Meet Toby, a one-year-old Basset Hound with a big presence and an even bigger heart. With his tall frame, floppy lace-like ears, and striking light eyes, Toby is a uniquely handsome boy who turns heads—but it’s his gentle spirit that truly shines.

Toby grew up in a home where he was loved, but his world was small. New environments, unfamiliar sounds, and bustling places can feel overwhelming to him, simply because he’s still learning how to navigate it all. But don’t let his initial nervousness fool you—Toby is sweet, loyal, and absolutely worth the wait. Once he trusts you, his playful, cuddly personality comes to life, and he’ll quickly become your most devoted companion.

He’s already mastered potty training, crate time, and gets along beautifully with other dogs, cats, and children. He especially lights up when he’s with other dogs, drawing comfort and confidence from having furry friends by his side. Whether he’s playing, lounging with a pup buddy, or crunching on his favorite snack (ice chips!), Toby finds joy in the little things.

Toby is looking for a patient, loving home—ideally one with another dog and people who are around often. He needs a family who will gently guide him as he builds courage in new experiences and give him the time and space to bloom at his own pace.

Toby may not be the dog who’s ready for busy outings just yet, but with love and understanding, he’ll become the best boy you could ever hope for—loyal, loving, and endlessly sweet. He’s not just looking for a home—he’s looking for a heart to grow with.
