Wow, how handsome is Toby? He’s like the Brad Pitt of dogs! :) Today’s Five O’Clock Cuteness is Toby, a super good-looking Hound / German Shepherd mix available for adoption in Redondo Beach California from The Lovejoy Foundation. Toby is a happy and friendly fellow who is great with other dogs and enjoys the company of kids, too. This dapper 8 year old boy loves people and hopes to find a home with a family that will love him as much as he promises to love them. He says that means “A lot!!!” Toby was found as a stray, but the quick swipe of his microchip at a vet’s office led his rescuers back to an owner who said he no longer wanted Toby. How sad! But, we can help give this story a happy ending by sharing Toby to help him get adopted.
