Tobik....................Ready for adoption

This boy is Tobik. He is about 8 years, around 50 cm high with a self-respect character. Tobik was neutered before his appearance in the shelter. His front paw is twisted and shriveled. He is seeking contact with humans and though sometimes he gets scared he littlle by little is getting used to people.
He is very quiet and we haven’t heard him ever make a sound. He just slides like a shadow inside his cage. Tobik is not very active and doesn’t yearn to go out for walks. He moves around but does it more as a necessity rather than for fun. His left side is a bit twisted probably due to some uneven weight distribution.
Tobik very quietly approaches his bowl when being fed but if other dogs run out of the winter den he just steps aside and quietly sits there waiting for his turn as if excusing himself for not being like other dogs.
Everytime I visit him I see such sadness in his eyes, such despair and indifference to the things around him. It is a nightmare when hope dies in a kind heart… please keep his fire going, Tobik won’t cause any trouble, and he will light up your life with his gentle nature.
Tobik is vaccinated, neutered, healthy, knows the leash.
