My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Toledo: A story of hope, resilience, and a whole lot of love waiting to be discovered.

This sweet boy's journey started when he was surrendered to another shelter at just 17 weeks old. We welcomed him to our facility in May 2025, hoping a fresh start would help him find his forever home. Now, at 1 1/2 years old, he's still waiting, and we can't understand why.

Despite his past, Toledo is an absolute sweetheart. He loves cuddles and is a total goofball, adoring our staff and volunteers, but it's not the same as having a family. He is a gem on a leash. He loves car rides and pup cups. He loves to play with toys, but hasn't mastered fetch. He truly just wants to be with people.

He seems to get along with other calm and kind dogs, as always, slow introductions are best.

Toledo is fully vetted, full of life, and so ready to meet his forever family. If you're looking for a loving companion, please consider Toledo. Let's help him find the home he deserves and rewrite his story.

**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 40 lbs**
