4/22 Toby Update

Toby has been doing so well in his foster home. His coat has gotten much thicker and softer.

Foster Mom Phoebe says:

Toby is very affectionate with the family but a little conservative around strangers. He is very protective of his caretaker and would be a good companion with a family who is familiar with the breed. He seems to prefer men over women.

Toby prefers dog runs that are big and open over smaller ones. He loves to cuddle up and sleep in his dog chair. He gets nervous and barks when he hears the subway go by. He loves to go for walks and play with his stuffed ball.

If left home alone, we need to make sure there isn’t anything within his reach that he would like to chew up. Otherwise he is well behaved when home alone.

Introducing Toby

toby-1.jpg toby-2.jpg

This beautiful black & tan boy is Toby. Toby is about 4 years old, neutered, up to date on his vaccinations, and microchipped. Toby was surrendered by his owners to a shelter in Southern NJ but they gave very little information about him. After his initial vet check at the shelter, they found that he was heartworm positive. Being a municipal shelter, they were not a position to treat him. They contacted us and we brought him into NYCSR’s foster program.

Toby was admitted to West Hills Animal Hospital, who did an amazing job previously with our foster Shiba, Molly. There, Toby was diagnosed with Stage One Heartworm Disease, which is the lowest level of heartworm infestation and is highly treatable. Toby was administered treatment, did extremely well and is expected to make a full recovery. He suffered no side effects and was released into an NYCSR foster home after a 3-day stay, but not before winning the hearts of the vets and staff at West Hills; he was a perfect guest!

Toby is a sweet, calm and very affectionate. He’s good with other dogs and loves to lounge with his humans. He’s crate and leash trained and housebroken. He’s also great in the car. Check back for more info on this special boy!
