My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Burnt Toast looks like a Pinscher and Miniature Chihuahua mix with a black coat and warm apricot highlights that match his expressive face. He’s a small dog, and the shelter environment has simply been too much for him, not because he lacks confidence, but because he’s meant to shine in a calmer, more personal space.
Friendly and healthy, Burnt Toast is a bit on the thin side and ready for the kind of love that comes with regular meals, soft beds, and someone who notices the little things. His name fits him in the best way. Sometimes burnt toast isn’t a mistake, it’s a redirection. A pause that leads you somewhere better than where you were headed.
Burnt Toast may be one of those meaningful detours. A small dog who just needed the right turn to find safety, comfort, and a future that finally feels right. For the person who brings him home, he could be the reminder that the best things often come from unexpected moments.
