I am housebroken and do a great job keeping my kennel clean. I will be happiest in a home where I am the only animal, so that I can soak up all the love I&#8217;ve been missing out on.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Toby\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"704\" height=\"960\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/5kaiWB0OYhlj4JMKhDJC6w--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTEzMDk7Y2Y9d2VicA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/beaver-county-times\/bb884210024661f3895e3ae75e95233a\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Toby<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When I first meet someone, I can be shy, but I warm up with love and patience. I enjoy snuggles and wagging my tail, and I am very curious about the world around me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Staff member Samuel has this to say about me:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cToby quickly became one of my favorites at the shelter. At first, he was pretty aloof. I took him on walks daily, but honestly, for the first few weeks, he wasn&#8217;t very interactive. However, one day I was sitting by the street petting his back, and out of nowhere he started wagging his tail. Since then, he&#8217;s opened up a lot, and we&#8217;ve become besties. He&#8217;s enthusiastic about his training, and I&#8217;ve noticed that he&#8217;s a really smart boy. At the same time, he&#8217;s also very sensitive. Last time he hung out, he was struggling with his scent-work training. I noticed that the poor buddy was starting to lower his ears as if he was getting frustrated about not understanding what I wanted him to do. I decided to have him work on something he&#8217;s more confident in (sit), and he immediately raised his ears and got very enthusiastic again. He really needed that little bit of encouragement! Something else I&#8217;ve noticed is that his friends are his safe space. He always wags his tail when he sees me coming into his room and gets super excited whenever I sit down on his bed, immediately crawling into my lap for snuggles. In some ways, I feel like his personality is very cat-like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I&#8217;m a sweet boy, looking for my person. Are you the one I&#8217;ve been waiting for?
