  • His DOB is Dec. 31, 2003, and his coat colors are black, silver, white and tan.
  • He has a clean bill of health/current on all shots.
  • He’s a California native and has only been in Chicago since October. He's adjusted pretty well to his environment, considering this harsh winter.
  • He needs a loving, caring, & energetic family that loves dogs.
  • Toby would do well in a large yard where he can run around and be free. By nature he’s an outdoor dog – but will do well indoors – he just needs a lot of exercise and play time.
  • He's super sweet, lovable, has a wonderful personality; he's protective, lots of fun and extremely playful!
  • He loves to take walks (usually two times a day), loves to play fetch and have his tummy rubbed.
  • He's been very well trained and understands all basic commands. He's also potty trained and fixed, so no puppy making for him.
