Toby ~ 4yo Small Terrier boy (On Trial 20/3/16)

Hi, my name is Toby. I am a small terrier mix boy and am about 4 years old. I’m only little - I weigh just 5 kilos, but I am very friendly and affectionate.

I love to snuggle with my foster mum, and will crawl under the blankets at night to go to sleep. I don't move all night. I am fully house trained, I have not had an accident since being in foster care. I will let you know when I need to go outside. Because of my small size I need to be a house dog. I must sleep inside at night and will require a little dog jumper in the winter (I look very cute in a jumper).

I love children, I enjoy seeing the grandchildren every day. I have been at my foster home for 4 weeks and settled in well with my three doggie foster siblings.

I love to sit with my foster mum and watch TV, I follow her around the house and yard. I would be ok at home as an only dog if you are home during the day. However, if there is another small dog in the house then I will be fine if you go to work each day. I am frightened of big dogs, so will not suit a home with a large dog. I have not met cats, so I am not sure how I would go with them.

I am a very quiet dog, my foster mum has only heard me bark once! I have a low shed coat and just require a brush every day. I am good when being bathed - I don't really like it, but I just stand still in the bath while being washed.

I would love to be your little dog, I know you will fall in love with me.
