Toby

My story

Meet Toby 2 to 3y old! 🖤✨ The Fun-Sized Blue Poodle/Goldendoodle with a BIG Personality sporting his summer style for water friendly play time 🥰 Fostered in Virginia Beach, VA At just 30 lbs, Toby might be small, but don’t let his size fool you—this little fluff is bursting with love, energy, and just the right amount of mischief! 🐾💨 Toby is finally getting to enjoy the good life, and wow, is he making up for lost time! He’s learning that food is always available (so no need to growl at mealtime anymore!), and he’s absolutely mastered the art of treat-taking—seriously, the gentlest treat-taker we’ve seen in ages! 🍖✨ Quick Facts: 🐕 Dog-Friendly? Yes! He’s a social, confident boy who jumps right into play—but he’s a rough-and-tumble kind of guy, so he’d do best with a playful, younger female dog. He would not be a good fit for a senior or low-energy dog. (Recently neutered and likely an ex-breeder dog.) 🏡 Crate Trained? 100%! 🚽 House Training? Almost there—just needs a bit more consistency. 💨 Energy Level? High! He’s an active little guy who loves to run, play, and then crash on the couch for cuddles. ❤️ Affectionate? Extremely! He’s a total lovebug who adores his people. He really loves a good snuggle. ✨ Shedding? He does not appear to shed! The Best Home for Toby Will Have: ✅ A secure potty plan—a private enclosed patio is ideal, or a fully fenced yard for safe zoomies and sunbathing. ✅ No fence? That’s okay—as long as a chew-proof lead line with swivels on both ends is installed before adoption. • The lead must reach from the back door and be no less than 20 feet long, following state law for supervised yard and sun time. • Underground or invisible fencing is not acceptable—Toby would not do well with that system. ✅ Children in the home must be age 12 or older—he’s sweet, but his zoomies and playful energy are too much for younger kids. ✅ Ideally, an able-bodied adopter who can keep up with his strength and energy—someone who enjoys regular walks and has the time and ability to help Toby stay active and fulfilled. ✅ He would do great as an only dog or with a young, playful companion dog who can keep up with his bouncy, exuberant playstyle. If you’re looking for a goofy, affectionate, and oh-so-fluffy sidekick, Toby might just be your guy!
