🩺 Health Notes
Toby is a senior sweetheart with a couple of manageable health needs:
- He has a heart murmur and requires medication costing approx. $100 every three months
- He has had most of his teeth removed, so he eats soft food comfortably and without issue
- These needs don’t stop him from enjoying life—he’s cheerful, content, and thriving with the right care.
🏡 Ideal Home
Toby would flourish with someone who appreciates a calm, easygoing companion and has another dog of similar size. He suits retirees, adults, or families who can offer him a peaceful environment and keep up with his simple medical routine.
❤️ Why You’ll Love Him
Toby’s loyalty is unmatched. Once he bonds with you, he’ll be your quiet little shadow and lifelong friend. He may be small, but he brings a huge amount of love and companionship.
Toby is in foster care in Medowie, NSW. His adoption fee is $400, and he is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, treated for fleas, ticks and worms.
