Meet TOBY!
TOBY was saved from a high-kill shelter in Texas and arrived at Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine on Friday, February 14th, 2025. We post our available dogs across the East Coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes of finding them the perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs—families must come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine, to meet and, hopefully, take their new companion home.
Health & Background
TOBY arrived in great health and is fully vetted:
✅ Neutered
✅ Rabies and core vaccines up to date
✅ Heartworm and tick disease tested – all negative
✅ On monthly preventatives
✅ Microchipped
⚖️ Weighed 62.4 lbs on February 12th - probably more 75+ pounds now
Estimated DOB: December 2022
TOBY’s Personality
Happy, goofy, and full of life
❤️ Gentle, sweet, and very affectionate
Loves to “chat” with his people—he’s a social boy who enjoys connection
Enjoys toys and doing the zoomies when he’s excited
Bonds quickly—after just a short time, he’ll lay at your feet waiting for love
Walks fairly well on a leash but does pull a bit—mainly because he’s eager to explore everything around him
Very curious—always interested in noises, scents, and what’s going on nearby
Rides great in the car—settles down easily and calmly
Can be jumpy when excited—just needs reminders and consistency
Attempted to jump a 4ft chain-link fence to greet a neighbor’s dog—he wanted to play, not escape
Strong, playful, and people-focused
Was adopted briefly—his family described him as engaging, intelligent, friendly, and affectionate, but more dog than they were ready for
With basic training and clear expectations, TOBY will make an incredible addition to an active, loving family
Texas Shelter Observation
When approached, TOBY came up with his tail wagging and happy
Accepted petting and allowed a loop lead to be put on him
Walked nicely to the van and was calm when picked up into the van
Very sweet boy
