Story
Meet Toby — the official Mayor of Wiggle Town and the happiest little pitty/staffy mix (no promises!) you’ll ever meet. At just around 2 years old and the perfect fun-size, Toby greets the entire world with full-body wiggles that start at his nose and end at his tail. People? Wiggles. Dogs? Wiggles. Kids? Wiggles. Cats? Also wiggles. Complete strangers walking by minding their business? You guessed it — wiggles. Toby doesn’t overthink life; he simply chooses joy every single day.
This boy is sweetness wrapped in a chunky, adorable, kissable face. He takes treats so gently you can actually feel his soft little lips graze your fingers. He already knows “sit,” loves praise, and melts instantly the second you show him kindness. He’s a total toy lover — especially tug of war — and he brings the same goofy excitement to every game he plays. He’s fun without being chaotic, silly without being wild, and affectionate without being overwhelming. He really is that perfect mix of playful and polite.
Watch Toby wiggle non-stop in his video!

Toby absolutely lights up around kids. He did amazing with a little girl who offered him fries, toys, and cuddles, and he handled it all with patience, gentleness, and full-body joy. He’s the kind of dog who adores being part of a family and would happily soak up all the attention children can give. Because he’s so wiggly and happy, older kids (around 7+) would likely be his best match — but he’s truly a sweetheart.
With other dogs, Toby is a total social star. He did wonderfully with every dog he met — friendly, appropriate, eager but respectful. He’s a bit of a rough-and-tumble player once the zoomies start, but he also knows how to take breaks, wander off on his own, or leave another dog alone when they’re done playing. He’d thrive with a medium-energy doggy sibling who likes to romp, but he’d also be perfectly content soaking up all the love as an only dog.
He even did well with the cat he met — curious and friendly, not over-the-top — but because he was a bit distracted, we’d recommend an overnight cat test if his future family has kitties. Nothing major — just making sure everyone gets along.
Toby is the definition of adaptable. He’s quiet, good on leash, and not much of a puller, so he’d likely do great in an apartment. Once the adventures are done, you can absolutely expect him to become the world’s softest, happiest little couch potato. He’s loving, calm when he needs to be, smart, silly, and so ready for a home that will adore him as much as he adores everyone he meets.
Toby is more than just a good dog — he’s a heart-melter, a mood-lifter, and a daily dose of joy. Whoever takes him home is getting a loyal best friend who will wiggle his way into their life and never, ever leave their heart.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
