At just over a year old, this formerly timid boy is proof that gentle hearts just need time to feel safe.Tobias todayThese days, Tobias loves being goofy along the trail with his volunteer buddies, sniffing every interesting leaf and sticking close to the people he trusts. In the play yard, you’ll catch glimpses of his silly side as he relaxes, runs, and checks back in for reassuring ear rubs and soft words.•Enjoys calm walks and quiet adventures.•Thrives on gentle affection and encouragement.•Young, sensitive, and eager to keep learning.What Tobias needsNew situations still make Tobias worry, so he is looking for a family who will let him take things at his own pace and never push him into scary moments.
