Toto Mixed Breed Santa Paula, CA

Hi! I'm Toto and I'm looking for a forever home with a family who has a lot of patience and love to give me while I learn how to trust.

I'm about 11 years old and I've been at SPARC for a few years now. I came here with several of my friends. They all got adopted, but I'm still waiting for my new family. Luckily, I went to live with a nice foster family for a while where I' learned lots of new things, like how to trust. One reason I'm probably still waiting for a home is because I never learned how to be touched. I'm shy and run away when people try to pet me. But that doesn't mean I don't like people because I really do love people. I'm just scared.

I enjoyed following my foster mom everywhere she went, curling up next to her on the sofa and sunbathing in the backyard. I enjoyed playing with my foster dog sister and brother. Actually, I get along well with all small dogs, and here at SPARC I hang out with all the other little dogs while we wait for a home.

I'm crate trained and I'm almost fully house trained, I would just need to learn the right place to pee in a new yard.

I'm starting to understand and trust when people put their hand towards me (because they might have a treat!) You'll have to be patient with me as it's going to take a little longer before I'm comfortable enough to get petted.

Will you please come and meet me and take me home where I can continue to learn to trust? I've been waiting such a long time, and I promise to love you with all my heart!!!
