Sweet Toby is a 13 year old Pekingese/Maltese mix looking for his retirement home. Toby Los not only his home, but the only family he has ever known when his owner chose to move out and leave him behind in the apartment. When he arrived with us he had horrible dental disease and as a result had to have 18 teeth removed!!! Through all of that, Toby sweet, playful and with the energy of a 5 year old dog. He loves to do Zoomies, sniff walks and car rides!!Toby would love a family that includes him in their activities. He gets along with other small dogs selective with big dogs and great with cats! If they run he will chase them; but if they teach him who the boss is he leaves them alone. He would be better with kids over 12 due to his age.
