Tobi's Next Chapter
Hi! Tobi is a Catahoula Leopard Cur and he is 5 years old. I adopted him from a pet store in Fairless Hills after hearing his story in February 2020. He was a hurricane rescue from Louisiana, and a woman had fostered him until he was transferred up to PA when he was about 4 months old. He is an affectionate, energetic dog that loves to go on walks and hikes. He loves laying outside in the sun and chasing squirrels. He has always been a lover of people, especially when they give him belly rubs and attention. I would love to find him a home that has a yard so he can run around and play. He gets along with small dogs and some older medium sized dogs best. He has been my best friend and companion for the last 4.5 years, and it breaks my heart to have to say goodbye. I am moving out of the country in a few months with no other options. I'm really hoping to find him a new best friend that will love and care for him the way every dog deserves to be cared for.
