Get to Know Toby

Toby is a sweet senior Labrador mix who has known both the comfort of home and the challenge of starting over. After spending much of his life in a loving foster home, when his foster parent suffered an unexpected medical emergency, Toby was soon back at our shelter. At first Toby struggled a bit, but today he is doing well, has made new friends in the shelter, and continues to enjoy his days here. But shelter life is not where he wants to spend his golden years. This gentle giant still has some pep in his step, craves affection, and is happiest to be alongside the people he trusts. Toby longs for a calm, loving home where he can finally settle in for good. He’s ready to give all his love to a lucky family who are willing to give him a chance.

High-Quality Medical Care

For the first 15 days following your adoption, we care for an adopted animals in our medical center. An adoption counselor will provide any adopter with specific details on what medical services are covered. After this period, adopters can transition to our Pet Health Center where our high-quality veterinary care continues.

Our Pet Health Center

We offer low-cost, high-quality veterinary care to all dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens—including pets not adopted here. Our quality veterinarian team provides all the services you would expect from a private veterinary practice, and when you visit our Pet Health Center, not only do you receive low-cost pet care, but proceeds help support our mission to save lives.

Discounted Specialty Services at The Animal Medical Center (AMC)

North Shore Animal League America has partnered with The Animal Medical Center (AMC) in New York City to provide high quality specialty veterinary services for our adopters at a discounted rate. Every North Shore Animal League America adopter is issued a special tag that entitles the adopter to 20% off any specialty medical services.
