If you’re looking for a dog who will bring warmth, comfort, and unconditional love into your life, look no further than Toast—a 2-year-old, 55-pound shepherd mix with a heart as golden as his coat. Just like his namesake, Toast is all about warmth, joy, and making every moment cozier. Toast is the ultimate family dog. He adores children and will happily run and play alongside them, sharing in their adventures. But his favorite way to show love? Hugs. Toast has mastered the art of the full-body, soul-warming embrace, wrapping himself around anyone he meets as if he’s known them forever. If you’re in need of a four-legged best friend who gives the kind of hugs that melt away a long day, Toast is your guy. When he’s not snuggling, he’s content lounging by your side or chasing bees in the yard—though he’s learned the hard way that they’re a bit too “spicy” for his taste. He’s potty trained and crate trained, though he’d much rather be curled up next to his favorite people. He’s also dog-friendly, but his opinion on cats remains a mystery. Toast would thrive in a home with a 5 foot fenced yard where he can safely play before coming inside to warm your heart with his affectionate nature. If you’re searching for a loyal, cuddly, and endlessly loving companion, Toast is ready to fill your home with joy—one hug at a time. Ready for the best embrace of your life?
