My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

French Toast landed himself one heck of a foster home, and we have been learning so much about our sweet Brunch King.

The first night in his foster home Toast was petrified, and he took comfort in the small space of the bathroom, and it’s where he curled up for the first 24 hours.

Toastie is a totally foodie though, and a calm touch and lots of treats is an easy way to get to his heart. These days Toast now curls up in his favorite futon rather than the cold bathroom floor, or he falls asleep head on the legs of the humans. Toastie has even become quite the work from home help (some would say distraction) and he won’t hestitate to remind you if you haven’t stopped for a snack break in awhile!

Toastie loves his cat friends and tries hard to be buds, though he is also so receptive with them that even the wise senior cat in the house doesn’t mind him - and he usually minds the Foster dogs mom brings home.

Toast is dog friendly as well and in fact lights up when he sees dogs - we think his confidence would skyrocket with a dog friend. Toast’s foster parents also say he is a smart cookie who picks up on training quickly. Toast is so wonderful in fact he smoozed foster dad into going from “temp foster” to “full time foster.”

While Toast has come so far in the time we have had him, he still has a ways to go. Many of our dogs past we can only speculate on, and it’s not often you’ll hear me outrightly say it, but I know a person caused Toast to have all the fears he has and I’m furious about it. Toast still flinches and panics if you come in too quickly to say hi. He has good days and bad days as to what might spook him and send him off to find a safe space for hours, and the spooky electrician that came to the house ruined almost an entire weekend for him.

Toast is truly one of the NICEST dogs, he just aims to please, and you can tell he wants so badly to be the happy, cuddley, carefree dog that we see glimmers of each day. We know he will get there, and we will take all the Swampie time he needs.
