All About Toffee

Hi my name is Toffee! A few things I think you should know about me is that I love fluffy blankets and laying on the couch with people. I love everyone I meet, two and four legged. I also love sleeping and going on car rides. I’d rather be a front seat rider but I have learned from my foster brother to stay sitting in the back seat. I’m more of a relaxed and laid back kinda guy but I do have my moments where I love to power chew through my toys. The bigger the toy the better!

I'm crate trained and have learned to signal by sitting by the back door when I need to go out to potty. I will also let you know when I’m in my kennel if I need to potty by serenading you with my lovely voice. 

My ears, sigh, I will require frequent ear cleanings and flushes for the rest of my life.  I'm getting pretty good at tolerating it and sitting while they get cleaned.  The vet says I have these things called polyps that grow in them and cause gunk to get stuck in my ears more than normal dogs and and then it can cause infections.  I have had a few removed but they do come back. As long as they are small they don't necessarily need removal but if they get big enough they may have to be removed by the vet again.  I promise I will make up for it in cuddles and affection!   

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted.  Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above.  Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications.  All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes.  Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters.  Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.

All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages. 

We typically will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks, but we do notify all applicants of the outcome.
