Here is what else Toby's foster family had to say about him:
Toby is very friendly to all he comes in contact with. At first if he doesn't know you, he will give a quick bark to introduce himself. There is no aggressive behaviors at all. He is a lover not a fighter. He is definitely not shy but does not need to be the center of attention either. Sometimes Toby will introduce himself and sometimes he will wait until be approached to meet other friends and dogs.
This guy is so chill that he does not worry when he is left alone. He quietly waits and naps until someone comes and shows him affection. He doesn't appear to have any fears as I have not found anything that bothers him at all. Toby is so easy going that he up for whatever his owner wants to do, whether that is play in the park or snuggle and watch a movie. He has just the right amount of energy to keep up with whatever his family is doing. At the end of an activity it is definitely nap time.
With occassional brushing there is minimal shedding. His fur so silky soft. Toby has fantastic manners and rarely barks. He will come when called and stay when told. He may benefit by learning some more commands but he is very gentlemanly. Toby has never had an accident in the house. He knows that he uses the yard as his washroom and is happy to wait until it is his turn to go to the washroom. There is no crating needed. He is very well behaved when left on his own.
He is a great car companion. He will just look out the window and when he is tired of that he will nap until you get where you are going. Toby loves to walk on a leash. There is minimal pulling and no barking. When Toby is off his leash he will stay with you. He may wander a short distance to investigate the area but you can always see him and he will come when called. He can keep up with almost any activity and is happy to do so. Toby only eats the food that is given to him. He will not try to steal food or take anything that he knows is not his.
This guy is so sweet and cuddly that he would blend in with any family whether it is a young family with babies or a mature family. He is just a joy to come home to everyday.
