About Toto

Toto is a small bundle of joy, weighing in at just 5 pounds. At around 1–2 years old, this Cairn Terrier mix has a vibrant personality full of quirks. He’s an entertaining little performer, often breaking into spins and twirls to greet his favorite people, followed by his favorite activity: snuggling. Whether you're working from home, catching up on Netflix, or settling in for the night, he prefers the coziest spot—right on your lap. He gets along well with his foster sibling, although larger dogs can make him a bit shy. Toto's currently unfazed by the three cats in his foster home, proving he's adaptable. Car rides are a casual affair for him—he just needs a bit of reassurance and a comfy spot. While he's still mastering house training, it's clear he prefers lounging on the couch to being crated. Toto seeks a calmer adult-only home with someone present most of the time, ready to be his loving companion. No fenced yard is needed, making him a perfect fit for various living situations. After overcoming neglect that left him with significant hair loss, he’s slowly regaining his coat and looking forward to thriving in a caring environment. All he really wants is a warm lap and a little patience from his forever human. Your new best friend is just one click away.
