Toto was purchased from a puppy store as a young puppy… and then spent most of his life left outside. No consistency. No guidance. No safety. For years, he wasn't taught how to trust people, feel secure, or simply be a dog. About two months ago, we were finally able to step in and bring Toto into our care. It was far too late, but thankfully, not too late. Because of the neglect he experienced early on, Toto grew up unsure of the world around him. Unsure of routines. Unsure of other dogs. Unsure of what comes next. And yet… he still has so much love left to give. Give Toto reassurance, affection, and consistency, and you'll see it immediately. He melts. He relaxes. He bonds hard. Toto is a true Velcro dog - happiest curled up beside you, following you from room to room, loving you with his whole heart once he feels safe! At 4 years old and just 11 lbs, Toto is both playful and calm. He enjoys his walks, is fully house trained, and loves his cozy, cuddly downtime. Because he missed out on early socialization, Toto would do best as the only dog in the home, but with people, he is gentle, affectionate, and deeply loyal. He so badly WANTS TO BE LOVED, AND WANTS TO LOVE YOU BACK. Toto is still learning confidence, especially when it comes to being alone, but his foster says his progress has been incredible. He's trying so hard every single day! What Toto needs now is someone who won't give up on him. Someone patient. Someone consistent. Someone who understands that dogs like Toto don't come broken, they come unfinished and just need someone who can trust that he will break out of his shell!
