About Toodles

Toodles is a special senior boy who needs a loving foster or forever home. At around 16 years old, he has returned to rescue because his mom can no longer care for him due to health issues. Despite his age, Toodles is adaptable, getting along well with both cats and dogs. He appears to be mildly hearing impaired, and he’s had a rough time recently; his neglected coat required shaving, so he will need regular grooming moving forward. Toodles is not crate trained and prefers to sleep at the foot of the bed, where he feels secure. His ideal home would be one without toddlers who might not understand the importance of respecting his personal space. Toodles is neutered, microchipped, and his vaccinations are current. If you’re interested in giving him a soft place to land, consider fostering or adopting him. This could be the start of a beautiful bond. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
