About El Toro

Meet El Toro! This handsome, 10-month-old male Saint Bernard weighs in at a solid 122 lbs. He's a loving giant full of energy, wiggles, and yes, lots of drool. El Toro has been diagnosed with angular limb deformity in his ankles and there is concern about possible hip dysplasia due to some intermittent bunny hopping. It's important for him to get regular walks and exercise to build strong muscles. Keeping him at a healthy weight will also be crucial to his future well-being, especially since large breeds can be prone to arthritis. Starting him on a joint supplement could be beneficial. Despite these concerns, El Toro is ready to find his forever home. He gets along well with cats, dogs, and children, making him a fantastic family companion. The adoption fee is $200, covering his neuter, microchip, wellness blood work, fecal flotation, deworming, and essential vaccinations. Don't miss your chance to welcome this loving giant into your life!
