Meet Toby: The Sweet Adoptable Dog Who Stole Hearts at Crystal Coast Dog Studio and Carolina Home and Garden
Meet Toby, the lovable Boxer who has stolen the hearts of everyone he meets! Toby is a 7-year-old bundle of joy who recently spent a day out of the shelter to enjoy some quality time at the Crystal Coast Dog Studio and the wonderfully dog-friendly Carolina Home and Garden. His charming personality and gentle nature make it hard to believe he hasn’t found his forever family yet. Let’s dive into Toby’s story and why this amazing pup would be the perfect addition to any loving home.
Toby’s Story: From Shelter Surrender to Hopeful Heartthrob
Toby’s journey to the Carteret County Humane Society shelter began on July 18, 2023, when his previous owner, unfortunately, could no longer keep him. He arrived feeling a little down and out of luck, but it didn’t take long for his sweet and loving personality to shine through. Toby may have been a bit sad at first, but he’s proven to be a resilient and optimistic pup.
This gentle boy is full of life and has so much love to give! He’s current on all his shots, has been neutered, and is just waiting for the right person or family to come along and give him the home he deserves. Check out Toby’s adoption profile here to see how you can make this sweet boy part of your family.
A Day Out at Crystal Coast Dog Studio
To give Toby a break from the shelter and a chance to show off his sweet personality, we brought him to the Crystal Coast Dog Studio for a special Doggie Day Out. At first, Toby was a little nervous in front of the camera, but we quickly discovered that he’s a big fan of string cheese! With a few cheesy bribes, he warmed up and posed like a pro.
He’s definitely a velcro dog—loving to stay close and get as many cuddles as possible. He’s the type who’d be content lounging by your side, just enjoying your company. Who could resist such a lovable lap dog?
An Unforgettable Visit to Carolina Home and Garden
After a successful studio session, we took Toby over to one of the most dog-friendly places on the Crystal Coast: Carolina Home and Garden. This place is a paradise for both people and pups, and Toby had an absolute blast! He explored the beautifully curated grounds, got showered with love from the amazing staff, and even received a few treats and a pup cup.
The original plan was to take some photos near their stunning pumpkin patch, but the owner suggested something even better—Toby hopped into their vintage truck filled with pumpkins for the cutest photo op ever! Now, this is where we give a gentle reminder: while Carolina Home and Garden loves having visitors, always remember to respect their space. They’ve put a lot of effort into making their property gorgeous for everyone to enjoy, so please ask permission before setting up any photoshoots. They do offer their lovely venue for professional photography, but a request and fee are required.
If you’re looking for a unique spot to meet a friend or client, their cozy sunroom with a café is perfect. They also host family-friendly events, offer a beautiful space for weddings and events, and even have a vintage arcade for some fun on date night. Be sure to check out their calendar for upcoming events—you won’t want to miss out!
Why Toby Deserves a Forever Home
Toby has been at the shelter for over a year, and it’s truly puzzling why this amazing dog hasn’t found his forever home yet. He’s sweet, gentle, fun-loving, and incredibly easy-going. Toby would be the perfect companion for someone looking for a laid-back, affectionate dog who’s still full of life and love to share. He’s house-trained, loves to snuggle, and would be thrilled to be someone’s loyal sidekick.
Let’s give Toby the happy ending he deserves. Share his story, spread the word, and help us find this loving boy a forever home. He’s more than ready to go on new adventures with his forever family. Could that be you?
