Update 9/18/16: Toto has been adopted!
A heartbroken little dog named “Toto,” seemed to know what his fate was when he was walked into a busy California animal control agency on Friday. The three-year-old Chihuahua was taken to the Carson Animal Control, along with a bag of food, and handed over to staff who was on hand to take him away…
The moment that Toto was surrendered was captured on video and it is a heartbreaking scene to observe. Toto repeatedly jumps on his owner’s leg, seeming to implore the man to stop the madness. Toto appears to be well aware that all he knows is soon to be lost.
On Friday, the Saving Carson Shelter Dogs Facebook page wrote:
It was very hard to watch TOTO being surrendered because it was like he knew exactly what was happening and after the camera was off he continued to try and climb up his old dad’s leg begging him not to do it.
Toto seems to be an expressive dog – in this video, he is using his body language to plead with his owner. The person who gave Toto up claims that the dog is “too vocal.” The post on Toto’s behalf reads, “He was left because they said he was too vocal, well now he isn’t saying anything. He needs help now, the Shelter is FULL! Please SHARE for his life, he is VERY special and a FOSTER or ADOPTER would save him.”
Please help save Toto’s life by taking a moment to share his adoption information. Owner surrenders are not held for any specific length of time and can be put down for any reason.

Watching the Short Video just broke my heart this morning!! It’s such a beautiful day in Wyoming … I also know a person that would love to have him here!!! Carson and California in General won’t deal at all with ANYONE outside of California so this lovely little Toto will most like be euthanized in mere days !!!
can someone go and pick him up?
They won’t adopt to out of state adopters: The crazy thing California would rather euthanize their poor unfortunate dogs in the shelters that didn’t ask to be there, than they would work with out of state rescues even… A German Shepard Rescue from Montana tried desperately to get a Shepard from there that was up for time… No way in hell would the shelter work with them…. You have to find a third party California to take the animal and then go thru them… This is plain and simple discrimination toward other rescues, people interested in the dogs there and MOST OF ALL to the dogs themselves to have to die when there is no need!!!
Well have somebody in the state adopt the dog for you,then take him home!
Well : That sure is simple !!! How the hell am I supposed to do that when I don’t know a soul out in that forsaken state: Go on Craigs list and ask for help so I can get Scammed out of a few thousand dollars… Thanks

SO basically the doesn’t really care about the animals….it’s just a job.
ADOPTED YESTERDAY
I saw that early this afternoon… So happy for him… he I am sure was a Dachshund Mix not a Chihuahua.. dogs are very lucky to leave Carson or Downey alive… he was blessed!
GREAT!!!
Unforgivable poor soul i cant get my head around anyone leaving any dog at a shelter….taking one out yes..!…but leaving one there is just heartbreaking….how do you sleep at night ….
the guy that dumped him is an asshole never own another animal please, you are trash doxxie mix looks more like it
that pos should NEVER be allowed to be near an animal for the rest of his pathetic miserable life ! How can people do this? our pets depend on us forever They are NOT disposable i hope that man suffers for the pain he caused that dog
This is very heart breaking. Wish people understand that animals do have feelings and when abandoned go through a lot of stress like in the case of toto
THIS IS ONE REASON GOD CRIES FOR US, IF ONLY.
I have to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in penning this site.
I am hoping to see the same high-grade blog posts from you

thank you!!!
I am so glad that he has been adopted
Shame on these awful people for disposing this precious dog. Toto deserves better. God will deal with them in his own way.
The owner’s face should subtly be filmed, so that they can be shamed and spread around as a “do not adopt”.
Breaks my heart and really pleased someone took him.
