About Todd

Todd is a pittie mixed with a dash of basset hound, and he has a real knack for winning hearts. This young guy was once down on his luck—until he left the shelter and couldn't stop grinning. These days, Todd is all about cuddles: if he’s not rolling over for belly rubs, he’s sticking his head in a welcoming lap. He’s mellow, gentle, and finds real comfort in human touch. He’s an easy walker on leash, enjoys rides in the car (especially with the sunroof open), and lives for skateboarding outings and hikes. Todd’s friendly with big and small dogs but doesn’t get along with cats. He plays well, listens quickly—usually responds after the first correction—and is crate trained, housebroken, and uncommonly peaceful in an apartment. He rarely barks and prefers quiet company. He’d fit right in with another playful dog or someone active and involved in their dog’s life. If you want a trained, affectionate, low-drama companion with a silly streak, Todd is ready for a meet and greet. Click apply to start the adoption process.
