Meet Toot, a gentle soul with a heart as big as his paws. At 72 pounds and 2 years old, Toot is a mixed breed who is shy at first but, with patience and kindness, will soon become your loyal companion. Toot is currently undergoing treatment for heartworms, but that doesn’t dampen his spirit. In fact, it’s a testament to his resilience and strength. As he continues his journey to full health, Toot is seeking a calm and loving home where he can thrive. One of Toot’s endearing qualities is his treat motivation. Whether it’s a tasty snack or a gentle word of encouragement, Toot responds eagerly, making training sessions a breeze. His willingness to learn and please makes him an ideal candidate for foster-to-adopt arrangements where he can settle into his forever home at his own pace. He gets along well with other dogs and people, making him a great addition to any family, but it’s always best to bring any two- and/or four-legged siblings to a meet and greet prior to adoptions.

Like all pets at the SPCA of Texas, Toot has been neutered and microchipped and has had all his age-appropriate vaccines. He is waiting for his new family at the SPCA of Texas Russell E. Dealey Animal Rescue Center, so you’ll need an appointment to meet him. Simply find his profile at SPCA.org/Dogs and click on the “Make an Appointment” button. Throughout the month of April, all puppy adoptions are ½ price and adult dog and adult cat adoptions are only $25. This special is valid at both the Dallas and Ellis County Animal Care Centers. Animals are available for adoption at both the SPCA Dallas Animal Care Center, 2400 Lone Star Drive in Dallas, and the Ellis County Animal Care Center, 2570 FM Road 878 in Waxahachie.
