About Toby
đž STOP SCROLLING⌠YOUR PERFECT LITTLE SHADOW IS RIGHT HERE đž
Meet Toby â a 1 year old Maltese x Shih Tzu with a BIG personality packed into his tiny 7kg body đ
If youâre looking for a dog who will adore you, follow you everywhere, and happily snuggle into you at every opportunity⌠Toby is your boy.
This sweet little man came into care through no fault of his own and is now ready to find a home where he can truly be someoneâs whole world â because thatâs exactly what youâll become to him đś
⨠Why youâll fall in love with Toby:
⢠The ultimate cuddle bug (professional couch snuggler đď¸)
⢠Loves kids and enjoys being part of a family
⢠Loves other dogs and would thrive with a playful friend
⢠Confident, friendly, and loves meeting new people
⢠Toilet trained and enjoys his daily walks
⢠Hilariously quirky â think walking along the back of the couch and squeaking toys like itâs his full-time job đ
Toby is that perfect mix of playful and calm â zoomies with his doggy friends one minute, curled up in your arms the next.
đ His ideal home?
Toby is looking for someone who is home most of the time, as he loves company and doesnât enjoy being left alone for long. He has so much love to give and just wants to be part of your everyday life.
He would absolutely LOVE a doggy sibling, but would also be happy as your one and only if youâre around to give him plenty of attention.
đą Other pets:
Toby has not been cat tested.
âď¸ Grooming:
As a Maltese x Shih Tzu, Toby will require regular grooming to keep his coat healthy and comfortable. While a previous groomer noted he could be a little difficult, weâre happy to share that since being in care he has had two grooms with very positive, happy feedback on his behaviour đ
⨠Toby isnât just a dog â heâs a little best friend, a shadow, a cuddle companion, and your biggest fan all in one.

Adoption details
Paw Prints Canine Rescue is a non for profit dog rescue located in Southeast Queensland.
All our dogs leave our care with full vet work (up-to-date vaccinated, microchipped, desexed, heart worm and intestinal wormed and flea treated).
Please note - They will not leave for their new homes until they are 12 weeks of age and have been desexed, micro-chipped and vaccinated up to date.
Please note - we are not a pound or have kennels - all our dogs stay in foster carers homes and therefore dogs are not able to be simply viewed - only approved applicants will meet the dogs.
Please Note: We do not hold any animals so please only apply if you are ready to adopt now
Please note - We don't take calls on adoption enquiries - an application must be completed
We can also be found at https://www.facebook.com/pawprintscanine/
Complete the following adoption enquiry link
https://goo.gl/forms/PqpkCcE89ikDR2Lw1
Once an adoption enquiry is completed our admin team will assess the application and if successful we will arrange for a meet and greet to be completed. We may also request photos of your yard for consideration of your application. Please note that we will do no more than 3 meet and greets per dog.
Approved applicants will be contacted to arrange a time for a meet & greet via email. You must bring your current dog along to the meeting if you are meeting another dog/puppy, this is to ensure they get along before commencing adoption - proof of your dogs up-to-date vaccination is required before any meet and greet is arranged.
Our adoption fee must be cleared in our bank account before any animal is available for pick up. Please note we bank with ANZ - any other bank may take 48 hours to process the monies.
Paw Prints Canine Rescue has a 10 day trial period â this basically means that if for any reason the adoption does not work out and the dog needs to be returned to us, the adoption fee minus an admin fee (minimum is $250) will be returned to the adoptees via bank transfer within 7 working days.
Please note that if an interstate adoption needs to be returned or regional adoption all transport cost with be paid by the adopter.
Please also note while this can be a very exciting time for everyone, it can also be an overwhelming time for dogs and we ask that you do try and allow your new family member to settle in their new home and adjust
INTERSTATE ADOPTIONS **
Any transport costs are to be paid by the adopting family, however we can assist you in helping with transport to airports etc.
** Please note some of our dogs are not available for interstate adoption - each bio will state if available for adoption - please check before applying.
AFTER THE TRIAL PERIOD
After the 10 day trial period is completed Paw Prints Canine will send out all relevant paperwork for your new furbaby via email including the transfer of microchip form.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
