If you love goofy dogs, we have just the guy for you.

Toro is a young shepherd-pit mix who loves toys. He thrives on human interaction. So much so that, well, he has some separation anxiety. Throw him a tennis ball? He’s great. Leave him alone and unrestrained in your house? Hey, you were thinking about a major remodel anyway, right? He just wants to be with you. Fortunately, he is crate-trained. He’s good with kids and other dogs. He’s also house-trained, up to date on his shots and neutered.

Toro is available through PAWS of Grays Harbor, 800 W. First St., Aberdeen. Stop by to meet him on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., or Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. You can fill out an adoption application online at www.pawsgh.org. For more info, find them on Facebook or call 360-533-1141. Adopters who are 55 and older receive a 20 percent discount on adoption fees.
