The Mighty Toro

Greeting Animal Lovers,
Although licking his chops in true predator fashion, this pup is very compassionate and truly wouldn't squish a grape. Toro is a three year and seven month old Terrier / Pit Bull mix looking for a home at the Tampa Humane Society. Unfortunately like every other dog that is any part Pit Bull, Toro is banned from a grand majority of resident communities and complexes. Toro's owners were forced to give him up due to the rules of an apartment complex that they have recently moved into.  Pit Bulls are often directly linked to angry or aggressive behavior and for this reason, complexes feel the need to take precautionary measures and ban the breed from living in their perimeters.  Although this definitely prevents any potential accidents from occurring, it is forcing people to surrender their Pit Bulls and mixes. With such a big difference in entrance and exit rates of this highly banned animal, dogs like Toro end up staying in shelters for an overwhelmingly long period of time.  This case proves no different, and because Toro has been at the shelter since August 19 (over 30 days), his adoption price has dropped from $150 to $75 and he comes with shots for life.  If you or anyone you know is looking for a sweet boy who loves other animals, Toro is your guy.  He is also neutered and comes with an embedded microchip, so if he gets lost or stolen his owner's information will be attached to him.  Feel free to go down to the Tampa Humane Society, located on 3607 N. Armenia Ave in Tampa, Florida for a meet and greet, get to know him.
