Toga Tiger is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet This Week

He's a big puppy.

Toga Tiger is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He’s a 5-month-old, 49-pound, male, Hound mix. He was transferred from a crowded shelter in the Imperial Valley through FOCAS, Friends of County Animal Shelters.

Toga Tiger is a friendly puppy. He can be shy when he’s in new situations. Once he feels safe, he likes to jump up to say hello.

He’s going to be a big dog. His new family will need to continue his training. He can live with kids, as long as they’re a little older and a little bigger.
