10/24/23 Yes, Toby is a Grumpy old man. But he doesn't require much attention. He's quiet in his exercise pen and likes to stroll around the fenced yard. He'll find a sunny spot to soak up some sun, and then he's ready to come back in and climb back in his bed. Toby is a Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix, approximately 6 years old. He came to us from being saved off the streets of a big Texas town. Toby needs a home that can help him trust people. He doesn't really want to be handled but likes to observe from a safe space out of the reach of people. Toby craves the safety of his crate - he will go outside into the fenced yard when you open his crate door, and he comes back in when called and will hop in his crate. He does not appreciate hands in his crate, so if you need to pick him up, talking quietly to him in an area where he cannot hide, he will allow you to pick him up and accept a few skritches. He's black and white and weighs about 10 pounds. He gets along with all the other dogs here and will need a securely fenced yard and someone who will allow him to relax and be with you without needing much attention until he knows he's safe.

Upon receiving a completed application, we will contact your two personal references plus your veterinarian, and then schedule a home safety visit with you. We do have all adopters sign an adoption contract and ask for an adoption donation (dependent on the age of the dog) to help defray the costs of vetting the dogs in our care. We prefer to not place our dogs in homes where there are children under the age of 10. You must be able to pick up your dog - we do not use commercial transportation methods.

More about this rescue
We have seen the need to provide more foster home environments for dogs needing a second chance, so our rescue was just founded at the beginning of 2016. We welcome donations to help with the care of our foster dogs, and we also welcome local people interested in fostering or helping us in any way to fill out the volunteer application.
