Animals do have a unique perception. They are fully aware whenever things aren’t okay. This dog, named “Toto,” found out that he was being given up when he stepped inside the busy Carson Animal Control office, in California, one Friday. In the video, you’ll see the instant Toto, a three-year-old Chihuahua, was given up along with a bit of his food.
Toto can be seen leaping up on his owner’s leg and trying to break free. The look on Toto’s face reveals it all. The main reason Toto was surrendered was because he was being too noisy. Which is, basically, a cheap excuse. There are many ways to handle this situation. You could always train your dog and training is available everywhere…
The Carson Animal Control office was frantic. They were almost full, and Toto had to find a foster home as soon as possible because a dog that is given up by their owner may be put down for any excuse.
Have a look at this video
Toto didn’t find a foster home. Thankfully, however, he got adopted instead! This adorable dog won’t have to worry about being given up again.
Don’t forget to share Toto’s story to all of your friends and family!

I totally agree with Stephanie…I can’t stand to see these sites..dogs have had my heart for most of my 75 years and my senior dog, charlie, was one who was dumped by his owners because he has a skin condition that requires ongoing care. I’ve never had a sweeter dog. Those of us who would never do this don’t need to see these sites and those who would do this won’t change by posting these . Please post the wonderfull love rescue dogs have to offer and stop the sad stories unless they are offering an adoption opportunity.

I am torn on this issue. I know that it is cruel and heartbreaking to see owners abandon their pets to the shelters but isn’t that better than them dumping the poor dogs by the side of the road or some farms? So we need to vilifying these people. I would rather have them give the dog up and drop them to the shelter in hopes that a loving family will adopt them than have them stay with these heartless owners only to be abused and neglected. Instead of threatening these people, and cursing them why don’t each of you go to the shelter and adopt a dog or donate.

So disgusting to do this to any animal! Why the heck did this person even have a pup!! Not fit to have any pets!!

Dogs bark. Incessive barking is annoying as all hell but you need to work with the dog to control it. It doesnt happen over night..dogs are members of the family. They usually bark for a reason..learn all the facts before buying or adopting one. And dont be so harsh to judge people who give up their pets. Some have no other choice. It could be health reasons. Could be they have lost their homes. The list goes on..
Yes It’s heartbreaking but go do something positive about situations like this instead of ripping people apart. Nasty words are not helping this little dog and others like him…

Glad Toto was adopted by a caring loving person. Previous owner never should have dog to begin with. Give him love, treats, walks, hugs and kisses.

I’d rather be homeless than give up my rottie puppy at that time. He was my buddy and i was able to buy a house so he can be outside. Townhouse complex living wasn’t for us… Too many rules and noisy neighbors.

It is always possible, with some effort, to find a home for a pet. I’ve had to do that a few times, without ever taking one to a shelter, when it was in the best interest of the pet as well as my household.

Some humans don’t deserve anything as special as a dog’s love.

This man / owner is a complete douche bag! That dog is better off! He will…if he didn’t already find the human who will love him unconditionally! God that pisses me off!
