Hello Everyone,
My name is Toffee and I’m a tenderhearted, trusting and very thankful little guy with toffee-colored hair, a butterscotch nose, and a special story to share. I hope you want to hear it, knowing it’s being told by a cute little guy of about 9 or 10 (years, that is) who tips the scales at a svelte 13 pounds and has a face you will love.
My foster Mom says I LOVE to be petted and tickled and neck scratches are just the best! I really LOVE getting to snuggle on the sofa and snooze on soft blankets. I also LOVE food and treats. You see, before I became a FurKid, I did not always get enough to eat, and I spent most of my time alone and tied up outside. That’s a hard life for a little guy who loves people and cuddles. Now, however, I’m making up for lost time, and I am a very appreciative and happy pup.
I’m housebroken, learning to appreciate the joys of a walk and incredibly cute – and Mom says I do the cutest things. For example, when I get up in the morning (I sleep quietly in the Big People’s bed all night and it is just my favorite thing ever!) Mom lifts me off the bed and I throw my head back and make my happy woo-hoo sound because I know I’m going for a walk. Then I do a twirl, a hop, and scamper straight to the front door. And when I come back from my walk, I know it’s time for my treat so I wiggle, dance, wag my tail, and give another “woohoo!” when I see my treat.
At home, I’m the perfect buddy to curl up with in front of the TV, or we can take a little nap under the fan. I’m also a bit of a shadow, following Mom from room to room to make sure she’s not lonely by lying down near her so she knows I am there if she needs me. I am learning about toys and I love to find one, carry it around (or chase it if you throw it for me!) and then I dance and hop around it and give it a little nibble.
If Mom’s working on the computer I like to lie quietly next to her. But if she turns and catches my eye, I immediately start wagging my tail and give her a little ‘boop.’ And when she’s cooking or prepping in the kitchen, I touch her leg with my nose to ‘check in.’

My BFK Aunties say I’m a sweet, affectionate, and gentle guy. Having me around is like having a visit from an old friend who fits right in. I’m hoping that somebody out there is looking for a loving, gentle guy like me, to “fit right in”. Do you think you and your family might have a place for me in your hearts? Could you help me write a happy ending to my story?
If so, please complete our adoption application just as soon as you can, and ask for Tenderhearted, Ticklish, and Thankful Toffee. I’ll be waiting with a smile.
