Sweet Dog in a Maine Shelter for Months Looking for Forever Home

Christmas is a time for giving. That means it's time to head to your local pet adoption center and give the gift of a new home to a sweet animal who needs it.

There's not a better time of year to provide an animal those new digs. Plus, your family will love you for it. And, as someone who has rescued pets his whole life, these sweet angels will love you unconditionally, forever.

There just so happens to be a good boy in Central Maine waiting for that forever home. Maybe this holiday season he will get that present.

Meet Tobias.

Tobias is a nearly 3-year-old terrier-pit bull mix who has been at the Kennebec Valley Human Society for five months. This sweet baby is ready for a fun and energetic family to bring him home.

The Humane Society describes Tobias as a "ladies' man," who knows how to melt hearts. He's also very protective, but warms up quickly once he gets to know you. Tobias is very active and playful, which is perfect for a family looking for a fun-loving dog. He also loves his toys, so be ready for a house full of them.

The shelter does add that Tobias loves to eat anything, so he sounds like every other dog in the history of dogs. Could you imagine a dog that was picky? I don't think they exist.

Honestly, Tobias sounds like a perfect companion for an active family, especially one with a big yard that's fenced in, as Tobias does tend to chase after smaller animals. He is part terrier, after all.

If you are interested in meeting or possibly adopting Tobias, you can reach out to the Kennebec Valley Humane Society here. He, along with many other pups and animals, are waiting for the perfect person or family to give them the best present of all this holiday season: a forever home.
