My story

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

A little bit about Toby:
- Friendly, positive history with kids, all interactions should be supervised
- No history with cats or small animals, all introductions to be done slowly over time
- Came in with littermate, potential for other dog in home pending successful introduction

Introducing Toby, a 4-year-old shepherd mix who arrived in our care with his brother, Markki. If you were in the market for two sweet, gentle giants, Toby and Markki could still go home together, but they are also happy to find homes separately. Toby may also do well with another dog with careful management and a successful introduction at the shelter. Toby is friendly with people of all ages and absolutely adores affection - he loves pets so much that he’s been known to scoot his brother aside to get a turn!

While social and sweet, Toby can be a bit shyer than Markki and may feel nervous in new environments. A patient home will help him settle in and build confidence, which we`re sure won`t take very long! He’s a strong, enthusiastic dog who is currently working on loose-leash walking and learning not to jump up when he’s excited. Continuing this training with positive reinforcement techniques in his next home will help him progress even further. Toby is also on the rounder side (although not as round as his brother) and would benefit from a gradual weight-loss plan paired with regular exercise. Toby has not been around cats or small animals, so any introductions should be slow and carefully managed.

There will never be another lonely or dull moment with Toby by your side, so come meet this sweet bear today!

More about this shelter

CONNECTING LIVES SINCE 1922

From our earliest beginning, Calgary Humane Society was more than a shelter. As Calgary’s first-established animal welfare organization, connecting the lives of animals and people while providing essential animal services to the community remains our central priority.

Today, Calgary Humane Society (CHS) shelters almost 5,000 homeless animals each year. In 1922 we set out to help as many animals as we can and we will continue to do so by fostering the values of respect, compassion, commitment, teamwork, integrity and innovation.

Our mission is to help as many animals as we can.

Our vision is using innovative strategies to lead, inspire, and educate in the humane treatment of companion animals, fostering an enlightened community that consistently demonstrates respect and compassion for all animals.

Our dream is a community where animals are valued, humanely treated, and live enriched lives.

Calgary Humane Society is committed to creating a better tomorrow through education and collaboration.
