Toby, before grooming



Toby, after grooming


Toby was adopted by Linda and James with Cruiser (another rescue)
They adopted both Cruiser (on the left) and Toby (on the right) at the same time.

Hi My Name Is Toby. Yes, people I am a female.....dah! It's California, folks! So my former owner named me "TOBY". I like my name.

I was bred in California and purchased by a young female who's family has taken care of me since I was a puppy. I have been playing in the affluent beach community since then. Well now, she is all grown up, has her own life, profession and doesn't have time for us (me and my partner Cruiser) any longer. Boy, talk about a let down, this is the only comfortable home which we both have known. We wish her great success, but would like our adoption families placement to be a 'forever' success too. And that isn't so bad a wish...is it? We just want to return the love which was pledged to us initially. 

I am currently left outside because our owner's parents (which is where we have been staying) are not home from 8:30am to 8:30pm they work long hours and are gone a great deal of the time. Hey, someone needs to provide the kibble we eat.....work with us here people! We don't mind because we either stay in a kennel or have the maid stay with us. if our owners are out of town. 

I am housetrained, leash trained, can use a doggie door, am thoroughly crate trained and know the commands of sit, down, stay, come.....and my foster Mom says about 100% of the time. I absolutely love to ride in the car and I love to play with people, dogs and of course some children. (yikes, .....don't we all!!!!).

I will need to be kept on the Westie Diet (see our reference webpage), continue obedience training and reinforce of my previously trained house manners. I came with all medical and vaccination records all the way back to puppy hood. I have a huge medical record folder, thanks Mom and Dad for keeping it up. 

I am up to date on my DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies shots. I have recently been groomed, my previous groomer decided to move out of state.....yikes. I have been patiently waiting to be groomed appropriately. Now I actually look like a Westie....sigh......yep.....that's me! My previous owner thought I looked like a puppy, yep I do have beautiful conformation. 

Please see if you can find it in your heart and home to extend a welcome 'paw' for me and my male pal, Cruiser. I need a new home, please submit an application. I promise you won't be sorry. I really am a very good girl, you wait and see........really!
