Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 2-year-old Tod.

Here is Baypath’s description of Tod:

“Tod has made many friends here at Baypath, including doggy friends and with staff and volunteers. Tod savors every moment he can have with people, curling up in their laps, and gives the sweetest kisses. (Shh, he doesn’t know he’s not a lap dog). He loves belly rubs, chin scratches and basically any form of affection.

“In addition to affection, Tod loves to play, run around and learn! His favorite toy is a stuffed squeaky. Tod is so smart and loves his training time. He is very eager to please, food motivated and really enjoys learning new tricks. He has already learned basic commands and loves showing off his ‘sit’ and ‘paw!’

“Tod would love to continue consistent training with his new family and hopes to find a pal to teach him new tricks and skills.”

As part of Baypath’s “Dogust” large dog promotion, Tod’s adoption fee is completely waived through the end of August.

Baypath also is offering a back to school training package for several dogs and cats to help set them up for success and encourage adopters to continue with their training. For more information, email adopt@baypathhumane.org or visit baypathhumane.org/adopt.
