My boyfriend and I at all times talked about getting a canine once we moved in collectively, and never one month after we did, we discovered Toby.

One afternoon (fully random) we determined to go on craigslist to see if any pups in our space wanted a superb house. We needed to be cautious in regards to the measurement, as a result of our condominium advanced had a 25 pound max on canine. 5 minutes into the search we got here throughout the advert, “Free To Good Residence.” I clicked on it they usually had described him as a small poodle combine and never way more.

I referred to as the individuals to see if he was nonetheless out there, they usually informed us they have been gong to fulfill up with a pair who had referred to as about him first, but when they did not assume they have been a superb match they’d give us a name. Certain sufficient, two hours later we obtained a name asking if we wished to fulfill the little man.

My boyfriend, our roommate, and I drove about an hour so we might meet him. They informed us that they have been fostering this canine as a result of a buddy of theirs discovered him roaming their condominium advanced for a couple of weeks.

The image they confirmed us of him after they discovered him was horrible, he was all brown and matted and coated with fleas. Once they have been lastly in a position to seize him, they obtained him all groomed and on flea medicine. All he wanted now was a superb house.

We fell in love with him the second we met him and now he’s essentially the most spoiled pup round! We did not even have to consider it, Toby was his identify, it match him completely. We’ve got now had him for 7 months and it was just a few months in the past we discovered he wasn’t a “poodle-mix”, he was really a Bichon Frise.

Toby loves his toys, going for walks, individuals meals, the canine park, cuddling, and his momma and pappa. I do know we have been meant to offer this canine the proper house, and he could not be liked extra.
