Hi fellow Toller lovers - I'm working on making a surfing Toller plushie and need some help reaching our pledge goal to start production. We just need 55 more pledges! This is a limited edition plush of a Toller on a surfboard. The feet are attached to the board with Velcro so if you don't want it to be riding the board, you can easily remove and just have the Toller.

All it takes is a $2 pledge now that will go towards the final cost of the plushie ($39.99). The link to pledge is:
www.gimmeswag.com/products/surfing-toller-plush

The campaign will expire on April 17! 10-30% of sales will be donated to Toller Rescue Inc., depending on how many plushies are sold 😊
____

Background:
My 5 year old Toller girl, Willow, has been surfing since she was 6 months old. We regularly surf in the summer and fall in San Diego and have competed in the surf dog competition at Del Mar for three years. She absolutely loves surfing and it's been such a joy to share this sport with her!

There really aren't a lot of Toller plushies out there so I really want to make this real!

Meet Tuna – Worcester, MA 🐾

Tuna is a ~1.5-year-old possible Toller mix I met today at Worcester Animal Rescue League, and he’s a really special guy. Super sweet, very engaging, and full of energy—this boy is built to do things.

He would thrive with someone committed to consistency and training. No small children for Tuna, but in the right home he could excel in agility, scent work, or any active outlet—he just needs a job and a person to guide him.

Tuna was found emaciated on the streets and truly deserves a second chance. He’s come a long way and is ready for someone to invest in him.

⚠️ Foster or adopter needed in CT, RI, NH, VT, or NY only (cannot place in MA due to regulations)

If you have the time, energy, and heart for a smart, driven young dog, Tuna could be an incredible partner.

📩 Please reach out if you can help!

🚨 URGENT: Suki Needs Placement ASAP 🚨

Suki is ready. Her training is complete, and she is looking for her person—but we need to move quickly so we can open space for other dogs in need.

📍 Currently located near Nashville, Tennessee

Suki is an amazing, intelligent, and driven girl who thrives with structure and engagement. She has done the work and is ready to shine in the right home.

✨ About Suki:
• Spayed female
• Trained and ready to go
• Smart, active, and eager to work
• Would excel in sports (agility, scent work, etc.) or an experienced home
• Loyal and incredibly rewarding once she bonds

💡 What she needs:
Suki does have a few quirks, but nothing that hasn’t already been addressed through training. She will do best with a dog-savvy adopter who understands structure, consistency, and leadership.

💛 The payoff?
Suki will give back everything you put into her—tenfold. She is the kind of dog that becomes your heart dog.

⏳ Timing is critical.
We need to place Suki as soon as possible so we can help the next dogs waiting for training.

👉 If you think you might be the right fit for Suki, please reach out ASAP.
👉 Foster-to-adopt options may be available.
Meet Suki 🌸

Suki is a stunning, spirited girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She’s smart, engaged, and loves being part of whatever her people are doing. Whether it’s exploring outdoors, learning something new, or simply staying close to her humans, Suki thrives on connection and partnership.

She is an active, driven dog who will do best in a home that provides structure, daily exercise, and continued training. Enrichment, hiking, obedience work, or dog sports would all be wonderful outlets for her energy and intelligence. Suki truly shines when she has a job and a person to bond with.

Suki will be placed in an adult-only home and cannot live with other female dogs. She needs an experienced, dog-savvy owner who understands leadership, consistency, and clear boundaries.

In return, Suki will give you loyalty, devotion, and a deeply connected partnership. She is a lot of dog in the very best way — bright, engaging, and ready to give her whole heart to the right home.

If you’re experienced and looking for a smart, active companion, Suki may be your perfect match. 🐾💛

Suki has been with a trainer for three weeks and our trainer will be part of her adoption process

His current caregiver, Sue, needs to step away to care for her daughter during upcoming surgeries, and we have just FIVE DAYS to find Jay a foster or adopter.

✨ About Jay:
• Sweet, affectionate, and calm
• Lower energy — perfect companion dog
• A little chunky but working on it
• Just wants love and a comfortable spot to rest

💔 He urgently needs:
• Foster OR adopter
• A calm, loving home
• A soft place to land for his senior years

Please — if you’ve ever considered fostering or adopting, this is the dog who needs you right now. #lab #labmixesofinsta #labmixrescue #labmixed #labmixlove

Lady has been adopted

Meet Lady 🐾

Lady is a 4½-month-old puppy who is half Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and half English Shepherd. As you might imagine with that mix, she is a busy, smart, and very active girl who is looking for a home ready to keep both her body and mind engaged.

Lady would make a great prospect for dog sports such as agility, barn hunt, scent work, or obedience. She loves activity and will thrive with someone who enjoys training and working with their dog.

Like most young, intelligent pups, Lady still needs to learn the rules and develop good boundaries, but she is very friendly and eager to interact. She enjoys the company of other dogs and brings a lot of enthusiasm wherever she goes.

With the right guidance, structure, and plenty of things to do, Lady is going to grow into a fantastic companion and partner for an active home.

If you’re looking for a fun, energetic puppy to train and adventure with, Lady might be the girl for you! 🐕

Meet Bonnie 💛

Bonnie is a sweet, resilient 1 1/2 - 2½-year-old spayed female who has already overcome more than most dogs ever should. Once a feral stray and heartworm-positive, this brave girl has completed treatment and is now on the path to a long, happy, and healthy life.

Bonnie absolutely adores other dogs and would truly thrive in a home with multiple canine companions. Having dog friends helps her feel confident and secure. She is also kid-friendly and enjoys being part of the family.

She loves treats, toys, and gentle affection — and yes, she enjoys being pet! As she continues to blossom, her loving personality shines brighter every day. Bonnie is smart, observant, and a quick learner once she feels safe.

Because of her past, Bonnie will need:
• A secure privacy fence
• A patient adjustment period
• A crate for nighttime and when left alone (her crate is her safe space)
• An AirTag on her collar at all times for at least the first 6 months we are investigating tracking collars as well.

Bonnie feels safest when she has structure and security. With consistency and kindness, she will reward her family with loyalty, sweetness, and quiet devotion.

If you’re looking for a gentle soul who just needs a little time and a lot of love, Bonnie may be your perfect match. 🐾💕

Bonnie will come with her crate her bedding, her toys, her collars, her leashes, and her bowls
