🍞🐾 Meet Toast — This Goofball Is Ready to Rise! 🐾🍞
Poor little Toast arrived at APL as a stray in pretty rough shape. She was covered in fleas and had lost fur on her back end, leaving her itchy, uncomfortable, and wondering what happened to her life.
Thankfully, Toast is now in a loving foster home where she's getting the care she needs—and she's quickly discovering that life can be pretty darn good. Her skin is feeling better every day, and in true Toast fashion, she's been keeping her foster family laughing with her silly antics. 😂
At 2 years old, this Shepherd/Terrier mix is the perfect combination of playful goofball and sweet, gentle girl.
✨ Here's what we know about Toast:
🐶 Sweet and shy girl who is blossoming in foster care
🍞 On the mend and feeling better every day
😂 Full-time goofball who keeps her foster family entertained
💕 Loves to play but also knows when it's time to settle down
🎓 Already knows sit and shake
🚶 Walks beautifully on a leash and would make a fantastic walking or hiking buddy
🦴 Takes treats like a perfect little lady—very gentle and respectful

Toast has been through enough. What she needs now is a family who will continue showing her just how wonderful life can be.
She doesn't need a perfect past. She just needs a perfect-for-her future. ❤️
And judging by the happy, silly girl we're seeing in foster care, Toast is more than ready for it.
If you're looking for a sweet adventure buddy who will happily chase squeakies with you, accompany you on walks, and then settle down for some quality couch time, Toast may be your girl.
🍞 She's been through the tough stuff. Now it's time for this sweet girl to rise into the life she deserves.
