Toby is ADOPTED!

I've been near tears since last night, but they are ALL happy tears. Our sweet Toby hit the jackpot last night and went home with a wonderful woman. His new momma is retired, takes two walks a day (along with the neighbors dog) and has so much love to give. She even came to meet him with lots of treats in her pockets and her own poop bags haha.

For those of you that don't know, Toby had a pretty rough beginning. Toby spent the first two years of his life on a 16 pound chain that embedded into his neck. Our rescue partner that saved him, stated that it was a mere 2 INCHES from hitting his spinal cord. The volunteer in Missouri that stepped up to help Toby very literally saved his life. She was even able to take Toby's previous owner to court for animal cruelty...and won! I am forever grateful to this wonderful woman and the whole team that helped Toby recover.

By the time Toby came to Wisconsin, he was all healed up and happy. All his fur has grown back on his neck and you would never guess that anything happened to him! I personally LOVE the way that Toby's new mom put it, "Your kindness to Toby ripples through his heart and carries on and on and on". Toby is the most loving and accepting dog, despite the life he was given. And I truly believe that a little bit of everyone's love and kindness towards him will carry on through him, as a constant reminder of their dedication to these animals in need. I am so thankful to be a small part of this story as his foster mom these last few weeks.

Toby was all panty smiles when it was time to go home with his mom. Unfortunately, all those pictures were horribly blurry, awww. But here's a pretty sweet photo of Toby and his new mom. Once again, him and those EYES. They just say it all.

Congratulations Toby and Jean!
