News ImageToby
November 14, 2011  We adopted Toby in Feb. of 2011. BEST day of our lives. We had been looking around at other humane societies and rescue organizations for 2-3 months and just didn't find the right fit for us. We wanted a small family dog, no puppies, and not too hyper. We have 3 children 9yrs, 4yrs, and 2yrs. Everyone keep telling me to go to Rancho Cucamonga Humane Society so I finally did. Wow, it's so clean, modern, and everyone is super friendly. We went through aisles and just didn't see dog good for us. On are way out we looked at the dogs behind the front desk. That were we spotted Tody. We went into the meet in greet room and feel in LOVE. The staff was so sweet and helpful, I felt I they truely care about all these animals so much. They really want match up families and dogs, not just get rid of them. To adopt,they must meet all family members but my husband doesn't get home from work until 5pm and that when they close. They stayed open late for him so he could meet Tody. We got him that night. He is PERFECT; he's house trained, nuetrued, collar trained, doesn't bark or bite. We are all so HAPPY and LOVE him so much. We take him everywhere. We tell everyone that "he rescued us, not the other way around." Thank you Rancho Cucamonga Humane Society for gifting our family with Tody. What a wonderful experience it was.
