About Toto

Toto is an 8-year-old neutered male terrier mix with a mellow, contented presence. He exudes an easy charm, often padding around with the look of a dog who genuinely enjoys the calm pace of home life. Toto thrives in peaceful environments and is never far from giving a little grin if you catch his eye. He does well with other animals and has lived amicably with cats and even a pet skunk. While Toto is gentle and non-aggressive, chaotic scenes with very young or energetic children can feel overwhelming for him. Rather than acting out, he simply chooses a quieter corner to regroup, never resorting to nipping or biting. Toto needs more regular bathroom breaks due to his small bladder, so he’ll need someone who can let him out several times a day. He’s house trained, responds smoothly to verbal cues, and is consistently reliable on and off leash. Toto’s straightforward, sweet personality makes him an agreeable companion for anyone ready to share an easygoing routine. (Fun fact: With a birthday of April 1, Toto is an Aries—full of understated confidence.) Your new best friend is just one click away.
