About Toad

Meet Toad! This handsome 1.5-year-old Catahoula mix is looking for an active partner who understands working breeds. Weighing around 45 pounds, Toad is a smart and playful guy who thrives on mental and physical stimulation. He knows how to sit and responds well to commands, plus he’s very motivated by treats, making training a breeze. Toad loves to run and play, but he needs an outlet for his energy, whether that involves training, adventures, or simply an active lifestyle. When you first meet him in his kennel, he might seem a bit overexcited due to the bustling shelter life.

He just needs someone willing to offer him a loving home.
