Hello World,

My name is Toby the Terrific and I’m a loving and playful bichon who adores being by your side (or better yet, in your lap!) I’m about 3 years old, weigh a slim, trim 15 pounds, have a soft white coat and a heart full of love.

I’m happiest when I’m close to my special person or people. If you’re sitting, I like to curl up in your lap or, at the very least, on your feet. If I want a cuddle, I’ll gently ask — and I will hug your legs to let you know I’d like to be picked up. I love to be wherever you are— in the house or in the yard. I’m a joyful companion who enjoys being with you wherever you go. 

Playtime is another favorite time as I enjoy chasing balls (I think the game is called fetch and I do it really well!) I also like to carry them proudly when I’m done.

I get along well with the dogs I meet on my walks, though I’d prefer being the center of someone’s world, and not having to share attention at home. I’m very affectionate with women (men make me a bit nervous— at least at first.)I do well with older children (8 or older) who understand how to be gentle and respectful of a little guy. I happily play ball with them and soak up the attention.

I’m completely housebroken (and that is not a typo!), ride well in the car, am learning to walk well on a leash, and working on commands like sit and come. I’m a moderate-energy boy who enjoys yard play, walks, rides, adventures —and plenty of cuddle time.

My Ideal Home MUST Have:
– Someone who loves lap dogs and cuddle time
– A home where I can be the only pup (so I don’t have to share the love!)
– A patient, gentle person or family who’ll help me continue to build confidence
– A loving home where I can feel safe and be adored

Experience Level
– Previously owned and adored dogs
– Adopters who understand and appreciate dogs who thrive on being companions

I’m loving, happy, and playful, and I’d love nothing more than to be your devoted little shadow. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will always be by your side, I hope you’ll ask for me.

Tail wags and Snuggles,
Truly Devoted (to you!) Toby
