My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🐾 Meet Tobias! 🐾
Male | 2–3 Years | 13 lbs | Believed Corgi Mix
Adoption Fee: $250

Tobias is a sweet, shy little guy who just needs a patient, understanding home to help him blossom. The first thing you’ll notice about him is… he is loud. 😂 He’s all bark and no bite — a goofy, vocal wild child who uses his voice to tell the world how he feels. Underneath all that noise, though, he’s incredibly sweet.

Tobias is a bit unsure when meeting new people and may bark or growl at first, but he is very food-motivated and can be won over quickly with treats and kindness. Once he trusts you, his gentle, affectionate side shines. Outside his kennel he is a super sweet boy who just wants to be near his people.

Tobias has done well settling into a home environment, but leash walking is still a work in progress. Walking in a straight line isn’t quite his thing yet, and he tends to zig-zag back and forth in front of you, which can make him a bit of a tripping hazard. Because of this, Tobias would love a home with a fenced yard where he can safely run, play, and burn off his energy while continuing to work on leash manners at his own pace.

He enjoys the company of other dogs and does especially well with confident dogs around his size — he’s used to sharing his space with other pups. He did great meeting small dogs and was a little nervous around a large poodle, but still showed interest in making friends. One adorable thing he does? He loves following Wilma around like her tiny shadow. 💛

Tobias isn’t a full-time couch potato — he’s more of a spirited little adventurer — but he does enjoy napping on couches and riding in cars. He would do best in a patient home willing to give him the time he needs to settle in, build confidence, and learn new skills. With consistency and love, he will be a wonderful, loyal companion.

We are unsure how he is with kids or cats.

✨ Medical Info:
Tobias is vaccinated, flea & tick treated, tested negative for heartworm and Lyme, microchipped, and neutered.

If you’re looking for a quirky, vocal, lovable little guy who just needs a chance — Tobias may be your perfect match! 🐶💛💕

Their adoption process

Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

We do allow walk ins to meet animals they may want to adopt. We do not allow people to walk through the kennels we bring the animal to you.

2.

Submit Application

Not all animals need an application but some may need one due to having special needs or not being spayed or neutered yet.

3.

Take the Pet Home

You can usually take a pet home same day on foster or adoption. Foster is for a week for compatibility. Not all animals qualify for foster

Additional adoption info

Once an animal is chosen, you will pay the adoption fee via cash or card. The card does charge a fee to use. If an animal is not spayed or neutered yet we will schedule it with one of our vets or you may schedule it at your own vet and receive a reimbursement of $100 for dogs and $60 for cats. All animals are microchipped except barn cats.
