Rinse her mouth with cool running water for at least 15 minutes. Keep her head tilted downward to prevent aspiration of water. It is likely there is not enough toxin to cause serious toxicity. Monitor for weakness, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, disorientation or seizures. Treatment is largely symptomatic. See your veterinarian if Shirley develops any of these symptoms.

There are toads that are poisonous to dogs, and it may be Pepsi had a toad that was poisonous in his mouth causing these symptoms. The drooling can be a sign of nausea. Rinse his mouth out with cool water, and offer him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the drooling continues or he develops other signs such as vomiting, lethargy, and anorexia, have him seen by a vet immediately. Best of luck.
