Toby is a one-year-old Husky/Heeler mix who truly embodies the best of both breeds—intelligent, affectionate, eager to learn, and wonderfully people-oriented. This sweet boy was recently rescued from the urgent euthanasia list at Hall County Animal Shelter and has been blossoming in his foster home.
❤️ Personality & Temperament
Toby is an incredibly gentle, friendly, and loving dog. He enjoys giving kisses, offering his paw, and occasionally jumping up for a soft hug. Despite having a Husky brain and Heeler instincts, he’s not noisy—no howling in his foster home! He’s wonderful with kids, tolerates handling extremely well (paws, mouth, toys, and food), and has shown great manners around other dogs, even ignoring an aggressive one during testing.
🧠 Trainability
This boy is smart, curious, and highly trainable. He already knows how to shake and responds well to redirection. He is food-motivated and eager to please, making him an excellent candidate for continued training or even working/breed-appropriate activities. As a Heeler/Husky mix, he thrives with structure, stimulation, and a purpose.
🚶♂️ Exercise & Home Needs
Toby LOVES going on walks and would thrive in a home with:
A fenced yard,
Room to run,
Or even a farm / active lifestyle where he can have a “job.”
He does well on a leash (especially with a harness) and stays by your side once he gets going.
🏡 House & Crate Training
Toby is housetrained when kept on a routine and sleeps through the night. He is still learning the crate and struggles being left alone—he becomes anxious and has shown destructive tendencies when unsupervised for extended periods.
If you’re home often or have a setup with a yard or outdoor space, he will thrive.
When people are home, he is calm, well-mannered, and shows none of the destructive behaviors. He is simply a young, intelligent dog who gets bored easily and needs proper outlets for his energy.
🐶 What He’s Like in the Home
Very gentle and affectionate
Good manners (doesn’t jump on furniture much and is respectful indoors)
Quiet for a Husky mix
Learning how to play and explore enrichment
Excellent sleeper
LOVING, trusting, and eager to bond
🩺 Medical
Toby is:
✔️ Neutered
✔️ Up-to-date on all vaccines (including rabies)
✔️ Heartworm negative
✔️ On monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention
All medical records are available.
🏡 Ideal Home for Toby
Toby would do best with someone who:
Has a fenced yard or land for running
Has another friendly dog OR is home often
Can provide structure, training, and exercise
Enjoys an affectionate, active companion
Understands working-breed needs
He would make an incredible partner for someone who wants a smart, loyal dog with tons of potential. Toby is loving, sweet, and ready for his forever family who can give him the lifestyle he deserves.
