learning to be ok with being kenneled. BUT I do so well with not being kenneled- I'm actually better when I am not kenneled. So, I think that might just be the way it will be.

I get so excited when my foster mom and dad get home from work. I greet them incredibly happily and dance around.

I am a quiet boy if I am not kenneled and if I am not left outside alone. You won't hear a peep from me - unless you kennel me or leave me outside alone.

If I see food on the floor I will go for it quickly. For this reason, I should not be in a home with young kids.

I would love to have a home where I can catch naps on the couch, snuggle on down time and go for daily walks. I definitely would love to have another dog in the home to play with.
